## About the Role

Do you have experience in Python?, Do you have a Bachelor's degree?, * 5+ years building non-trivial production software, ideally in a system-level context (robotics, embedded, medical devices, scientific instruments, autonomy)

 * Strong C++ and Python
 * Advanced fluency with coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalents) - you use them as a daily force multiplier and have strong opinions on how to get good output from them
 * Systems thinking - comfortable with concurrency, real-time constraints, IPC, and the tradeoffs that come with them
 * Pragmatic instincts about when to optimize, when to ship, and when to rewrite
 * Strong communication - you write clear code, clear PR descriptions, and clear design docs
 * Comfort working in a small team where the lines between domains are blurry
 * BS or MS in computer science, robotics, or related field, * Experience with robotics middleware (ROS2, custom IPC, gRPC/protobuf)
 * Real-time Linux experience
 * Motion control or control theory exposure
 * TypeScript and frontend work - enough to be powerful when needed
 * Linux driver or kernel-adjacent experience
 * Medical device or other regulated software experience (IEC 62304, safety-critical patterns)
 * Simulation infrastructure (MuJoCo, Gazebo, custom)

## Description

We're looking for a strong generalist software engineer to help us ship the next version of our surgical robot. You'll work across our software stack - robot control, system-level orchestration, user-facing tools - and pick up whatever needs picking up. This role suits someone who has more interest in building a working product than in specializing in one layer of the stack., * Build and improve core robot control software in C++

 * Own system-level orchestration code in Python that ties our subsystems together
 * Improve our simulation and test infrastructure
 * Move across the stack as needed - whatever is currently the bottleneck
 * Collaborate closely with ML, hardware, and clinical teams to ship end-to-end features
 * Help define and harden the software architecture as we move toward IDE submission and clinical trial
