at Serve Robotics

๐Ÿข About Serve Robotics

Serve Robotics is pioneering zero-emissions, self-driving food delivery with a fleet of sidewalk robots. As a mission-driven startup spun out of Uber, you'll contribute to sustainable urban logistics and be part of a team redefining last-mile delivery with cutting-edge autonomy.

About This Role

As a Remote Supervision Coordinator, you'll be the human-in-the-loop ensuring our autonomous robots operate safely and efficiently. Your real-time monitoring and incident resolution directly impact customer satisfaction and our robots' reliability, making you a critical link between our technology and real-world operations.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

Start your shift by logging into the monitoring dashboard, reviewing any overnight incidents, and coordinating with the previous shift. Throughout the day, you'll supervise dozens of robots, handle real-time alerts (e.g., stuck robots, customer inquiries), and document each event. You'll also test new features or support pilot programs, collaborating with engineering teams to improve robot performance.

๐ŸŽฏ Who Serve Robotics Is Looking For

  • Experienced in fast-paced operations or logistics (2+ years), with a knack for multitasking and prioritizing under pressure.
  • Tech-savvy with strong computer skills, comfortable using multiple web-based tools simultaneously for monitoring and reporting.
  • Meticulously detail-oriented, able to spot anomalies in robot behavior or operational workflows and document them accurately.
  • Excellent communicator who can calmly coordinate with restaurants, merchants, and customers to resolve issues on the fly.

โš ๏ธ Common Mistakes to Avoid
