About this role

Are you an experienced C++ developer passionate about robotics and cutting-edge technology? Join our development team and take the lead on the Runner - our next-generation Autonomous Mobile Robot. As a Senior C++ Developer, you’ll architect, implement, and optimize features that push the boundaries of automation, from navigation to computer vision and beyond

What makes this role exciting

• Frontline development: Your contributions directly influence the Runner’s capabilities in real-world applications.
• Autonomy at scale: Collaborate directly with various teams - Product Managers, Runner QA
• Engineers, DevOps Engineers, Support team, and others, to deliver continuous integration and deployment of robotic software.
• Cutting-edge technology: Combine C++, Python, advanced algorithms, and microservices architecture to break new ground in robotics.
• Industry impact: Our Runner technology is shaping automation in logistics and manufacturing, your work will have real, wide-reaching effects on the future of these industries.

Core responsibilities

Architect & develop solutions:

• Craft high-performance C++ (and Python) applications and libraries.
• Maintain consistent code quality, following modern C++ standards (C++17+).

Lead by example:

• Conduct code reviews, ensuring uniform quality across our codebase.
• Mentor team members in advanced C++ features, templates, and STL usage.

Advanced robotic capabilities:

• Contribute to navigation, trajectory planning, driving, and computer vision algorithms.
• Design and implement new robot movements for tasks like tote manipulation and fulfillment operations.

Integration & automation:

• Connect the Runner with third-party systems using messaging services (RabbitMQ, Kafka).
• Implement automated tests (Google Test) to ensure reliability and performance.

Solve complex problems:

• Troubleshoot high-priority issues, debug defects and apply timely fixes.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams like QA, DevOps, and Product Management.

Requirements

• 7+ years in professional C++ development, with deep knowledge of templates, STL, and modern C++ standards (C++17+)
• Proven architectural skills for multithreaded or microservice-based environments
• Git mastery, with experience in GitHub or similar version control systems
• Messaging expertise, such as RabbitMQ, Kafka, or ActiveMQ
• Testing: Comfortable defining feature test strategies and implementing them with Google Test
• Strong CMake understanding and user experience with Docker
• Analytical mindset: Skilled at diagnosing complex issues and implementing efficient solutions
• Mentorship track record: Eager to share knowledge, best practices, and leadership with fellow developers.

Nice to have

• Python proficiency
• Advanced robotics/vision background: PhD or hands-on experience in robotics (ROS1/ROS2) or computer vision.
• Industry experience: Familiarity with industrial or logistics domains, bringing real-world insights.
• DevOps & monitoring: Hands-on with GitHub Actions, Prometheus+Grafana, Elastic+Kibana, or similar tools.
