  • Customer Collaboration – Embed deeply with customer teams to understand business goals, domain constraints, and technical requirements.
  • Design & Development – Architect and build end-to-end solutions with an experiment-driven, iterative approach (TypeScript/React, Node.js, Python, ROS, SQL).
  • Scoping & Planning – Draft clear scopes of work, timelines, and success metrics for proofs-of-concept through production roll-outs.
  • Hands-On Delivery – Code side-by-side with customer engineers, deploying on their cloud or on-prem environments to ensure successful adoption.
  • Cross-Functional Alignment – Partner closely with Sales and Customer Success on the same accounts to guarantee seamless experiences and measurable outcomes.
  • Product Feedback Loop – Relay frontline insights to Research, Product, and Engineering; your learnings shape our roadmap.

  • 3+ years of professional experience in Robotics or Autonomous systems.
  • Experience in customer-facing engineering roles, ideally with robotics or autonomy exposure.
  • Proven history of rapid prototyping and iterative delivery with external stakeholders.
  • Front-end strength in React/TypeScript and back-end experience in Node.js or Python; familiarity with C++ or ROS is a plus.
  • Solid grasp of network and cloud architecture (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and database-backed REST APIs.
  • Comfortable owning problems end-to-end, learning what’s missing, and communicating technical details to any audience.
  • Willingness to travel extensively and work on-site with customers when required.

Requirements

  • Experience with multiple database systems.
  • Experience designing SDKs, integration libraries, or internal tooling that reduced services cycle time.
  • Previous experience in the Autonomous Vehicle Industry.

Benefits

  • Work remotely when not onsite at customers.
  • $300 monthly remote budget to build your personal workspace.
  • All expenses paid company off-sites 2x/year.
