• Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment workflows for the software we ship.
• Write integration and end-to-end tests to ensure our software behaves correctly on real hardware.
• Collaborate closely with the Physical AI R&D team to productize new research, and support the commissioning team that consumes our software in customer deployments.

• Minimum of 5 years of professional software development experience.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Python.
• Experience building web applications and UIs with React, and server-side applications with Node.js.

• Experience working with robotics, hardware, cameras, or vision systems.
• Familiarity with foundational computer vision models and how to deploy them in production.
• Experience with firmware services, IoT, or embedded software.
• Experience designing and publishing SDKs or developer tools consumed by other engineering teams.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment of software to physical devices.

What We Offer

• Career pathing: Real opportunities to grow through personalized development plans, bi-annual employee reviews, and mentorship program
