# Software Engineer

- **Company:** PANTOGRAPH INC
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Systems, Linux on Embedded Systems
- **Published:** July 15, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=0daf4053913a9e2b

## About the Role

We're looking for a sharp generalist engineer to work on our robot software. You'll sit close to both our customers and our hardware team. The work spans our core robot feature stack - building and shipping features that improve our customers' experience of our robots - as well as our internal test infrastructure and robot tooling.

A robotics background is not a requirement. The ideal fit is someone eager to dive into new problems, curious and quick to learn new domains, and who cares deeply about what makes products usable.

You might be a good fit if you:

 * Are a strong generalist programmer who's comfortable jumping between domains
 * Love shipping things and seeing real people use them
 * Are pragmatic and you reach for the simplest thing that solves the problem
 * Communicate well and enjoy working directly with customers and teammates outside engineering
 * Use AI tools extremely effectively

Bonus if you've worked with:

 * Rust (most of our stack is written in it - but a strong engineer can pick it up)
 * Embedded Linux, hardware, or anything physical, like software for robots or cars
 * Testing and reliability at scale
 * Video pipelines, networking, or distributed systems
 * Fleet management
