Senior Backend Engineer, Robotic Fleet Orchestration

Mytra; United States; Remote; USD 170,000 - 200,000; Full time

Job summary

Mytra is seeking a Senior Backend Software Engineer to join the Robot Fleet Orchestration team. You will design and implement backend services that coordinate a live fleet of bots, manage tasks, and ensure safe, efficient operations in a warehouse environment.

You’ll work cross-functionally with software, robotics, product, and customer teams, tackle planning and scheduling challenges, and build observable systems to improve performance over time.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of production software engineering experience.
• Experience solving search, routing, scheduling, planning, or optimization problems.
• Familiarity with multi-agent path finding, vehicle routing, constraint solving, graph search, or similar.
• Experience designing and maintaining production data models or schemas.
• Hands-on experience with relational databases, especially SQL or Postgres.
• Experience designing, building, and supporting APIs used by other services, systems, or teams.

Responsibilities

• Build backend software that coordinates a live fleet of bots, including planning collision-free and time-feasible routes across a shared operating space.
• Develop systems for assigning tasks to bots based on fleet state, task dependencies, timing constraints, and operational priorities.
• Implement planning logic for storage and retrieval workflows, including where payloads should be stored and what moves are required to access blocked or buried payloads.
• Support continuous replanning as work is added, canceled, reprioritized, or disrupted, while helping keep the fleet operating efficiently.
• Maintain accurate system state across Mytra’s digital model and the physical warehouse environment.
• Build recovery workflows for situations where the physical system and software state diverge, including blocked areas, maintenance zones, network drops, spills, or other unexpected events.
• Improve observability into planning cycles, task execution, and system behavior so engineers can debug issues and improve performance over time.
• Design and maintain backend services, APIs, and data models that support orchestration, planning, task execution, and fleet operations.
• Integrate customer warehouse workflows and WMS data into Mytra’s system to support efficient deployment and operation of the platform.
• Collaborate with software, robotics, product, and customer-facing teams to deliver reliable orchestration capabilities in production.
