About the role

We're focused on an ambitious goal to make generalized robots broadly accessible, enabling households to take back quality time.
As a System Software Engineer, you'll focus on the runtime itself which encompasses the IPC layer, performance, scheduling, observability, logging and replay infrastructure that the rest of the robot software depends on.

IPC: Build the messaging substrate for high-throughput sensor data, messaging and low-latency event flow between processes
Data logging & dynamic trigger infrastructure: Develop a high-throughput logging system and (in the future) trigger-based capture for targeted debugging in the field
CPU performance tuning & code optimization: Profile, identify bottlenecks, and drive down latency across the stack
Scheduling and monitoring: Design how work gets dispatched, prioritized, and monitored on the robot
Observability & tracing: Build tracing, profiling, and runtime introspection so engineers across the company can understand what the robot is doing and why

If you are ready to apply your skills to the forefront of robotics innovation, we'd love to hear from you.
2+ years of experience developing systems software for high-performance, low-latency, or pseudo-realtime environments (robotics, autonomous vehicles, HFT, or similar)
Strong proficiency in a systems language such as C++, C, or Rust
Hands-on experience with CPU performance optimization

Experience writing systems software for AV, Robotics or other physical systems
Experience with build systems and OTA updates
Even if you don't meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply.
Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria - we don't want that to be the reason we miss out on great talent.
