Senior Fleet Software Engineer

The role

You will build software and infrastructure to operate and monitor a growing fleet of deployed robots. You will work on observability, alerting, automation, and deployment infrastructure.

What you will do

• Build and own fleet observability including metrics, logs, traces, and dashboards
• Design telemetry and data pipelines to move robot data to the cloud
• Build fleet-health dashboards and reports
• Build alerting and on-call tooling
• Automate diagnostics and incident capture
• Automate manual, error-prone work and reduce operational toil
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines
• Work with software teams to automate over-the-air software and firmware updates
• Build provisioning and configuration tooling

Required qualifications

• 3+ years of software engineering, with real ownership of internal tooling, infrastructure, or reliability systems
• Strong proficiency in Python plus at least one systems language (Go, C++, or Rust)
• Experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
• Experience with a major cloud (AWS or GCP), containers, and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Solid distributed-systems fundamentals across data transport, monitoring, and fault tolerance
• Ability to debug across the full stack, from a device on the network to a service in the cloud

Nice to have

• Background in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other latency- or safety-critical domains
• Experience with observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Foxglove)
• Experience with OTA or fleet deployment and safe-rollout patterns such as staged rollout and auto-rollback
• Familiarity with ROS/ROS2, edge or embedded Linux, or low-latency data transport for real-time systems
• Experience building tooling for an operations, on-call, or field team
