Join a small, elite team building the data layer for robotics. You will develop low-latency video streaming and networking infrastructure that allows humans to remotely control humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles globally. By enabling sub-40ms latency, you provide the critical teleoperation backbone that generates high-quality training data for the future of autonomy.
Software Engineer at Adamo — Venture-backed robotics infrastructure startup
Join Adamo in London to build the sub-40ms teleoperation infrastructure powering the next generation of humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles. As an early engineer, you'll ditch WebRTC to build custom streaming protocols and multi-path networking from scratch, directly enabling real-world data collection at scale. If you are a systems expert who obsesses over milliseconds and wants to work with Rust at the intersection of robotics and high-performance video, this is your chance to own a critical piece of the autonomy stack alongside a fast-moving founding team.
Overview
Why this role stands out
Company
Adamo - Venture-backed robotics infrastructure startup
Responsibilities
What you will do
- Build and optimize a custom low-latency video streaming protocol and distributed mesh network to support real-time teleoperation.
- Implement multi-path bonding across LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi to ensure reliable data transmission for robotic fleets in the field.
- Develop a Kafka-like streaming library and custom renderers to capture and process high-fidelity training data for autonomous systems.
Candidate profile
Who this is a fit for
- Strong proficiency in Rust or a background in C/C++ with a deep desire to master low-level systems programming in Rust.
- Proven experience in low-latency video streaming, custom networking protocols, or real-time infrastructure like cloud gaming or ROS2.
- An independent builder who enjoys optimizing systems to the limit and shipping high-performance code that interacts with physical hardware.
What makes it remarkable
Why this role is remarkable
- Work at the cutting edge of robotics and video engineering, building custom protocols from scratch rather than relying on off-the-shelf solutions like WebRTC.
- Join as an early employee at a fast-growing, venture-backed startup, working directly with the founders to set the technical direction for the entire platform.
- Solve high-stakes engineering challenges where every millisecond of latency reduction directly improves the safety and capability of real-world robotic systems.
