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

    • Benchmark and profile workloads on CPU/GPU architectures using tracing tools like VTune and Linux Perf.
    • Analyze performance data to identify software bottlenecks and recommend optimizations.
    • Tune applications running in cluster and distributed environments.
    • Build performance monitoring scripts and automation using C, C++, and Python.
    • Apply knowledge of server ecosystem components (memory, storage, networking), virtualization, and Linux internals to performance tuning.
    • Document benchmarks and optimization findings for engineering and client stakeholders.

    Who Are We Looking For Exactly?

    • 2+ years of experience in bare-metal and virtual machine environments, with 2+ years of software development in C, C++, and Python.
    • Hands-on experience with benchmarking, tracing tools, VTune, and Linux Perf.
    • Working knowledge of server architecture, virtualization, and Linux OS internals.
    • Experience with distributed/cluster application environments.
    • Exposure to simulation technologies (functional, cycle-accurate/timing, performance) and profile-guided optimization is a plus.
    • Strong problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills.
    • B.S./M.S. in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
