## About the role

Build software that works in the field. Networks drop, sensors disconnect, and there is no one to escalate to at 6am on a customer site. You will design for that. Own the seams between systems. Our field software coordinates multiple services and talks to robots we build and robots we do not. Much of the work is making those boundaries reliable.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- 5+ years building production software
- Strong Python
- Comfortable in a modern JavaScript front-end framework. We use Svelte for field software and React elsewhere, we care that you are strong in one, not which one
- Experience with real-time or streaming data, meaning systems where information arrives continuously and timing matters
- Experience integrating with hardware, robots, or third-party systems you do not control
