Golang Job: Senior Software Engineer

iRobot: THE COMPANY BEHIND THE BRAND & THE PRODUCTS

Headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts iRobot designs and builds innovative robots that make a difference in people’s lives. The company was established in 1990 by three Massachusetts Institute of Technology alumni and began with a vision of robots beyond academia and industry involving practical applications that would change the world. The original business plan involving space exploration by robots was well underway when the company began to win government and industry contracts and focus shifted. iRobot further diversified in 1997 when the first home robotic vacuum cleaner known as iRobot Roomba was developed.

iRobot has since successfully created a “consumer” home robot category that is changing the way consumers clean. Since then, more than 30M robots have been shipped. Beyond Roomba, other consumer products include Braava (robotic floor mopping), Combo (2-in-1 vacuum and mopping robot) and Root (educational robot).

In November 2021, iRobot acquired Aeris Cleantec AG, a fast-growing provider of premium, smart air purifiers. Aeris’ work to perfect Swiss-engineered smart air purifiers will enable iRobot to exponentially increase the value we provide consumers and deliver an ecosystem of solutions that simply make life better.

Today, iRobot is a NASDAQ listed company (“IRBT”), +1300 employees and revenues FY20’ of $1.43B (+18%).

iRobot has a unique culture and it is something that very much defines the business and how it operates. It is important that anyone considering joining the organization can embrace its values which are best encapsulated through the company’s mission: Empower people to do more.
