Destro AI provides the shared intelligence layer for autonomous warehouse and factory operations, coordinating destro robots, people, and workflows to improve productivity, reduce costs, and deliver measurable ROI. Backed by Bonfire Ventures.
About the role
We're hiring a Robotics Forward Deployed Engineer, to own the software that runs MothershipOS in live customer warehouses. This role is responsible for writing and maintaining production code, not solely for troubleshooting it, and will serve as the engineering presence on-site when systems need to be brought up, stabilized, or restored to full function. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 2 to 6 years of experience in systems engineering, robotics software, backend engineering, infrastructure, or field engineering, with genuine software development experience rather than field support alone
- Comfortable being paged off-hours and traveling on short notice
- Able to operate independently in ambiguous, high-pressure environments without a fully specified solution
- Calm under pressure, direct with customers, and demonstrates strong ownership
- Strong Python or C++, with the ability to write maintainable, production-grade code
- Hands-on Docker/Docker Compose experience, including building, deploying, debugging, and versioning images
More about this role
Destro AI is building the intelligence layer for robotics — the system that coordinates robots, humans, and workflows across complex real-world operations. Founded by former leaders from HAI Robotics, Dexterity, and Matic, Destro is built on a simple thesis: robotics has solved movement, but not decision-making. Destro is backed by investors who have previously invested in and built companies like Brex, Figma, Notion, and Instacart.
Destro's MothershipOS is a shared brain across all robots, unlocking complex factory and warehouse workflows. Unlike traditional systems that rely on local intelligence on each robot, Destro brings global intelligence across the entire operation. Destro recently closed its Seed round at one of the highest valuations for a robotics company at this stage, and is already deploying in production with large enterprise operators.
