## About the role

As a Senior Software Engineer in Behavior & Interaction , you will own the software systems that turn raw autonomy into finished missions. You operationalize that autonomy into repeatable, user-facing missions, design how humans task and collaborate with our robots, and deliver the insights our customers actually act on. You will architect and ship the behavior orchestration, robot interaction, and mission-to-insight pipelines that operate in some of the world's challenging industrial environments.

## What they're looking for

- Expert-level Python and C++, writing clean, efficient, maintainable code using modern best practices
- Deep, hands-on experience with ROS2, designing, building, and deploying custom nodes and complex systems into production robots
- Proven experience building behavior orchestration systems (behavior trees, state machines, task/mission planning and execution)
- Experience building human-in-the-loop or operator-facing systems: HRI, teleoperation, supervisory control, dashboards, or tasking and monitoring tools
- Strong system design skills across APIs, inter-process communication (IPC), middleware, networking, and real-time data pipelines
- A track record of shipping to production and iterating from real-world use, including turning field data into product improvements
