ABOUT TAILOS

Tailos is leading the way as a pioneer in revolutionizing commercial cleaning by leveraging the power of robotics and innovative automated solutions. This all starts with Rosie: an industrial housekeeping robot for commercial cleaning, which handles dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks. With rising market demand and Tailos's first-mover status, we have partnered with several of the largest hospitality & commercial cleaning companies. Beginning in Austin, we’ve expanded into markets across the US and Internationally. After launching successful deployments with multiple hospitality companies where dozens of our robots work alongside hotel staff, we are developing new features and enhancing our current software, which ranges from a customer-facing web application to state-of-the-art electronics. 

At Tailos, we understand the importance of work-life balance and offer a generous flexible paid time off (PTO) policy, empowering our employees to prioritize their well-being and personal commitments. Additionally, we observe 12 paid holidays each year, ensuring ample opportunities for rest and rejuvenation. We care about the well-being of our team members and offer comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance benefits. We go the extra mile with generous employer-paid contributions, ensuring that our employees can access quality healthcare and secure their future.
