Job description

The Company
We believe general-purpose, generally-intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes. Robots will work in our factories, move our goods, walk on our streets and eventually be in our homes. To build that future, research and deployment must work in lockstep: real-world operation must make the technology better and better technology must make deployment easier. We're looking for the thinkers, builders, and researchers who want to be part of that loop.
As an AI robotics company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, on state-of-the-art hardware, every line of code written at Tutor has a direct impact on the global, physical economy.
Our Culture
We believe that something truly special can happen when talented, motivated people work together; at Tutor, every member of our team is empowered to have real impact in everything that they do. We're characterized by both technical excellence and next-level collaboration and respect.
The Role
As a Full Stack Software Engineer at Tutor Intelligence, you'll design, build, and deploy user interfaces and systems which push the frontier of what robots are capable of. As a contributor to our XR applications, you will write performant, GPU-enabled frontend interfaces for observing a robot's surroundings in real-time. You will also write scalable cloud infrastructure to command and orchestrate fleets of robots.
Responsibilities
  • Design and implement control interfaces for real-world robotics systems
  • Own projects end-to-end, from early concept and prototyping through production deployment
  • Work closely with Engineering, Operations, Product, and Leadership to define and ship solutions
  • Improve system reliability, scalability, and observability in production environments
  • Debug complex systems-level issues across hardware and software
  • Help shape technical direction, best practices, and team workflows as Tutor scales

Requirements
  • Strong foundations in Python and React
  • Experience operating in fast-moving, resource-constrained environments
  • Clear communicator who collaborates well across technical and non-technical teams
  • Strong sense of ownership and a bias toward shipping meaningful work
  • Genuine interest in robotics, AI, and solving hard real-world problems

Nice to Haves
  • Experience in computer graphics, realtime rendering, or XR applications
  • Experience in robotics
  • Prior startup experience, especially at early or growth-stage companies
  • Interest in technical leadership, mentorship, or project ownership

Compensation and Benefits
  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Fully employer-covered health and dental insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Regular in-office meals and team events
  • A collaborative, low-ego environment where people are trusted to do their best work

About Our Roles & Titles
At Tutor, we believe great engineers and researchers are defined by what they build and the impact they have - not where they sit in an org chart or what title they have. Therefore, everyone in our R&D org holds the title Member of Technical Staff (MoTS). Our job postings use standard titles so you can find us, but if you join Tutor, you'll be a MoTS - with a level that is determined through the interview process.
That also means we hire people, not slots. Work at Tutor evolves every quarter, and we set the expectation of flexibility from day one - it's common for people to start on one thing and shift to another based on where the team needs them most. A high technical bar across the board is what makes that flexibility possible: it's what allows people to contribute meaningfully whatever problem they take on.
$90,000 - $190,000 a year
Tutor offers competitive benefits including fully employer-covered health insurance, a managed 401(k), and regular in-office meals. We host social events and maintain a collaborative, low-ego work culture where people are trusted to take ownership and solve real problems. Tutor is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.
