Software Developer, Full Stack

We are an innovative, Vancouver-based startup at the forefront of robotics, AI, and machine vision technologies. Backed by VC funding, we have received recognitions including the 2025 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Leadership Award, the AAM Supplier Excellence Innovation Award, and the 2024 BC Tech “Company of the Year – Growth.” Apera AI helps manufacturers make factories more flexible and productive. 4D Vision systems give robots the clarity to see and handle objects with human-like capability for challenging applications such as bin picking, sorting, packaging, and assembly.

Apera is led by an experienced team from high-growth companies focused on robotics, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing. Let’s End Robot Blindness. Together. Robots can do amazing things, if they can see. Apera AI builds breakthrough 4D Vision™ systems that enable robots to act on what they see. We’re looking for a Full Stack Software Developer who thrives on building tools that make AI-powered robotics real. You’ll turn complex data, 3D vision, and simulation workflows into elegant, intuitive web applications that engineers love to use.

You’ll be part of the team behind Apera Forge, our browser-based simulation and development platform that lets customers design, test, and deploy robotic vision systems. Your work will bridge the gap between machine intelligence and human usability. This isn’t a typical software role—it’s bigger, faster, and closer to the action. At Apera AI, you’ll build front-to-back features that shape how robotic vision is deployed across industries worldwide.

• Design and deliver: Build production-ready features across the stack—from modern React UIs to scalable APIs and data services.
• Shape experiences: Turn complex 3D vision workflows into intuitive, high-performance web interfaces used by robotics engineers.
• Integrate intelligence: Connect AI-driven analytics and simulation data to Forge, enabling users to visualize, tune, and validate robotic performance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with ML, robotics, and UX teams to design features that bridge AI algorithms and deployment tools.
• Optimize for speed and scale: Implement efficient data pipelines and automated testing to ensure reliability, maintainability, and fast iteration.
• Continuously improve: Apply user feedback and analytics to refine usability and adoption.

• See above responsibilities as core duties of the role.

At Apera, we don’t just build robots—we build the intelligence that helps them see, think, and act.

• You’ll build where AI meets the real world. Your work powers tools used by global manufacturers to deploy robotics faster and smarter.
• You’ll grow fast. Exposure to AI vision, 3D simulation, and scalable web architecture will expand technical depth and problem-solving.
• You’ll see your impact. Features you ship help engineers reduce downtime, speed deployment, and unlock new automation possibilities.
• You’ll shape the product. Forge is evolving, and your ideas will influence its future.

• Purpose with impact: You’re building software that defines how robots see and work with people.
• Freedom to innovate: We move fast, test often, and welcome fresh ideas to push robotics UX forward.
• Growth at the frontier: Hands-on experience across robotics, AI, simulation, and data-driven development.
• Culture of curiosity: We’re a team of engineers, scientists, and builders who question assumptions.

• 3+ years of experience developing production-grade software across frontend and backend environments.
• Proficiency in Python (Flask/FastAPI), React, TypeScript, and modern API design.
• Ability to translate user needs into polished, performant web applications.
• Comfort working with 3D data, simulation tools, or visualization frameworks.
• Strong communication skills and collaboration across disciplines.
• Bonus points: experience integrating AI-driven tools, robotic simulation data, or real-time visualization pipelines.

• Every employee is an owner — equity for all.
• A culture of curiosity: we experiment, learn fast, and share openly.
• Well-funded and scaling quickly, with Series A funding fueling product expansion and new hires.
• High-impact work with autonomy, visibility, and clear growth paths.

Straightforward compensation with three career levels reflecting increasing scope, technical depth, and leadership influence. You’ll join at the level that matches your experience:

Intermediate Engineer (typically 3–8 years): CAD$110,000 – CAD$145,000

Senior Engineer (typically 8–12 years): CAD$150,000 – CAD$180,000

Principal Engineer (typically 12+ years): CAD$190,000 and above

Our total compensation range of CAD$110,000–CAD$190,000+ includes base salary and equity opportunities. We tailor offers based on skills, problem-solving, and impact. Transparency is our baseline; growth is our promise. At Apera AI, you’ll help bring intelligent robots into production and shape the future of automation.
