Job Summary:
Bot Auto is revolutionizing the transportation of goods with cutting-edge autonomous trucks. They are seeking a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer to build systems and interfaces for their Autonomous Traffic Control platform, connecting their fleet with real-time data and human assistance.
Responsibilities:
• Design and build full-stack features for Autonomous Traffic Control (ATC), enabling controllers to review vehicle state reports and issue Traffic Advice (reroute, wait, retry, dispatch, escalate) in real time.
• Develop responsive, data-rich web interfaces using modern frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind), with strong attention to UX, real-time data, and operational reliability.
• Build the backend services, APIs, and event-driven/streaming integrations that power ATC and connect it to the autonomous fleet and external live feeds (weather, DOT/traffic, operator inputs).
• Contribute to operations and visualization tools across internal developer & operation platforms and the driver-facing on-vehicle application.
• Visualize fleet state, geospatial data (maps, polygons, routes), and telemetry to give operators clear, actionable situational awareness.
• Partner with product, autonomy, and operations teams to translate operational workflows (SOPs) into intuitive, dependable software.
• Own features end to end — from design and implementation through testing, deployment, and operation in production.
• Uphold engineering best practices with clean, maintainable, well-tested code and thoughtful API and component design.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of full-stack software engineering experience, with demonstrated frontend domain expertise
• Strong proficiency with modern frontend frameworks and tooling (React, TypeScript, and a build system such as Vite; CSS frameworks such as Tailwind)
• Solid backend skills in one or more of Python, Go, Java, or Node.js, including building and consuming REST and streaming APIs
• Strong eye for UX, performance, and building reliable real-time interfaces
Preferred:
• Experience building real-time, operations-critical, or mission-control style applications (live dashboards, monitoring, command-and-control)
• Experience with geospatial/mapping visualization (e.g., Mapbox, deck.gl, Leaflet) and large-scale data visualization
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures and streaming (WebSockets, MQTT, NATS, Kafka)
• Experience with containerized deployment (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS)
• Interest in autonomous systems, robotics, or transportation
• Experience collaborating closely with operations teams and turning workflows into product
