About Kovari
Kovari develops frontier technology to transform physical businesses. We partner with established operators to change how they run, and we build and operate businesses of our own through our subsidiaries.
We are a small team of builders, operators, and researchers. We deploy on site, alongside the businesses we serve, and iterate in the field. We have raised over $6M from leading investors.
We are based in San Francisco and work in person.
The Role
You will lead the on-site operators who run our robots every day. You own the team, the shifts, and the results: robots working safely, consistently, and at the pace our customers need. Your operators are also the front line of our data flywheel, so how well they work shapes how fast our robots improve.
