Job description

The Bot Company

We're building a helpful robot for every home.

We're a small team of engineers, designers, and operators based in San Francisco. Our team comes from Tesla, Cruise, OpenAI, Google, Pixar, and many other great companies. In the past we've shipped to hundreds of millions of users and know what it takes to build amazing products and experiences.

Our team is deliberately lean to promote rapid decision making and do away with bureaucracy and hierarchy. Everyone is an IC and is empowered with massive scope, radical ownership, and direct responsibility. We work across the stack with a culture built for rapid iteration and fast execution.

What We Look For In All Candidates

All roles at The Bot Company demand extreme sharpness and the ability to move fast in high-intensity environments. Throughout the process, we expect candidates to demonstrate:

  • Exceptional mental acuity: you think quickly, learn instantly, and reason across unfamiliar domains.

  • Engineering curiosity: you naturally dig into how systems work, even outside your specialty.

  • High performance mindset: you move fast, handle ambiguity, and excel when the environment is demanding.

System Software

You'll build the core system software that connects hardware, firmware, and higher-level applications across our robotics platform. This role is for someone who understands systems end-to-end, writes high-performance low-level code, and can reason about reliability, performance, and correctness across complex, real-world systems.

Requirements

  • Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python, with experience writing production-quality system software at large scale. Knowing Rust is a plus.

  • Experience working close to the OS and hardware: Linux internals, drivers, system services, IPC, and resource management.

  • Ability to design and debug concurrent, real-time, or performance-critical systems.

  • Experience building and operating software that interfaces directly with firmware, sensors, or embedded devices.

  • Strong systems intuition, you understand failure modes, timing issues, and how software behaves under load.

What You'll Do

  • Build and maintain system-level software that interfaces between hardware, firmware, and application layers.

  • Design robust abstractions for device control, data flow, and inter-process communication.

  • Debug complex system issues spanning kernel, drivers, services, and hardware interactions.

  • Optimize system performance, latency, and reliability across the full software stack.

  • Collaborate closely with firmware, embedded OS, and application teams to integrate system software cleanly.

  • Move quickly and independently to ship production-ready system software that runs on real robots.

Why Join

You'll work with a small, elite team on challenges that require speed, intelligence, and deep engineering instinct. If you enjoy understanding systems at all levels, move fast, and think even faster, you'll thrive here.
