Digital Solutions Lead
About Slip Robotics
Slip Robotics builds autonomous robotic systems for warehouse logistics. We are a venture-backed, fast-growing team where technology, data, and AI are core to how we operate — not just what we sell. Our Digital Solutions team builds the internal tools, workflow automations, enterprise integrations, and governed systems that keep the company scaling efficiently.
The Role
We are hiring a Digital Solutions Lead to own the design, development, and productionization of internal tools, workflow automations, and cross-functional applications across Slip Robotics. This is the person who turns operational problems into software — fast, pragmatically, and at a quality level that scales.
You will lead a small, high-output team that builds tools the entire organization depends on. You will also steward Slip’s AI tool governance framework — managing the pipeline that classifies, reviews, and promotes AI-assisted tools across the company, and owning the Slip Hub as our centralized platform for tool delivery and AI tool governance.
AI is a core accelerant for this role. You will use AI-assisted development daily and set the standard for how your team leverages it to produce outsized output.
What You Will Do
- Design, build, and ship internal tools, dashboards, workflow automations, and enterprise system integrations that solve real operational problems.
- Own the productionization pipeline — take prototypes that prove their value, re-architect them to production standards, document, monitor, and support them.
- Steward the AI tool governance framework: manage the tier classification model, registration pipeline, review SLAs, cost tracking, and quarterly reporting to leadership.
- Own and maintain the Slip Hub — the platform where the organization discovers, accesses, and consumes governed internal tools.
- Lead and grow a small team of developers and engineers, setting technical standards, reviewing work, and building a culture of speed and quality.
- Serve as the organizational point of contact for AI tool governance and internal tool delivery. Coordinate cross-functional reviews and stakeholder communication.
Requirements
- 5+ years of software development experience with a strong full-stack background (frontend, backend, APIs, database design).
- Demonstrated experience building internal tools, operational automations, or enterprise integrations in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong AI fluency — you actively use AI as a development accelerant (prompt engineering, LLM APIs, code assistants) and can set the standard for a team.
- Experience with governance, process design, or technical program management — you can build systems AND build the frameworks that keep them coherent.
- Familiarity with enterprise system landscapes (ERP, CRM, PLM) and the integration patterns that connect them.
- Experience with AWS, CI/CD pipelines, PostgreSQL, and production deployment workflows. Familiarity with DynamoDB or NoSQL databases a plus.
- Strong cross-functional communication — you translate technical capability into business value for non-technical stakeholders.
Bonus Points
- Experience with data platforms (Snowflake, dbt, or similar) and analytics tooling.
- Background in robotics, logistics, manufacturing, or hardware companies.
- Familiarity with SOC 2 or similar compliance frameworks.
- Experience building an internal tools function or engineering team from scratch.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity in an early-stage robotics company
- Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, and vision
- Permissive time off policy
