About Tutor Intelligence

Tutor builds generally capable robots and puts them to work. Delivered in days not years, from $14 an hour. Backed by AI Grant and USV.

About the role

We build robots that run 24/7 in production environments. We're looking for a hands-on engineer to own the reliability, infrastructure, and developer tooling that keeps our fleet running and our engineering team fast. You'll split your time between robot-side systems work, cloud infrastructure, and building automation that multiplies the team's output.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years of Python in a systems context — not web/ML Python, but the kind where you deal with processes, hardware I/O, async, and real-time constraints
  • Strong Linux systems knowledge: Memory management, device management, systemd, containers, networking, kernel tuning
  • Infrastructure as code experience: Declarative infrastructure and configuration management tools. You've managed IAM, CI runners, secrets, and machine images programmatically
  • Experience with real hardware: Robot arms, depth cameras, grippers, force/torque sensors, pneumatics, or similar
  • CI/CD ownership: You've not just used CI — you've owned it. Runner infrastructure, flaky test triage, build caching, GPU-enabled pipelines
  • Strong debugging instincts: You can go from a vague production symptom to root cause across hardware, OS, network, and application layers
More about this role

We believe general-purpose, generally-intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes. Robots will work in our factories, move our goods, walk on our streets and eventually be in our homes. To build that future, research and deployment must work in lockstep: real-world operation must make the technology better and better technology must make deployment easier. We're looking for the thinkers, builders, and researchers who want to be part of that loop.

As an AI robotics company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, on state-of-the-art hardware, every line of code written at Tutor has a direct impact on the global, physical economy.

We believe that something truly special can happen when talented, motivated people work together; at Tutor, every member of our team is empowered to have real impact in everything that they do. We’re characterized by both technical excellence and next-level collaboration and respect.
