You'll work in the software department on Mobile Robotics' core software, defining how our robots communicate with upper-level software platforms, ensuring technical consistency across product lines, and establishing unified user-facing and hardware-facing APIs. The role also includes designing a dispatcher mechanism that assigns different software configurations to different hardware versions. * You maintain and develop the communication architecture between our robots and upper-level software platforms, ensuring technical consistency across product lines. * You design and maintain unified user-facing APIs, developer APIs, integration APIs, and hardware-facing APIs for different user groups, including customers, developers, system integrators, partners, and internal teams. * You develop and maintain REST/gRPC APIs, Python/C++ SDKs, OPC UA, MQTT, ROS 2, and ZeroMQ-based interfaces and related integration layers. * You design and maintain a dispatcher mechanism that maps the right software configuration, interface behavior, and feature set to different robot models and hardware versions. * You ensure API versioning, backward compatibility, authentication, authorization, secure access, and clear interface ownership. * You support external partner and system integrator integrations, including onboarding, debugging, issue analysis, and real-deployment support. * You create and maintain API documentation, SDK examples, interface specifications, and configuration guides. ## Related Videos - [Code to Road in < 12 hours](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1082-code-to-road-in-12-hours) - [Web APIs you might not know about](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/281-web-apis-you-might-not-know-about) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
