Teleop Networking Engineer, Real-Time Systems & Latency

The role

You will build real-time transport between robot sites and operator stations. You will also design the operator interface and manage on-site data recording and storage infrastructure.

What you will do

• Build real-time transport between robot sites and operator stations.
• Own the end-to-end latency budget.
• Make the link robust through NAT traversal, congestion management, and bandwidth adaptation.
• Design and build the operator interface.
• Build operator-facing tooling for queueing, session handoff, and fleet visibility.
• Own on-site recording of synchronized streams and metadata.
• Set up infrastructure for data storage and access of robot teleop episodes.

Required qualifications

• 3+ years building production level real-time networked systems.
• Hands-on experience with low-latency media transport and video encoding trade-offs.
• Experience measuring and reducing latency in a production system.
• Comfortable building a polished interface, web or native.
• Strong in at least one of TypeScript, Go, Rust, C++, or Python.
• Comfortable deploying and debugging software on remote Linux machines.

Nice to have

• Experience with robotics, teleoperation, drones, or other remote-control systems.
• Hardware video encode/decode on edge devices; multi-camera synchronization.
• Built data pipelines that move large volumes of sensor or video data from the edge to cloud storage.
• Experience with global network deployment: relays/TURN, choosing regions, measuring paths between countries.
• Game development, VR/XR, or other latency-sensitive interaction design.
