C++ Developer

About Company

We are building general-purpose autonomous robots for US construction to tackle rising costs, safety risks, and labour shortages. Our modular, multi-trade platform combines purpose-built hardware with real-time site intelligence to navigate complex environments and execute tasks with precision. Trained in high-fidelity simulation and already deployed on live sites, our robots deliver 5x faster execution, 250%+ margin expansion, and significant cost savings.

About the Role

We are looking for a versatile, hands-on software engineer to join our growing team. You will work across embedded Linux systems, networking stacks, robotic middleware, and cloud-connected services. This role demands strong fundamentals, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly — not just familiarity with buzzwords.

On-site, Bengaluru

Responsibilities

• Design and implement robot boot-up sequences and service orchestration to ensure reliable, deterministic system bring-up.
• Configure and manage Linux networking — TCP/IP stack, HTTP, iptables, ARP, DHCP, DNS — for robot-to-cloud and inter-robot communication.
• Own CI/CD pipelines using ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, and containerized workflows to ship software to robots.
• Manage Docker-based deployment and runtime environments on robot and cloud infrastructure.
• Write and maintain system administration tooling and bash scripts for fleet management and diagnostics.
• Collaborate closely with robotics, perception, and application teams to integrate platform capabilities.
• Establish and enforce best practices around Git workflows, branching strategies, and code review.
• Lead and mentor a small platform engineering team — set technical direction, conduct code reviews, and drive execution.

Requirements

All candidates must demonstrate solid, hands-on competency in every item listed below.

• Linux systems programming in C
• File I/O — read, write, seek, memory-mapped files
• Multi-threading — pthreads, mutexes, condition variables, thread safety
• Socket communication — TCP/UDP sockets, select/poll/epoll
• Basic data structures & algorithms — stack, heap, queue, linked list
• General comprehension ability — reading technical manuals, datasheets, and RFCs
• Python scripting
• Bash scripting
• Git — CLI usage, branching, merging, rebasing, conflict resolution
• Standard UML diagrams — flowchart, sequence diagram, deployment diagram
• Windowless text editor — vim, nano, or equivalent

Strong Advantage

• C++ programming — C++17, OOP, templates, STL
• Common network protocols — DHCP, ARP, TCP, UDP, DNS
• Network configuration — routers, switches, VLANs, subnetting
• Server-client application architecture
• P2P vs. centralised communication — DDS vs. MQTT
• Database management — SQL vs. NoSQL, schema design
• Network security — checksums (CRC, MD5, SHA), public-key encryption, digital signatures
• ROS2 framework — pub/sub, services, actions, lifecycle nodes, DDS transport
• CMake build system — targets, find_package, CTest integration
• Docker — Dockerfiles, docker-compose, remote image registries

Must-haves (non-negotiable)

• Strong Linux systems programming in C — multi-threading (pthreads), socket communication (TCP/UDP, epoll), and file I/O
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (ArgoCD, GitHub Actions) and Docker-based deployments
• Networking expertise — TCP/IP stack, DHCP, DNS, iptables, inter-device communication
• Proficiency in Python and Bash scripting for fleet management and diagnostics
• ROS2 experience (pub/sub, DDS, lifecycle nodes) is a strong advantage

Sr. Software Engineer

Job Type: Contractor (~15 hrs a week)

Location: Remote

Schedule: Flexible, you pick the hours and days (including weekends if desired)

Job Summary: In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

You'll create realistic, interesting and challenging coding tasks for AI to solve involving feature implementation and bug fixes, and implement deterministic verifiers that accept reasonable valid solutions and reject everything else.

What we're looking for

1. Strong backend experience in Java, Node.js, Go, Rust, Typescript, Python, C++ or similar
2. A track record building scalable services and APIs
3. Comfort with debugging, performance work and automated testing
4. Solid code review instincts
5. A strong testing background is a big plus — experience designing test strategy, building and maintaining large test suites, diagnosing flaky tests, or raising the testing bar on a team.

Preferred Qualifications

1. Proven experience in backend development, with a track record of delivering high-quality and performant projects.
2. Demonstrated success in identifying and resolving software bugs and system bottlenecks.
3. Experience with codebase refactoring and implementing complex features in large-scale applications.
4. Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and foundational computer science concepts.
5. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and technical communication skills.

A note on the process: our interview and assessment stages are designed to see how you think, so we ask that you complete them without outside assistance. The same applies once you're on the project — the value of the work comes from your own judgment.

Process:

1. Apply to the role, filling out the screening questions
2. Complete AI Interview (approx. 30 minutes)
3. Technical Assessment (Tentative)
4. Hiring Manager review
