Senior Software Engineer, Mytra

• This role is ideal for someone who thrives in developing high-performance Python systems beyond traditional API development — working on multi-threaded processes, simulation environments, and backend infrastructure that bridges the gap between real-world robotics and virtual environments
• 5+ years of industry experience
• Strong proficiency with systems-level development including multi-threading, multiprocessing, and system process management
• Experience in Python
• Experience building and maintaining long-running backend services or distributed systems
• Experience with testing frameworks and continuous integration pipelines (unit, integration, regression)
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with attention to performance and reliability
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills
• You’re encouraged to apply even if you can’t take on every example project in its totality
• We work closely and collaboratively at Mytra - No one takes on projects alone. We seek people who are eager to work together, learn new things, and bring unique perspectives

Desirable

• Mytra’s Software team is looking for a senior software engineer to develop and scale the core backend systems that power our simulation and system validation environments
• In this role you will collaborate closely with simulation engineers and other cross-functional teams across software, firmware, and robotics to develop performant, flexible, and scalable simulation tools, optimize performance, and ensure system reliability
• Your work will directly impact the fidelity, scalability, and speed of Mytra’s simulation ecosystem by enabling rapid experimentation, system validation, and “what-if” scenario analysis
• Design, build, and maintain backend systems for large-scale simulation and system validation environments
• Develop multi-threaded and process-driven Python applications to support high-performance simulation workloads and distributed processes
• Directly partner with simulation engineers, helping to integrate physical models, task schedules, and robot behaviors into scalable and extensible simulation services
• Collaborate with robotics, firmware, and infrastructure teams to ensure simulation fidelity and integration with real-world systems
• Lead the development of core simulation SDKs and reusable Python modules for internal use
• Build automated validation and test harnesses for continuous system performance evaluation
• Monitor, optimize, and scale simulation services across distributed or containerized environments
• Mentor other engineers and contribute to overall engineering best practices at Mytra
• Participate in design reviews, system architecture discussions, and performance tuning sessions
