Privacy First

What happens in the home, stays in the home. Our robots are private by design, with all data processing performed by the robot itself, not in the cloud.

Our Approach

Before the iPhone, consumers adopted several distinct devices; cell phones, PDAs, and portable music players each served a particular need. We believe in a similar progression for home robotics, starting with single-purpose robots and building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time.

About the Role

We're looking for a meticulous Backend Software Engineer to join us, with runway for huge and immediate impact. You would be working on internal tools with the rest of software, mechanical and electrical engineers.

What you'll do

  • Build and scale internal tools that support and streamline our production facilities
  • Develop robust systems in Rust to improve manufacturing efficiency and reliability
  • Collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Production teams to bring tooling needs to life
  • Recognize opportunities to create tools and improve infrastructure for better cross-team efficiency
  • Be an integral member of our small software team

What we look for

  • 2-5 years' experience in backend software development
  • Proficiency in Rust, or strong systems programming background with eagerness to work primarily in Rust
  • Experience building internal tooling or production support systems
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with hardware engineers and production teams
  • Comfort with a fast-paced, startup atmosphere - you don't shy away from the hard work
  • High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work

We'd love to hear from you if

  • You are genuinely motivated to help those around you
  • You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones
  • You love diagnosing complex technical issues
  • You are excited about taking ownership on a wide range of systems and driving projects from concept through shipping
