Backend Software Engineer (Robotics Systems)

Join our team as a Backend Software Engineer specializing in Robotics Systems. In this role, you will be responsible for building the connection between our web-based software and the physical hardware on the manufacturing floor. You will ensure that the robotic system responds instantly and safely to operator interactions, manage the entire lifecycle of a command, and develop secure login and identity systems. Additionally, you will architect resilient data systems, build backend infrastructure for multi-tenant environments, design reliable communication pathways, and create detailed audit logs. This position offers a competitive compensation package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan, paid time off, and a hybrid work model.

• Establishing and maintaining the connection between web-based software and physical hardware on the manufacturing floor.
• Implementing secure login and identity systems that manage user access levels and ensure only authorized personnel can trigger physical hardware actions.
• Architecting resilient data systems that store robot telemetry locally during network outages and synchronize with the cloud once a connection is restored.
• Proficiency in interfacing software with physical hardware through digital inputs and outputs (such as controlling lights, switches, or sensors)
• Professional experience designing and implementing granular user permissions and access control levels within a multi-user software environment
• Practical experience with network communication protocols used to send data between different pieces of hardware and software
• Expertise in fullstack development, moving comfortably between server-side logic (Python or C++) and client-side web applications (TypeScript)
• Experience with industrial communication standards used to talk to factory equipment and hardware controllers
• Understanding of distributed systems and how to resolve data conflicts with multi user access
• Experience with real-time operating systems or high-performance messaging systems for low-latency control
• Familiarity with modern build and deployment tools (such as Bazel or containerization) to manage complex, multi-component software
• Previous experience building industrial human-machine interfaces or control panels for complex machinery
