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.
