## 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
