Full Job Description
We are seeking a Platform-focused Software Engineer to join our team. You will bridge the gap between software development and fleet orchestration, building the infrastructure that powers our robots, both locally and in the cloud. This role requires a unique blend of developer skills and platform operations experience to build the tools, automation, and observability systems that ensure our robotic deployments are scalable, secure, and reliable. If you are passionate about solving complex, real-world robotics problems and eager to shape the future of manufacturing, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do

Tech you will use:
  • Languages: Python, Terraform HCL, Node.js, Ansible
  • Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform.

  • Identity & Access: Support the migration and management of enterprise-level AuthN and AuthZ for internal and external applications.
  • Observability: Implement and enhance robotics observability tooling (e.g., Foxglove) to improve robot-to-cloud integration and monitoring.
  • Incident Management: Develop automated incident reporting and escalation tooling to proactively identify and resolve production issues.
  • Collaboration: Work alongside product engineers to ensure the platform meets the needs of both the robotic fleet and the applications that interface with it.

Who You Are
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience). 2+ years of experience in production support, development, and DevOps practices.
  • The Hybrid Engineer: You understand the interdependent relationship between product features and the underlying infrastructure. You apply software development best practices (reusable code, automated testing) to platform engineering.
  • Infrastructure Pro: You are proficient in managing cloud environments (AWS) and understand the complexities of multi-account deployments.
  • Robotics Enthusiast: You are excited by the challenge of moving data between robots and the cloud. You have hands-on experience or a strong interest in tools for remote robotics tooling (e.g., Foxglove, Rerun).
  • Security-Minded: You have experience with Enterprise AuthN/AuthZ and understand the importance of secure identity management at scale.
  • Problem Solver: You thrive on troubleshooting complex, distributed issues and are committed to automating your way out of manual tasks.
