You'll own the design and execution of all networking systems on the core robot, working with our Cloud Infra and Apps teams to scale robot operations end-to-end, from fleet management to real-time VR teleop. This is critical-path work: as 1X scales from hundreds to tens of thousands of robots, the reliability, performance, and simplicity of networking becomes a critical piece of every successful deployment. You'll lead architecture decisions, build core components, and set the technical standards the rest of the team builds on., * Own the core networking systems for robots and design topologies that minimize latency for peer-to-peer, peer-to-server, and one-to-many communication. * Design and implement load balancing strategies that maximize CPU/GPU utilization. * Deliver seamless connectivity across multiple networks, including Wi-Fi and 5G. * Build APIs and protocols that transmit multimodal data at scale, including high-bandwidth video. ## Related Videos - [Small, Secure, Interconnected: The next Internet Protocol](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100062-small-secure-interconnected-the-next-internet-protocol) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Transforming Education: A Journey from interactive Markdown to Remote-Labs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/941-transforming-education-a-journey-from-interactive-markdown-to-remote-labs) - [From Model to Metal: An Open Source Stack for Accelerating Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1636-from-model-to-metal-an-open-source-stack-for-accelerating-intelligence) - [Turning Container security up to 11 with Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/718-turning-container-security-up-to-11-with-capabilities) - [Hello JARVIS - Building Voice Interfaces for Your LLMS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1641-hello-jarvis-building-voice-interfaces-for-your-llms) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Basic And Advanced Networking in Dart and Flutter](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/112-basic-and-advanced-networking-in-dart-and-flutter) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers)
