About Tutor Intelligence

Tutor builds generally capable robots and puts them to work. Delivered in days not years, from $14 an hour. Backed by AI Grant and USV.

About the role

We believe general-purpose, generally-intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes. Robots will work in our factories, move our goods, walk on our streets and eventually be in our homes. To build that future, research and deployment must work in lockstep: real-world operation must make the technology better and better technology must make deployment easier. We're looking for the thinkers, builders, and researchers who want to be part of that loop.

What they're looking for

  • 6+ years building production software, including ownership of internal or operational systems: You have owned a system a business depends on day to day
  • Data modeling as a discipline: You have designed and evolved a relational schema that many teams depended on, and carried out the migrations. PostgreSQL experience preferred
  • Full-stack fluency: TypeScript and React on the front end, Python or TypeScript services on the back end, and comfort in whichever layer the problem is in
  • Comfort with the people side of operations: You can sit with a technician or a plant manager, understand what they do, and come back with software that fits it
  • Comfort with AI coding agents: You have used tools like Claude Code or similar for real engineering work, directing agents through multi-step tasks. You understand their failure modes and know when to trust vs. verify
  • Judgment about what to build: You lean toward building a tool over buying one, and you can tell when buying is right. You know when a process needs software and when it does not
