Dover; Paris; Hybrid; EUR 65,000 - 95,000; Full time

Job summary

UMA is seeking an experienced Software Engineer to lead the development of our fleet management platform, which handles deployments, operations, and observability across robots.

You will own deployment pipelines, remote operations, and the central APIs for operators, with an emphasis on reliability, security, and scalability.

This role sits at the crossroads of software, hardware, and on-site operators, offering high ownership and impact as we scale our robot fleet.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience building production-grade systems.
• Solid Linux systems fundamentals, networking, and device identity on networks you do not control
• Strong Python and clean API design (REST, gRPC, WebSockets)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, or release infrastructure that teams rely on daily
• Experience instrumenting distributed or edge systems with metrics, logs, dashboards, and actionable alerts (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana)

Responsibilities

• Own how our software is deployed from source to physical robots, in development, production and rollbacks
• Build remote operation controls and job dispatching workflows on units — launching policy evaluations, calibrations, data recording, or teleoperation sessions
• Design configuration and calibration management to ensure machine-specific states, sensor calibrations, and hardware parameters are versioned
• Expose real-time telemetry and fleet observability with proactive alerting when unit performance drops or components fail
• Develop the central management interface and underlying APIs for operators with secure access control and auditability
