The Opportunity
Robots can perform increasingly complex tasks, but connecting robots from different manufacturers remains expensive, slow and highly customized.
This company is building a vendor-neutral software platform that allows robots, OEM fleet managers, sensors and facility systems to communicate and operate through one shared integration and orchestration layer.
As a Founding Software Engineer, you will own a critical technical foundation of the product: the software layer that connects different robotic systems to the broader platform. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to build from zero, work directly with physical robots and shape the architecture of an early-stage company.
What You’ll Work On
Design and build the core robot integration layer.
Create reusable interfaces across different robot manufacturers, APIs, SDKs and protocols.
Develop OEM-specific adapters without allowing the platform to become a collection of one-off drivers.
Normalize robot capabilities, commands, mission states, health data, failures and operator interventions.
Integrate sensors, payloads and facility systems with physical robots.
Support quadrupeds, mobile robots, AMRs, manipulators and other autonomous systems.
Build simulation, testing and validation workflows before physical deployment.
Debug problems across software, networking, sensors and hardware.
Collaborate directly with founders, customers, OEMs and integration partners.
Help define the technical architecture, engineering practices and future team.
What We’re Looking For
Approximately five or more years of professional robotics or autonomous-systems software experience.
Professional experience using ROS or ROS2; strong ROS1 experience is transferable.
Experience developing and deploying software on physical robotic systems.
Hands-on experience integrating robot hardware, sensors, payloads, APIs or SDKs.
Strong software engineering ability in languages such as C++, Python or similar.
Experience designing reusable software abstractions rather than exclusively building customer-specific integrations.
Ability to troubleshoot across software and hardware boundaries.
Experience taking systems from development through testing and real-world deployment.
Comfort working in an early-stage environment with changing priorities and limited structure.
Strong ownership, technical judgment and ability to make practical tradeoffs.
AI-Native Engineering
The team uses AI coding tools as a core part of its engineering workflow. Candidates should be able to:
Use AI tools to accelerate design, development, testing and debugging.
Understand and critically review AI-generated code.
Identify where AI is useful and where deeper engineering judgment is required.
Validate generated code before deploying it to physical systems.
Clearly explain their approach to testing, safety and reliability.
Especially Valuable Experience
Integrating robots from multiple manufacturers.
Multi-robot or cross-fleet orchestration.
Robot capability models and common control interfaces.
OEM fleet managers and robot operations platforms.
DDS and distributed robotic systems.
NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac ROS, Omniverse or Gazebo.
AMRs, quadrupeds, drones, industrial robots or mobile manipulators.
Mission assignment, status tracking, exception handling and audit logging.
Early-stage startup, founding-engineer or zero-to-one product experience.
Customer deployments in industrial or brownfield environments.
What Success Looks Like
New robot manufacturers can be added through adapters without changing the orchestration or user-facing layer.
Different robots can receive consistent high-level commands through a shared platform interface.
Robot capabilities, states, failures and interventions are represented consistently.
Early customer integrations become reusable platform capabilities rather than one-off engineering projects.
The system remains reliable when hardware fails, communications are interrupted or operators must intervene.
Why Join
Join as one of the earliest engineers and influence the product from the foundation upward.
Work directly with real robots rather than only simulated or theoretical systems.
Define the architecture of a platform addressing one of robotics’ largest interoperability problems.
Collaborate with an experienced founding team with backgrounds from leading technology companies.
Join a well-funded company with more than two years of runway.
Receive meaningful equity and substantial ownership over the technical direction.
Work in an environment where strong individual interests can shape future areas of ownership.
Work Authorization
Candidates must have valid authorization to work in the United States.
Qualifying H-1B transfers may be considered when sufficient time remains on the existing status.
The company cannot support new H-1B lottery applications.
Any sponsorship requirements should be disclosed at the beginning of the process.
Interview Process
Initial technical conversation with company leadership.
Founder conversation focused on motivation, ownership and startup alignment.
