Company mission
To propel human productivity through the world’s most accessible robots.
Role
Who you are
- We do not require or favor any background in robotics
- We’re looking for engineers who are self driven, optimistic, creative, and resourceful
- We have no requirements for a background in robotics, but find most success with engineers excited by the domain and looking to apply their expertise and experience in a new area
- Our ideal candidate will be open to doing approximately 15% front-end work and 85% back-end work, with flexibility to sway more towards one or the other, depending on current projects and team needs
- Our backend focuses on real-time robotics control, handling high-performance data streams and low-latency communication rather than traditional database-driven applications
- This means working on complex, dynamic systems that interact with the physical world in real time
- Experience: You have a strong technical background, including 5-10 years of experience working in complex environments
- Growth + Optimism: You are excited by new domains and challenges, and eager to pick up new context to accelerate your impact
- Clarity of Communication: You excel in written and verbal communication and enjoy leveraging your skills to support your peers
- Impact Driven: You relentlessly seek user impact and value execution over technical idealism
- Proactive Simplicity: You prioritize simplicity, reliability, and velocity and proactively identify opportunities to improve proposed implementations or incumbent systems
- Excelling in Ambitious Environments: You excel in dynamic and ambitious environments, working with a diverse group of individuals and backgrounds
What the job involves
- We're looking for seasoned and skilled technical leaders to help architect robust backend systems that power our robotics platform
- As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will work on critical infrastructure that enables safe and reliable robot operations, from hardware integrations to state management and control systems
- You’ll work on new R&D hardware as well as our production robot hardware
- Design and implement robust backend architectures for robot control and state management
- Build and maintain test infrastructure to ensure system safety and reliability
- Develop hardware integration systems for various robotics peripherals (cameras, grippers, sensors)
- Drive technical decisions around system architecture and engineering best practices
- Create reliable APIs and services that enable seamless robot operations
- Implement monitoring, logging, and debugging systems for robot operations
- Mentor other engineers on backend architecture and system design principles
- Tech Stack:
- C++ (for performance-critical components) - C++ experience is required for this role
- TypeScript (for robot state management)
- Python
- ROS/ROS2
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- CI/CD (Github Actions)
Our take
In recent years, the field of robotics has brought to life ideas that once belonged to the world of sci-fi. But, robots are still extremely complex to program, making the automations they facilitate out of reach for many businesses.
Standard Bots is setting out to change this, with AI-powered robots and a complementary robotics platform that means they can be programmed through simple demonstrations. This approach should broaden the accessibility of robots to businesses of all sizes, enabling them to employ automations that can give them a competitive edge.
It's an intriguing proposition, and investors clearly agree, with the company raising substantial funding to support its mission. Standard Bots plans to use these funds to expand its engineering team and speed up the development of its robots, as well as further improve its robotics platform.
