* Design robot registration, identity, authentication, and access-control systems
* Build secure multi-tenant architecture that isolates each customer’s robots and data
* Develop remote deployment, configuration, software updates, and rollback systems
* Build logging, monitoring, alerting, and incident-recovery infrastructure
* Develop APIs and customer interfaces for commanding robots and viewing their status
* Build reliable pipelines for robot telemetry, video, logs, and operational data
* Work closely with robotics engineers to productionize teleoperation, autonomy, and data collection
* Define the architecture needed to scale from a few robots to thousands
**What we’re looking for**
* Deep experience building backend, distributed, cloud, or device-management systems
* Comfortable working across Linux, networking, APIs, databases, and deployment infrastructure
* Ability to design reliable systems that interact with real physical hardware
* Strong ownership and comfort working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment
**Nice to have**
* Experience with robotics, ROS 2, IoT, edge computing, or autonomous systems
* Experience with Kubernetes, containers, CI/CD, observability, or over-the-air updates
* Experience building secure multi-tenant SaaS or fleet-management platforms
* Familiarity with real-time video streaming and unreliable network environments
