About the Role

Join the software platform team at a seed-stage robotics AI startup as its hands-on architecture leader. You will own the architecture of a SaaS platform for connecting and managing general‑purpose robots across a fleet, spanning edge devices, cloud services, frontend applications, and AI capabilities. You will help set the technical foundation as the engineering team grows.

What You’ll Do

• Design and own the end‑to‑end platform architecture, including robot connectivity, fleet management, data pipelines, and model training workflows.

• Set technical direction across frontend, backend, robot‑side software, and infrastructure, making key decisions as the platform scales.

• Write and review production code, especially while establishing foundational abstractions and architecture.

• Integrate AI agents and related capabilities safely, with appropriate guardrails for systems that control physical robots.

• Lead and grow the software platform team, and establish engineering standards and architecture review processes.

What We’re Looking For

• At least 8 years of experience in platform architecture, with ownership of system design across distributed backends and frontend systems.

• Staff or Principal‑level experience architecting platforms for hardware, IoT, connected devices, robotics, or fleet management.

• Experience designing systems across edge, cloud, and frontend, including distributed services and real‑time device communication.

• Hands‑on coding experience, with regular contributions to production code and architecture ownership across multiple teams.

• Familiarity with technologies and concepts such as WebSockets, gRPC, pub/sub, APIs, data pipelines, OTA updates, and AI agent systems.

• A degree in computer science or a related technical field, comfort using AI tools in software development, and startup or early‑stage leadership experience are valuable.
