About the role

A significant portion of this role involves working with AI coding agents.
You'll direct autonomous agents to diagnose CI failures, triage production issues, run automated security and compliance checks, and execute multi-step engineering tasks.

Own robot-side software (Python): Maintain the on-robot codebase that orchestrates arms, cameras, sensors, and I/O. Debug production hardware/software failures and ship fixes fast
Build and maintain infrastructure as code: Manage cloud infrastructure - identity and access management, CI/CD credentials, secrets, container registries, cluster autoscaling - using declarative configuration and reproducible builds
Drive build system and packaging migrations: Own the transition of robot software packaging to reproducible, hermetic build systems. Maintain machine images, dev environments, and deployment pipelines
Build simulation and testing infrastructure: Develop end-to-end simulation systems that validate robot behavior without physical hardware - camera projection, kinematics, placement validation, fleet-wide calibration
Develop and operate AI-powered engineering automation: Build autonomous agents that run nightly CI triage, security audits, infrastructure compliance checks, and code quality sweeps.
Design the interfaces and instructions that make agents effective at real engineering work
CI/CD ownership: You've not just used CI - you've owned it. Runner infrastructure, flaky test triage, build caching, GPU-enabled pipelines
Build alerting that catches problems before humans notice them

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
Experience with real hardware: Robot arms, depth cameras, grippers, force/torque sensors, pneumatics, or similar
Strong debugging instincts: You can go from a vague production symptom to root cause across hardware, OS, network, and application layers

Robotics simulation (kinematics, camera models, physics)
gRPC / Protocol Buffers
Managed network infrastructure, VPNs, overlay networks
Time-series databases and observability stacks
About the Work Style
This is a high-autonomy, high-output role.
You'll write a lot of code, but you'll also write a lot of prompts - and the best candidates will see those as the same skill.
About Our Roles & Titles

Touch frontend, backend, protobuf definitions, deployment tooling, and cloud services as needed.
Declarative infrastructure and configuration management tools.
You've managed IAM, CI runners, secrets, and machine images programmatically
You understand their failure modes and know when to trust vs. verify

Improve observability and health monitoring: Instrument robot software with metrics and structured telemetry.

Systems, Infrastructure & Reliability
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.
Work across the stack: Touch frontend, backend, protobuf definitions, deployment tooling, and cloud services as needed. No part of the system is someone else's problem
