Software Engineer

Software Engineer

We can’t do it alone. We’re seeking a curious, capable, and passionate Software Engineer to join our mission of reshaping the future of grocery through cutting-edge robotics. If you’re motivated by the opportunity to build impactful systems that bridge real-world operations with data and intelligent automation, you’ll thrive here.

In this role, you’ll start by owning the full stack of data infrastructure—designing, building, and maintaining the data pipelines that power both internal visibility and external reporting. Your work will provide critical insights into the performance of our automated robotic grocery fulfillment facility, enabling better decision-making across the company and for our partners.

As you grow into the role, you’ll contribute directly to the development and optimization of our high-impact planner algorithms—the brains behind our robotic orchestration—improving system throughput, efficiency, and robustness. You’ll work closely with teammates across robotics, software, systems, and operations to build scalable, reliable systems that push the boundaries of what’s possible in real-time logistics.

What You’ll Do

• Design and own systems for data collection, synchronization, modeling, and analytics across our robotic fulfillment platform.

• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and external partners to define and deliver reliable, accurate data products.

• Contribute to the development and optimization of our task and motion planning algorithms.

• Work hands-on to test and deploy your software on physical robotic systems in a fast-paced environment.

• Help shape best practices around system architecture, data infrastructure, and performance optimization.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

• 3–5 years of professional experience designing software systems, with strong foundations in software architecture, object-oriented design, and algorithm development.

• Proficiency with data systems and databases (e.g., MongoDB, MySQL) and experience in modeling and managing structured data.

• Strong grasp of data structures, complexity analysis, and performance tuning.

• Experience with C, C++, or C#, including multi-threaded applications.

• Familiarity with version control, unit testing, and working in large codebases.

• Interest in robotics and physical systems—no hardware experience required, but enthusiasm and willingness to work with robots in the loop is a must.

• Self-starter who thrives in a collaborative, startup-paced environment.

Bonus Points

• Experience with .NET Framework, C#, and Visual Studio.

• Exposure to robotics planning concepts (e.g., HFSM, Behavior Trees, motion planning).

• Experience building microservices (e.g., with gRPC) and working with communication protocols like TCP/IP, HTTP, REST.

• A mission-driven mindset and a passion for solving real-world problems with lasting impact.

• Not afraid of robots.

What You Get

• A chance to be an early team member and technical leader in a high-growth robotics startup.

• An opportunity to work on meaningful problems with a world-class, interdisciplinary team.

• A balanced, collaborative hybrid work environment in the Bay Area.

• Competitive compensation: $120,000–$180,000 salary + equity + benefits.

• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, 401(k), life, and disability coverage.

• Unlimited PTO with a culture that encourages real rest and recharge.
