Software Engineer
About the Company
The datacenter buildout is the largest industrial project in human history. Gradient builds the autonomous robots that make it possible.
Partnered with the world's largest AI infrastructure companies and backed by the industry's best investors, we move fast and build full-stack systems that matter.
About the role
We're looking for a Software Engineer to help move data from AI models to actuators. You'll work close to the hardware, from kernel and firmware up through the controls and perception layers, contributing to real-time pipelines that move hundreds of megabytes at single-digit millisecond latency. Vision inference, control loops, and actuation all live on the same clock, and you'll help keep them there. The goal: bring visibility and determinism into the end-to-end inference pipeline so the ML model is the only stochastic component. We iterate fast (multiple robot generations in months, not years), so the code you ship lands on real machines doing real precision work almost immediately.
Responsibilities
Ship performance-critical code to real robots daily
Learn the full data flow: camera frames in, perception and planning in the middle, control commands and actuator feedback out, and the systems that carry
