Right now, adding a new piece of hardware usually means our own engineers have to integrate it. We want to change that. We're building a platform that lets partners and other teams connect their own hardware and write their own driver.
You'll work alongside robotics engineers and help set the team up from the start. The APIs and system design you create will be what everyone else builds on.
If you like hard backend problems where good design directly affects how fast other people can move, this role is worth a look.
What you will do
You'll spend most of your time in Rust, working out how to abstract the communication with the
