Were a growing team (about 70 team members) of mostly engineers and technicians coming from companies like Palantir Qualcomm Dyson Shopify Tesla 1X and Meta. Its still the early days of building the company and this is a unique opportunity to be an early employee in a high-growth high-ambition startup environment. From Day 1 youll be able to work with an experienced founding team backed by top-tier investors.

About you and this role
Were looking for a software engineer who wants to build full-stack software that can touch the physical world not another SaaS product. Youll develop and deploy software that controls fleets of autonomous construction robots. Our software stack is very broad covering everything from microcontroller firmware up to the UI that operators use to control the robots. Weve built CAD tools for designing masonry structures path planning and motion control telemetry and inspection tools and distributed data storage and sync.
The technical challenges were solving combine hardware software and infrastructure at scale - while maintaining high availability on construction sites. Atrium our operating system for construction is built with TypeScript and Rust. Much of our Rust code is compiled to WebAssembly allowing our UI to interface directly with the same control code that we deploy to our robots. This gives us a shared stack between real-world deployments and simulated runs in the front-end.
Help us bring our robots to life and join our mission to bring automation to the construction industry to create affordable beautiful high-quality housing for everyone.

What youll be responsible for
Writing Rust and TypeScript code that controls the robot in real-time turning high-level goals into small steps that the robot can execute
Building tools and dashboards in TypeScript and React to manage and monitor a growing distributed fleet of robots across multiple construction sites
Debugging complex issues that cut across the stack: e.g. bugs in the Chromium GC; WiFi connection issues with robot systems or race conditions in concurrent Rust code
Designing the core architecture of our platform and choosing the right abstractions to map the messy world of construction into elegant software
Prototyping and building components that interact with various microcontrollers and distributed subsystems
Working collaboratively with our team of hardware engineers control engineers and robot operators to improve product experience reliability and performance of our platform
What were looking for
Industry experience building and deploying production systems in multiple languages (Rust experience is valuable but not required)
Strong CS or mathematics foundation you are a strong geometric thinker understand basic linear algebra and 3D transformations
Basic familiarity with Linux systems and conventions. E.g. youre comfortable SSHing into other machines to figure out why something isnt working
Knowledge of common communication protocols e.g. UDP TCP/IP and WebSockets
A strong sense of ownership and motivation. Youre able to drive problems and projects start-to-finish without someone project managing you and can thrive in a chaotic environment.
A high percentage of our software team have been a technical founder CTO or founding engineer before. If thats your background youll likely fit in. But we also get excited by people with a demonstrated background of shipping impressive work at any type of company.
