Software Engineer at venture-backed robotics infrastructure startup

You will build foundational teleoperation infrastructure that enables remote human control of humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles globally. Working directly with the founders, you'll own a custom sub-40ms glass-to-glass video protocol and a distributed mesh network. This is a deep systems role where your code determines if a robot successfully navigates real-world edge cases.

• Develop and optimize a custom low-latency video streaming protocol and in-house Kafka-like streaming library for real-time data transmission.
• Engineer multi-path bonding solutions across LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi to ensure reliable robot connectivity in challenging environments.
• Integrate low-level networking stacks and custom renderers directly into robotic fleets, including humanoid robots and industrial arms.

• Professional experience building low-latency video streaming, custom networking protocols, or real-time distributed systems.
• Strong proficiency in Rust, or a background in C/C++ with a deep desire to master Rust for high-performance systems programming.
• Familiarity with robotics middleware such as ROS2, Zenoh, or DDS, or experience in related fields like cloud gaming and IoT fleet management.

• Work on a proprietary, ground-up alternative to WebRTC, delivering industry-leading sub-40ms latency for high-fidelity robotic control.
• Join a small, elite team of three at a venture-backed startup providing critical operational infrastructure to the world's fastest-growing robotics companies.
• Influence the future of autonomy by building the platform that converts human interventions into high-quality training data for humanoid robots and AVs.
