One platform for the entire robotics lifecycle. Multi-language SDKs, hardware abstracted into simple APIs, and fleet management from first prototype to global scale. Backed by USV.
About the role
As a Senior or Staff Engineer, you’ll help raise the engineering bar through architecture discussions, mentorship, and guidance on complex projects. We’re looking for an experienced engineer who enjoys owning systems end-to-end and shipping production software.
What they're looking for
- building production systems in distributed or cloud environments
- designing APIs and backend services that operate reliably at scale
- debugging complex distributed systems or production services
- working across teams to improve shared platform capabilities, developer tooling, or user-facing systems
- making sound technical tradeoffs as systems and architecture evolve
More about this role
Founded by Eliot Horowitz, co-founder and former CTO of MongoDB, Viam is a novel robotics engineering platform that lets you configure, control, and manage robots intuitively and quickly. We’re inspiring a generation of engineers to solve complicated automation problems with our uniquely powerful suite of software tools.
We’re a ~100-person company headquartered in New York City.
Building software for machines introduces challenges that traditional software systems rarely face. Devices operate in real-world environments, networks are unreliable, and software must interact with hardware, sensors, and real-time data.
At Viam, engineers build the platform and tools that make those machines programmable, observable, and manageable at scale.
New York City (Hybrid — 3+ days per week in office)
The Fleet Management team builds the control plane for machines running on Viam — the cloud systems and web applications that allow developers to configure devices, deploy software across fleets, and operate machines at scale.
The team owns the lifecycle of machine configuration and software running on those devices, along with the platform infrastructure that supports it — including...
