Company mission
To automate the most common industrial tasks - moving and storing materials - with flexible, scalable and intuitive robotics and AI.
Role
Who you are
- We utilize common technologies regularly used in the SaaS world to move fast and learn quickly. While no specific language or framework is required to apply, we are using React, Python, Go and Rust in various existing projects
- You’ve applied your expertise and skillset at a number of different types of company, to build varying software products
- You’re excited to learn that your target users are people you can message anytime for direct feedback, and that they are keen to do so
- You bias towards “right tool for the job” over any strongly held opinions that a language, framework or technology is “the best”
- You've frequently sought out what to work on based on the problem to be solved
- You work well with others, preferring to collaborate on a problem as opposed to being a “lone wolf” that the team doesn’t hear from for days
- You are heavily invested in the team around you and the overall goals we are seeking to solve, but not deeply attached to a specific implementation you’ve worked on
- You are excited about working on an immature project, growing together, and shaping the future of the company
- Uncertainty isn’t scary, and you’re willing to realize mistakes and pivot
- Openness, inquisitiveness, and constant ambition are important values
- We seek people who are eager to work together, learn new things, and bring unique perspectives
What the job involves
- Mytra’s Software team is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to build the next generation of in-house simulation and modeling of the Mytra system
- As a software engineer you’ll collaborate with teammates from our simulation & modeling team, our software team, and partners across the company to build a simulation capability bespoke to Mytra’s unique design
- We expect you to be a strong software engineer who can apply past experiences building large scale, complex systems to an entirely new area
- Perhaps you have never set foot in a warehouse, or worked in a robotics company before – but you have a history of building reliable, scalable and ever-evolving software products and thrive in an environment where you are encouraged to iterate quickly, get feedback, and build upon what you have
- Create and maintain an in-house simulation and modeling system
- Utilize software engineering principles to build a suite of products that can be relied upon, evolved, and collaborated on
- Engage with users (internal) for feedback and incorporate this into revisions of the product to ensure we are serving their needs
- Contribute to and make use of our internal component library to fast-track development and expand the utility of the components you create
Our take
Since the pandemic disrupted global supply chains, labor shortages and inefficiencies in warehouse operations have become a major issue. Many warehouses are still largely manual, with only a small percentage using advanced automation, leaving space for improvement in efficiency and productivity.
To tackle this, Mytra AI is developing an advanced automation system for warehouses. Founded by former Tesla engineers, the company is creating modular and reconfigurable robotic solutions that can handle heavy payloads and adapt to various warehouse tasks. With the aim of enhancing the flexibility and capability of automated systems, making warehouses better suited to current industry needs.
Backed by substantial funding, Mytra is ready to roll out its solutions with major clients like Albertsons and other Fortune 50 companies. With its innovative approach and strong backing, Myra is well-positioned for an exciting future in the warehouse automation sector.
