About the Role

KeyMe sits at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, software, and mechanical design.  Our self-service kiosks scan and duplicate thousands of keys per day, and are effectively an autonomous self-calibrating machine shop in a box.

We build systems to scale out our fleet of robotic key copying kiosks as we expand our operations throughout the US. We are responsible for a broad range of KeyMe’s technology development such as our core libraries, backend integration software, USB device management, and robotics control software.
