## About the role

Destro AI is hiring its most senior engineering role to date — a Staff Software Engineer who will define how the company builds, ships, and scales software over the next several years. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years building software, with a substantial portion of it at robotics companies — AMR/AGV, warehouse automation, manipulation, autonomous vehicles, drones, or comparable fielded robotic systems
- You have shipped software that ran on real robots, in real customer environments, at real scale — not in a lab or a research group
- You have personally taken a system from pilot-grade to multi-site production, and can walk through what broke and how you fixed it
- You have consolidated fragmented services into a unified platform, on a live system, without stopping delivery
- You have introduced engineering process to a team that didn’t have any, and gotten people to actually adopt it
- Pragmatic about technical debt — you sequence fixes by risk, not by preference
