Boost Robotics combines digital infrastructure with physical agents to revolutionize robotics solutions. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We’re not hiring for a checklist - we’re hiring for exceptional people. If you move fast, think deeply, and love building things that actually work, you’ll fit right in. We’re friends and builders who hold the highest standards for ourselves and our work. Joining us means having a say in everything - the culture, the rituals, the engineering stack, and what our robots look like. You won’t just work here - you’ll help create what “here” means.
What they're looking for
- Background in Robotics, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering
- Experience deploying robots in high-reliability environments (AVs, drones, or industrial systems)
- Familiarity with containerization, DevOps, or edge/cloud infrastructure
- Exceptional skills in C++ and Python, including performance optimization
- Strong systems-level thinking and comfort working with uncertainty or shifting priorities
- Experience with some or all of the following robotics topics: Working with robotics sensors (Lidars, RGBD cameras, IMUs, etc.)
More about this role
Boost Robotics is developing the next generation of autonomous systems that monitor and maintain the world’s digital infrastructure. Backed by Y Combinator , our team consists of former CMU Robotics and Boston Dynamics engineers who have worked on robot systems in defense, agriculture, logistics, and industrial inspection.
The mission? Bring dependable, intelligent robotics to some of the most important and fastest-growing infrastructures powering the world’s digital backbone - data centers.
