Software Engineering, Vehicle Fleets, Vehicle Fleets, Wheel/Front-End Loader, Warehousing, Systems Maintenance, Performance Management, Debugging Skills, Application Programming Interface (API), Data Modeling, * 5+ years of production software engineering experience.

 * Experience building and shipping production software that solves search, routing, scheduling, planning, or optimization problems.
 * Familiarity with algorithmic problem spaces such as multi-agent path finding, vehicle routing, constraint solving, graph search, or similar.
 * Experience designing and maintaining production data models or schemas, including making changes safely as systems evolve.
 * Hands-on experience with relational databases, especially SQL or Postgres.
 * Experience designing, building, and supporting APIs used by other services, systems, or teams.
 * Ability to make practical system design decisions and understand the tradeoffs involved.
 * Strong ability to work through ambiguity, identify the right questions to ask, and move problems forward independently.
 * Product and technical judgment, with the ability to contribute ideas about what should be built while executing on current team priorities.

Nice to have:

 * Experience with warehouse automation or AMR fleet management.

 * Experience supporting systems where software issues can affect physical-world operations.

## Description

The orchestration team builds the backend software that manages all of the work that needs to happen in a Mytra system: what every bot should work on, when, how and in what sequence; in addition to tracking the current state of the system and all of the work requests. We are constantly solving dynamically changing multi-agent path finding problems against a live fleet.

What you'll do:

 * Build backend software that coordinates a live fleet of bots, including planning collision-free and time-feasible routes across a shared operating space.
 * Develop systems for assigning tasks to bots based on fleet state, task dependencies, timing constraints, and operational priorities.
 * Implement planning logic for storage and retrieval workflows, including where payloads should be stored and what moves are required to access blocked or buried payloads.
 * Support continuous replanning as work is added, canceled, reprioritized, or disrupted, while helping keep the fleet operating efficiently.
 * Maintain accurate system state across Mytra's digital model and the physical warehouse environment.
 * Build recovery workflows for situations where the physical system and software state diverge, including blocked areas, maintenance zones, network drops, spills, or other unexpected events.
 * Improve observability into planning cycles, task execution, and system behavior so engineers can debug issues and improve performance over time.
 * Design and maintain backend services, APIs, and data models that support orchestration, planning, task execution, and fleet operations.
 * Integrate customer warehouse workflows and WMS data into Mytra's system to support efficient deployment and operation of the platform.
 * Collaborate with software, robotics, product, and customer-facing teams to deliver reliable orchestration capabilities in production.
