The all-in-one, most intuitive, most affordable industrial robots. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
We are looking for an exceptional Staff Software Engineer to work on site with one of our largest customers. That customer is an AI robotics company that drives our arms from its own models through our streaming APIs and SDK. You join our SDK and external APIs team and build on our platform. For the first nine to twelve months, you spend most of your week at the customer's facility in the San Francisco Bay Area.
What they're looking for
- Debugging Depth: You root-cause across a distributed system: Linux, containers, networking, logs, and timing, often on hardware you did not build and with incomplete information
- Customer Judgment: You have worked directly with demanding technical customers. You know how to decline a request and offer the roadmap path instead, and you handle sensitive product information with care
- Clarity of Communication: You write requirements, incident write-ups, and decisions that a customer's ML engineer and our leadership can both act on
- Tech Stack Expertise: Fluency in Python and TypeScript/Node.js, with range across the rest of our stack (React, C++, Kubernetes). Working knowledge of ROS 2 is preferred
- Robotics and Realtime Control is a plus: Hands-on experience with robot control interfaces such as ROS 2, streaming or trajectory APIs, or motion control at 100 Hz and above. Familiarity with safety stops and collision handling is a plus

Your impact will be measured not just by fixing their problem but building production level fixes that make it into our product. It will also be measured by how much of what you learn on site shapes the platform for all developers who build on our APIs.
