Role

Who you are

We are looking for solid, experienced software engineers with a penchant for solving complex configuration problems
Bachelor or Master degree in Computer Science or related field
At least 5 years of experience writing production Software
Mastery of designing scalable software systems
Experience with modern C++ and Python
Experience working with complex configuration systems

Desirable

Hands-on experience developing a configuration design for a complex system
Mastery of C++, Python and Linux
Experience working in resource constrained environments like microcontrollers

What the job involves

Architect, design, implement a configuration system for the robot, all of its subsystems and the overall robot fleet
Integrate the configuration system into Python and C++ codebases
Develop infrastructure and tooling around managing, distributing and verifying the configuration
Help us ensure that our robot ecosystem is stable, scalable and well tested in CI in all configuration permutations

Our take

Humanoid robots are quickly moving from sci-fi to reality, with big tech companies racing to bring them into workplaces, and soon, our homes. It's a booming market, and Figure is one of the big names in the game.

Figure builds human-like robots that are powered by advanced AI that can walk, see, and even understand natural language. Its latest model, the Figure 02, is already piloting in a BMW factory, and its in-house AI system, Helix lets these robots perform complex tasks from simple voice prompts. The company's moving fast, and it's not slowing down anytime soon.

But moving fast comes with baggage. It recently cut ties with OpenAI after claiming a major breakthrough in robot intelligence, and it's now working completely solo. Still, Figure just secured major commercial deals and may be headed for a jaw-dropping $40B valuation. It's a high-stakes field that's as exciting as it is controversial and Figure is certainly one to watch out for.
