About the role

About the Role

Lead the end-to-end architecture for a robotics SaaS platform that connects and operates physical robots across a fleet. This hands-on leadership role sets the technical foundation across software and infrastructure while growing the platform engineering team.

What You'll Do

  • Design the platform architecture spanning robot connectivity, fleet management, AI capabilities, data pipelines, and model training workflows.
  • Set technical direction across frontend, backend, robot-side software, and infrastructure as the platform scales.
  • Write and review production code, especially for foundational architecture and abstractions.
  • Integrate AI agents and learning capabilities safely, with appropriate guardrails for physical robots.
  • Grow and lead the software platform team, and establish engineering standards and architecture review practices.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 8 years of experience in full-stack platform architecture and distributed system design.
  • Staff- or Principal-level experience owning architecture across multiple teams, ideally for hardware, IoT, connected-device, or fleet-management systems.
  • Experience designing SaaS platforms that manage or control physical devices at scale, including edge-to-cloud systems.
  • Recent hands-on coding experience and the ability to explain end-to-end architecture across frontend, cloud, and edge components.
  • Strong experience with distributed systems, IoT connectivity, real-time communication, APIs, frontend architecture, data pipelines, and AI or agentic systems.
  • A CS or related technical degree, familiarity with AI agents, and an interest in using modern AI tools in engineering workflows.
  • Startup or early-stage leadership experience is valuable.
