About Alloy Robotics

We believe robotics is the industry of our lifetime, and data is its lifeblood.

Alloy is the AI-native data platform for robotics teams. Robot fleets generate enormous volumes of logs, video, telemetry, and mission data, and most of it ends up in silos where nobody can use it. Alloy turns it into one queryable layer with AI agents on top: engineers ask questions in natural language, get automated mission reports, and catch failures before they compound. The point is simple. Your robot breaks, you find out why, and your best people spend their time building the next robot instead of digging through the last one.

We've raised $16m, backed by Square Peg, Blackbird, and Airtree, with angels including senior leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Tesla, Waymo, and Halter. We partner with robotics teams across defence, agriculture, maritime, humanoids, construction, and medical, including Advanced Navigation, DroneForge, Breaker Industries, and Puralink. We're a lean team building from Sydney, and are adding our first US hires.

Where we are, and where we're heading

We just raised our seed and the company is stretching: expanding in the US, customers on both sides of the Pacific, bigger moments ahead. The founder's agenda is growing faster than any one calendar. This role turns it into finished work.

About The Role

You'll work directly with our founder as leverage for the whole company: owning special projects end to end, carrying work that has no owner yet, and being the stability that keeps decisions moving when the founder is heads-down or on the road.

This is an owner role. One month you're scoping a market entry, the next you're running the home end of a founder travel week, then taking a partner question from blank page to recommendation.

What You'll Do

Own special projects: scope, drive, landKeep the founder's agenda moving: prep, follow-through, decisions teed upTriage what genuinely needs the founderWrite memos, briefings, and analyses people act onTake new problems to working, then hand them to a long-term owner

Who You Are

Structured, fast, allergic to busywork. You'd rather own a hard, undefined problem than execute a tidy one, and you treat discretion as non-negotiable.

You may be a good fit if you have

3+ years delivering complex work end to end, under real stakesStructured problem-solving that turns mess into plansWriting that executives act on without a meetingComfort with numbersHigh agency and complete discretion

Strong candidates may also have

Early-stage experience, or something you built yourselfTechnical fluency with engineersAmbition toward a leadership seat

How We Work

We're building the company we always wanted to join: small, fast, and serious about the craft. The bar is work you'll be proud of in five years, shipped this week. Everyone owns outcomes end to end: the interesting problems don't come with instructions, and nobody will hand you a playbook. We question requirements, delete what shouldn't exist, and spend our energy where customers feel it. If you want clear lanes and a manager to set your week, we'll frustrate you. If you want real problems, real pace, and the best work of your career, you'll fit right in.
