SDE Apprentice - Backend & Android
About Origin
Origin (previously 10xConstruction) is building general-purpose autonomous robots for US construction to tackle rising costs, safety risks, and labour shortages. Our modular, multi-trade platform combines purpose-built hardware with real-time site intelligence to navigate complex environments and execute tasks with precision. Trained in high-fidelity simulation and already deployed on live sites, our robots deliver faster execution, stronger project economics, and meaningful cost savings. Join India's talent-dense robotics team, with colleagues from IITs, Stanford, UCLA, and other leading institutions.
About the Role
We're looking for an SDE Apprentice who is strong on the backend and comfortable working on Android too. Operators on construction sites control our robots through Android apps. Those apps depend on backend services for robot state, telemetry, and job data. You'll work on both sides: mostly backend (Python, APIs, databases), with regular work on the Android app. We care more about strong fundamentals and how fast you learn than about knowing a specific framework. You'll ship production code to robots on live sites, with mentorship from senior engineers.
Key Responsibilities
Backend & APIs
- Build and maintain backend services in Python (FastAPI), including async endpoints and background tasks.
- Design and integrate REST and WebSocket APIs for robo
