Cota Robotics reviews · checked 29 Oct 2026
Is Cota Robotics a good place to work?
Mostly. Cota Robotics is a real, newly funded Stockholm startup registered as an employer, but it is under a year old, publishes no pay, offers mainly part-time night work, and we found no worker review of it. It is a pre-seed startup with 10 to 19 staff whose robot was in two stores in August 2026, so hours depend on it winning more retailers; nights are promised a higher rate than days, but no rate is stated anywhere.

Actively listing 2 open roles todayCota Robotics AB (org. no. 559557-8419) was registered in Stockholm on December 1, 2025, led by CEO Teo Rizvanovic with co-founder Kildo Alias; both earlier co-founded the drone startup Aerit. In August 2026 it announced a €1.92 million pre-seed led by byFounders. It rents robots to retailers by the hour, mostly for overnight restocking, and Breakit reported its robot in use in two stores. The registry lists 10 to 19 staff.
The Teleoperator (Nights) post is part-time and on-site in Cota's Stockholm control room, with nights as the standard schedule and a path to full-time for strong performers. It says nights pay above the day rate but names no figure, and no post states pay or benefits. You must already have the right to work in Sweden.

2 open roles on Cota Robotics, independently checked 28 Oct 2026.
On-site in Stockholm, Sweden. Existing Swedish work authorization required; the employer does not offer visa sponsorship.
What people praise
- Night operators are promised more than the day rate, and the part-time schedule is pitched to fit around studies or another job.
- Early hires get a say and a way up: the post offers a clear path to full-time for strong performers and asks first operators to help shape how robot operations run.
- Cota is hiring its first teleoperations Shift Lead to run the control room, train new operators and support any operator "having a hard night", a lead role within the team.
What people complain about
- No pay is published: the teleoperator, shift lead and operations posts state no wage, and the board shows no pay range, so ask for the hourly and night rates in writing.
- Nights are the job: the post makes night availability a requirement because it is the standard schedule, since the robots mostly work in stores overnight.
- There is no visa sponsorship: the teleoperator post requires that you already have the right to work in Sweden.
- Cota was registered on December 1, 2025, so it has no track record as an employer yet: we found no worker review, and its posts and the press are the only evidence.
What has gone wrong
- August 2026. Cota announced a €1.92 million pre-seed led by byFounders, with Rethink Ventures and Icebreaker.vc. Swedish Tech News reported the founders had narrowed an earlier goal of humanoid robot workers to retail first; Breakit reported more than 20 million kronor raised and the robot in use in two stores.
Best for: Students or people with a day job who already have the right to work in Sweden, live near Stockholm, pick up software fast and want part-time night work driving store robots at an early startup. Not for: Anyone who needs a visa, daytime hours, a stated wage before applying, or the security of an established employer: the company is under a year old and runs on pre-seed money.
Honest catches
- Pay here is stated by the employer, not measured live from a job feed, so treat it as a benchmark rather than a guaranteed rate.
