What you need
- Real experience debugging code you didn't write, under time pressure, with incomplete information.
- Comfort in at least two of Rust, modern C++, Python, Go to read and fix bugs.
- Systems-debugging instincts: pull logs and metrics, reconstruct what happened, reproduce offline from recorded data.
- Exposure to observability tooling (Prometheus/Grafana-class metrics, Loki/ELK-class logs).
- Linux and systems fluency.
- Ability to write clear documentation of issues and fixes.
Nice to have
- Robotics middleware, sensor drivers, or real-time data pipeline experience.
- Time in simulation-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop test setups.
- CI/CD and versioned deployment experience for embedded or fleet software.
- Actual on-call or field-support experience for hardware that ships to real users.
What you get
- Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.
- Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers.
Worth weighing
- No specific mention of team size or structure, which may affect collaboration dynamics.
- The role requires a significant amount of debugging under pressure, which may not suit everyone.
- Expectations for travel may impact work-life balance.
- The job involves working with existing codebases rather than greenfield projects, which may limit creative input.
