Software Developer, Full Stack

Overview

We are an innovative, Vancouver-based startup at the forefront of robotics, AI, and machine vision technologies. Backed by VC funding and recognized with awards 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”, we are redefining the future of AI-driven robotic vision systems.

Apera AI helps manufacturers make their factories more flexible and productive. Robots enhanced with Apera’s software have 4D Vision – the ability to see and handle objects with human-like capability. Challenging applications such as bin picking, sorting, packaging, and assembly are now open to fast, precise, and reliable automation. 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 give robots the clarity to handle complex, real-world tasks. But robots don’t just need vision, they need the brains and software to act on it. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Software Developer who thrives on building the tools that make AI-powered robotics real. Someone who can turn complex data, 3D vision, and simulation workflows into elegant, intuitive web applications that engineers love to use. 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 real-world 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, reduce friction, and increase adoption.

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

Here’s what makes this role special:

• You’ll build where AI meets the real world. Your work powers the 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 your technical depth and creative problem-solving.
• You’ll see your impact. Every feature you ship will help real engineers reduce downtime, speed up deployment, and unlock new automation possibilities.
• You’ll shape the product. Forge is still evolving - and your ideas will directly influence its future.

• Purpose with impact:
  You’re not writing code in isolation. You’re building software that defines how robots see and work alongside people.
• Freedom to innovate:
  We move fast, test often, and expect you to bring fresh ideas that push the boundaries of what’s possible in robotics UX.
• Growth at the frontier:
  You’ll gain hands-on experience across robotics, AI, simulation, and data-driven development — all in one role.
• Culture that values curiosity:
  We’re a team of engineers, scientists, and builders who believe innovation comes from questioning assumptions.

• 3+ years of experience developing production-grade software across frontend and backend environments.
• Proficiency in Python (Flask/FastAPI), React, Type Script, 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…
