About RobCo

RobCo is a revolutionary robotics company backed by Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed, and founders of UiPath, Helsing, and Pitch. Raised $50M+ to enable businesses to enhance productivity and address labor shortages.

The Role

Build software foundations for next-generation robot autonomy at scale, working across ROS 2 middleware, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and ML data pipelines.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement high-quality services in ROS 2-based systems with latency constraints

• Architect control, perception, and telemetry pipelines for robot hardware integration

• Develop ML data pipelines for multimodal datasets and large-scale training workflows

• Build cloud-native systems on AWS (EC2 orchestration, containerized services, compute clusters)

• Integrate distributed training technologies like Ray/Anyscale for robot learning

• Lead code reviews, testing strategies, CI/CD, observability, and documentation standards

• Collaborate across autonomy, controls, and ML teams on system interfaces

• Mentor team members and drive architectural decisions

Requirements

• 5-10+ years in software engineering, distributed systems, or robotics platforms

• Strong C++ and Python proficiency with clean engineering practices

• Deep experience with ROS 2 and Zenoh (nodes, messaging, lifecycle, middleware, performance, real-time systems)

• Hands-on distributed systems experience (messaging, orchestration, storage)

• Docker and AWS cloud environment expertise

• PyTorch or ML toolchain familiarity with data workflows (Ray, Spark)

• End-to-end system design capabilities

• Cross-domain collaboration skills

Nice to Have

• Front-end development experience

What We Offer

• Shape a complete robotics autonomy stack architecture

• Work with world-class robotics and ML teams

• High ownership and influence over foundational design decisions

• Hybrid work model, flexible hours, and top-tier equipment

• Transparent, trust-based culture with growth opportunities
