About the role

About the Role

Lead end-to-end software architecture for a robotics platform that connects and operates fleets of physical devices. This hands-on leadership role sets technical direction across the platform and helps grow the software team.

What You'll Do

  • Design the platform architecture across robot connectivity, fleet management, AI capabilities, data pipelines, and model training workflows.
  • Set technical direction across frontend, backend, robot-side software, and infrastructure.
  • Write and review production code, particularly as foundational architecture and abstractions are established.
  • Integrate AI agents and learning from fleet data with safeguards appropriate for physical robots.
  • Grow and lead the software platform team, establishing engineering standards and architecture reviews.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 8 years of experience in full-stack platform architecture, with ownership of system design across distributed backends and frontend systems.
  • Experience architecting SaaS platforms that manage or control physical hardware at scale, such as IoT, connected-device, robotics, or fleet-management systems.
  • Staff or Principal-level experience owning architecture across multiple teams, with the ability to design systems spanning edge, cloud, and frontend.
  • Recent hands-on experience writing production code, along with strong distributed-systems skills.
  • Familiarity with technologies and concepts such as WebSockets, gRPC, pub/sub, real-time communication, APIs, data pipelines, edge-cloud architecture, and OTA updates.
  • A computer science or related technical degree, and familiarity with AI agent systems such as chatbots, tool use, or multi-step planning.
  • Startup or early-stage leadership experience is beneficial. Comfort using AI tools in day-to-day development is expected.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $250,000 to $400,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
