About the role
- What else you need to know This role is based in our San Francisco office location.
- As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential.
- That's why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.
Responsibilities
- Test Platform & Infrastructure - Design and build the core test infrastructure: harnesses, fixtures, runners, orchestration, and test artifact management for our ZMQ/Cap'n Proto middleware stack
- CI/CD for Robotics - Build and maintain the testing pipeline that gates code changes - unit, integration, simulation, and replay-based regression - and integrate it cleanly into the developer workflow
- Log Replay & Recorded Scenario Testing - Build infrastructure that converts production logs into reproducible test cases the QA Engineer can curate and the dev team can run
- Experience designing and building automation pipelines (CI/CD, test orchestration, build systems)
- Comfort building greenfield - much of what you'll work on does not exist today
- While much of the industry remains in R&D, we deliver real, production-ready autonomy that is already operating in the field.
- Build technology that directly improves safety, efficiency, and productivity.
- Collaborate closely with experienced engineers and industry operators.

- Familiarity with pub/sub messaging systems (ZMQ, ROS, DDS) and binary serialization formats (Cap'n Proto, Protobuf)
- C++ familiarity - enough to read and integrate against the autonomy stack
- Cloud infrastructure experience for parallel test execution (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes)
- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing or real-time systems
- Performance engineering background - you've debugged and optimized slow CI/test pipelines before
