Hi HN — I’m Nicole, cofounder of Gambit Robotics (with Eliot Horowitz, cofounder/CTO of MongoDB).

We’re hiring a Founding Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join us in our NYC office.

Gambit is building an AI kitchen assistant that mounts under a range hood and uses computer vision and thermal sensing to understand what’s happening in a pan and guide cooking in real time.

We’re looking for an experienced engineer who enjoys owning systems end-to-end and working across backend, product, and infrastructure in a small team. You’ll be working directly with the founders building software that interacts with sensors, hardware, and AI models in real kitchens.

Hi! I’m Nicole (ex-Google AI), cofounder of Gambit Robotics with Eliot Horowitz (cofounder/CTO MongoDB).

We’re hiring for two founding engineering roles to work directly with us in our NYC office (in-person only):

1) Founding Principal / Staff Full-Stack Engineer - 8+ years experience shipping production systems - Strong backend and systems foundation - Experience owning architecture end-to-end (zero → production). Hardware experience a plus but not necessary.

2) Founding Full-Stack Engineer - 4–6 years experience building and shipping production products - Strong product sense and ownership - Comfortable working across backend, client, and infrastructure

Gambit is an AI-powered kitchen assistant that mounts magnetically under most range hoods or microwaves. It uses computer vision, thermal imaging, and on-device AI to understand what’s happening in the pan in real time, and handles the hardest parts of cooking — heat, timing, and doneness — so people get better results with less stress.

We’re moving quickly from prototype to product and launched on Kickstarter earlier this month: https://www.Kickstarter.com/projects/1613494570/gambit-robot...

We are a seed-stage startup with high autonomy, real impact, and a very intense (and fun) next phase.

If you or someone you know might be a fit, email me: nicole@gambitrobotics.com

You:

- 7–10 years of experience

- Strong ownership and product sense

- Thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments

- Experience with IoT / hardware is a plus

We’re moving quickly from prototype to product and launching at CES with a Kickstarter in January. It’s a seed-stage startup with high autonomy, real impact, and a very intense (and fun) next few months.

With AI and design largely commoditized, this essay explores why I believe hardware — and specifically physical AI — is becoming the next great moat in tech.

It dives into what happens when everyone has access to the same models, and why real-world deployment becomes the true differentiator.

Would love feedback from others building in robotics, AI, or edge systems.
