What we needWe are looking for Software Engineers to join our Platform Services team who will build and improve systems that are critical to the performance of the Symbotic platform.
Our team orchestrates vertical lift cells, which control how packages move between robots and input/output stations. The systems you work on will operate in real time and directly impact throughput, efficiency, and reliability in production environments. We want you to apply if you succeed in ambiguity and can identify problems and their corresponding solutions. We are looking for:
- Strong problem-solvers who enjoy understanding how complex systems behave
- Curious and proactive engineers who yearn to learn and improve things around them
- Curious people to work on systems where software interacts with the physical world
You'll work alongside experienced engineers while taking on meaningful ownership.
What we doWe are the Platform Services team responsible for orchestrating vertical lift cells, a critical control point in how packages move through the system.
We build services that coordinate lift behavior in real time, focusing on efficiency and performance. This includes solving optimization problems around movement and flow, where incremental improvements have measurable system impact. We also develop shared platform services used by multiple teams, working at the intersection of distributed systems and physical automation.
What you'll do- Contribute to building and maintaining core services for lift orchestration and platform systems.
- Write production-quality code in C# / .NET (and related technologies).
- Help improve system performance, reliability, and observability.
- Work with senior engineers to debug and resolve production issues.
- Learn to reason about real-time system behavior and distributed interactions.
- Use data and metrics to understand and improve system performance.
- Contribute ideas and take ownership of features or improvements.
What you'll need- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related.
- 0-3 years of professional software engineering experience.
- Experience with hardware-adjacent systems (robotics, automation, etc.).
- Initiative to identify problems and create solutions.
- Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving.
- Experience in one or more programming languages (C#, Java, Python, etc.).
- Interest in systems programming, distributed systems, or real-world applications.
- Willingness to learn and grow in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
Our environment- Up to 10% of travel may be required. Employees must have a valid driver's license and the ability to drive and/or fly to client and other customer locations.
- The employee is responsible for owning a credit card and managing expenses personally to be reimbursed on a bi-weekly basis.
