Software Engineer III, Robot Throughput
About The Position
We are looking for a Software Engineer III to build the core software powering our next-generation autonomous robots. In this role, you will develop the systems that allow our robots to automate key warehouse functions with high performance and reliability. You will work across robotics and autonomy—building robust, production-grade software that scales as we deploy more robots into high-throughput warehouse operations. You’ll collaborate closely with our AI, hardware, and infrastructure teams to integrate frontier AI capabilities into practical, real-world robotics systems and to continually improve system uptime, performance, and overall intelligence.
