Big, hard problems are our everyday work, and our team of intelligent, humble, and driven people make the impossible possible together.

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.

Tech you will use:

• Languages: Python, Terraform HCL, Node.js, Ansible
• Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform.
• Fleet & Robotics: OTA (Over-the-Air) software deployment systems, Observability tooling (e.g., Foxglove),
