About The Role

Our robots run in customer cleanrooms, on compute we deploy and maintain, under GMP rules that require every software change to be traceable. We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to be the first dedicated owner of infrastructure across our software org, from the cloud services behind our product to the software running on robots at customer sites. This is a design role first: we want someone who has built systems that had to work under real constraints, and who prefers the simplest design that will hold up.

Responsibilities

Own the cloud services behind our product end to end, including data ingestion from the robots, disaster recovery, our customer-facing API, and internal platforms, with high availability and sensible cost

Maintain and improve the build system and CI/CD pipelines

Scale our deployment and device-management systems from a single robot cluster to many clusters across customer sites, including firmware and differences in hardware between clusters, through customer firewalls and unreliable networks

Lead the company through SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and own the controls behind them (access, secrets, network segmentation, audit trails), keeping every deployed change traceable under GMP and 21 CFR Part 11

Act as our technical counterpart to customers' IT and security teams on network requirements, security reviews, and remote access to our systems on their sites

Build test and release automation, and write the release policies (what gets tested, who signs off, how a change rolls out) that a GMP customer can rely on

Build the infrastructure for high-fidelity robot simulation in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, including GPU compute and running simulation as part of testing

Set direction for infrastructure across the software org, review designs, and mentor engineers as the infra counterpart to the robotics software team

Qualifications

8+ years building software systems, with a substantial part of that owning infrastructure or deployment

Designed and built a non-trivial system yourself (a deploy or rollout system, a device agent, an orchestrator, a provisioning pipeline) and can explain its tradeoffs, failure modes, and what you would change

Experience shipping software to computers you don't fully control: robots, vehicles, IoT or edge devices, or on-prem installs at customer sites

Have taken a company through SOC 2 or ISO 27001, or owned a major part of an audit

Strong in Python, with deep Linux and networking skills: systemd, packaging, and debugging a machine you can only reach remotely

Solid AWS and infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform or CloudFormation), and enough Docker and Kubernetes to choose when not to use them

Clear writing and design docs; comfortable leading technical conversations with customers' IT and security teams, owning several projects at once, and sharing on-call

Additional Preferred Qualifications:

Robotics, AV, industrial automation, or lab automation background

Experience in regulated environments (GMP, FDA, ISO 13485)

Firmware update pipelines, embedded Linux (Yocto, Mender, RAUC, OSTree), or hardware-in-the-loop testing

Nice to Haves

GPU infrastructure or simulation at scale (Isaac Sim, Omniverse, or simulation running in CI)

Open-source projects you've written or maintained

Physical & Working Conditions

Standard work schedule with occasional evenings, weekends, or on-call support for critical issues or time-sensitive maintenance.
