Company

Role

Who you are

Expertise in C++17 (or newer) or another modern systems programming language
Strong experience with asynchronous, event-driven programming
Experience with software build tooling and code generation
Understanding of core operating systems concepts and thread scheduling
Proven ability to profile and optimize software performance in a Linux environment
Experience designing well-documented, flexible software APIs
Strong software architecture skills, with experience shipping solutions for complex, real-world use cases
At least 4 years of experience developing performant software and interfaces for resource-constrained systems (e.g., robotics, mobile devices)
Ability to effectively communicate technical concepts to cross-functional teams

What the job involves

As a Software Engineer focused on safety-critical middleware, you’ll help design and develop the software that powers key autonomy features
You'll build scalable frameworks that connect hardware platforms with autonomy software, create reusable abstractions to accelerate development, and collaborate closely with autonomy and firmware teams to close feature gaps—all contributing to the delivery of robust, reliable autonomy systems
Design, implement, and maintain the on-robot software frameworks and middleware for executing, monitoring, and testing autonomy systems
Develop abstractions for various vehicle hardware systems
Design inter-process communication frameworks for distributed applications
Develop high-performance frameworks for buffering and logging high-throughput data
Build safety-critical libraries used across a wide range of autonomy algorithms and applications
Improve system reliability through real-time diagnostics and performance monitoring
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify feature-gaps and enhance the software stack
Participate in shaping system-level architecture decisions alongside other technical leads
Support operations by improving deployment, monitoring, and observability tools

Application process

Our interview process is generally conducted in four (4) phases
Phone Screen with People Operations (30 minutes)
Video Interview with the Hiring Manager (30 to 45 minutes)
Technical Interview with an Engineer (60 minutes)
Panel Interview (in-person interviews scheduled with key stakeholders, each interview will be 30 to 45 minutes)

Our take

While trillions of dollars are spent on developing autonomous passenger vehicles, core industries such as agriculture haven’t been getting the same kind of attention. This is where Agtonomy steps in, supplying software that turns tractors and other equipment into autonomous machines, enabling cost-saving remote modes of operation.

Agtonomy differs itself from its competition by primarily meeting the needs of local farmers as opposed to big farms. In line with this, its autonomous vehicles will cost around $50,000, which is a far cry from the $500,000-$1 million price tag typical in the industry.

In 2023, the company expanded its customer pilot program in a step towards a full commercial launch. It has since continued to raise funding, the latest of which will support accelerated growth and market expansion in the coming years.
