Job description

Backend Software Engineer role at Matic Robots

Company Overview

Each year, 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic, we’re on a mission to recapture that lost time, and we’re doing it by revolutionizing home robotics. Our first product, also called Matic, is a Wall‑E‑esque floor cleaning robot. We've built what amounts to “full self‑driving in the home” with real‑time 3D mapping, adaptive path‑tracking, and a precise semantic understanding of the home. Our breakthroughs in spatial AI allow Matic to work reliably in real homes, using only RGB cameras and neural networks running on‑device.

Privacy First – What happens in the home, stays in the home. Our robots are private by design, with all data processing performed by the robot itself, not in the cloud.

Our Approach – Before the iPhone, consumers adopted several distinct devices… We believe in a similar progression for home robotics, starting with single‑purpose robots and building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time.

Our Culture – Matic is a tight‑knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We’re ultra‑hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save precious time and energy.

About The Role

We’re looking for a meticulous Backend Software Engineer to join us, with runway for huge and immediate impact. You would be working on internal tools with the rest of software, mechanical and electrical engineers.

What You’ll Do

Build and scale internal tools that support and streamline our production facilities
Develop robust systems in Rust to improve manufacturing efficiency and reliability
Collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Production teams to bring tooling needs to life
Recognize opportunities to create tools and improve infrastructure for better cross‑team efficiency
Be an integral member of our small software team

What We Look For

2–5 years’ experience in backend software development
Proficiency in Rust, or a strong systems programming background with eagerness to work primarily in Rust
Experience building internal tooling or production support systems
Ability to work cross‑functionally with hardware engineers and production teams
Comfort with a fast‑paced, startup atmosphere – you don’t shy away from the hard work
High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work

We’d love to hear from you if...

You are genuinely motivated to help those around you
You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones
You love diagnosing complex technical issues
You are excited about taking ownership on a wide range of systems and driving projects from concept through shipping
