## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Automation, Robotics, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
 * Experience building software that other people depend on (SDKs, libraries, APIs) or embedded / hardware-software systems. No minimum years required; new graduates with strong hands-on embedded or robotics project work are welcome to apply
 * Proven knowledge + expertise, and passion for robotics software, hardware-software integration, and developer platforms
 * Top-notch Python or C / C++ skills, at the level of production code with tests
 * Strong familiarity with Linux development and deployment (systemd, networking, log forensics) and at least one robotics middleware or communication stack (ROS 2 / DDS / MQTT / zenoh / gRPC)
 * Hands-on with real devices: able to bring up hardware, integrate vendor protocols, and diagnose failures on site, * Proven expertise with unified abstraction layers over multi-vendor hardware, and with conformance or certification test suites that outside parties have to pass
 * A diverse skillset including embedded debugging (I2C / SPI / UART / CAN / USB, logic analyzer, oscilloscope), edge-AI deployment (quantization, ONNX / TensorRT / NPU), and service operations (containers, CI/CD, reverse proxy, monitoring)
 * A wide range of experience with robot simulation (MuJoCo / Isaac / Gazebo), reinforcement or imitation learning carried through to a physical robot, motion retargeting, or humanoid whole-body control
 * Experience with developer platforms, SDK releases, documentation sites, or app and plugin marketplaces
 * Full-stack web development experience for the developer platform and tools: frontend (React / TypeScript or similar) and backend services and APIs (Python / FastAPI, Node.js, or similar) backed by a relational database such as PostgreSQL
 * Experience shipping production web products: accounts and sign-in (OAuth / OIDC), file and package upload / download, usage quotas, cloud deployment (AWS, object storage), and frontend testing
 * Rust or C++ experience (some runtime components are written in Rust / C++)
 * Comfortable working from schematics and datasheets; power, battery management, or thermal experience is a plus
 * Open-source contributions, technical writing, or developer-community experience
 * A habit of verifying before concluding, and a conservative approach to anything that moves real hardware
 * A creative curiosity, collaborative ethic, hardworking enthusiasm, and driving personal vision
 * Excellent communication skills and team-working tendencies
 * A penchant for multi-tasking and self-starting
 * A genuine fascination for the robotics and embodied-AI field and a commitment to global change
 * A true sense of determination… and hopefully a sense of humor
