Job Summary
About Nimble
Nimbleis a frontier robotics and AI company building the next era of autonomous logistics. We design manufacture and deploy intelligent robots that enable fast efficient and sustainable commerce at global scale. Our team is building generalized robot intelligence and developing the worlds first generalist super-humanoid robots capable of performing all core warehouse workflows with superhuman performance.
We recently closed a $106M Series C at a $1B valuation and we are continuing to grow our world-class team. Our long-term vision is to create the Autonomous Supply Chainreinventing how goods move through factories warehouses and last-mile distribution using next-generation intelligent robotic systems.
Nimble was founded out of Stanford and Carnegie Mellons top AI labs and is backed by the worlds most prestigious investors. Our board includes iconic leaders in AI and robotics such as Marc Raibert (Founder of Boston Dynamics) Fei-Fei Li (Former Chief Scientist of AI at Google Director of Stanfords AI lab) and Sebastian Thrun (Waymo Founder of Google X Kitty Hawk and Udacity).
Join us and leave your mark on the future of robotics AI and global commerce.

Position Overview
As a Software Engineer on the Multi-Agent Systems team you will design the algorithms and software that coordinate large fleets of robots operating in high-throughput real-world warehouse environments. Your work will directly influence robot efficiency safety and the overall capacity and scalability of our intelligent fulfillment systems.
You will architect high-performance distributed robotics software develop multi-robot planning and coordination capabilities and build simulation tools that allow us to test optimize and validate behaviors at scale. This role blends advanced algorithm design with real-world production engineering solving complex systems problems with concrete impact on warehouse throughput and robot performance.
If you enjoy building elegant reliable systems that orchestrate dozens or hundreds of robots simultaneously this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities
Architect Scalable Robotics Software
- Design and implement high-performance maintainable and fault-tolerant robotics software.
- Work independently across disciplines to diagnose issues evaluate alternatives and deliver robust technical solutions.
- Contribute to the architecture and evolution of Nimbles fleet management and multi-agent orchestration stack.
Develop Multi-Agent Robot Capabilities
- Build and improve algorithms for task planning multi-agent path planning and multi-robot coordination to maximize warehouse throughput.
- Create features that drive increased automation across workflows like picking packing sorting induction and routing.
- Design optimization algorithms that break down orders and workloads into robot tasks while minimizing congestion and idle time.
Analytical System Approach
- Analyze real production performance data to understand emergent system behavior uncover bottlenecks and verify the impact of new features.
- Use quantitative insights to inform prioritization algorithm design and long-term system improvements.
Technical Ownership
- Drive feature areas end-to-end: algorithm design implementation testing deployment and performance validation.
- Own software infrastructure continuous integration production debugging and on-call support for components you build.
- Participate in technical design reviews documentation and cross-functional alignment with hardware operations and cloud engineering teams.
- Help manage sprint planning backlog prioritization and feature launch coordination.
Qualifications
- Bachelors degree or higher in Computer Science Robotics Mathematics or related field.
- Strong software engineering background with 2-4 years of experience building production systems.
- Proficiency with at least one systems programming language (Rust preferred; C Go also relevant).
- Strong understanding of algorithms data structures and performance optimization.
- Ability to design and implement complex systems with high reliability and clarity.
- Demonstrated ability to work across a large codebase and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with multi-robot task planning routing or simulation systems.
- Knowledge of warehouse automation logistics software or large-scale distributed systems.
- Experience working with Rust.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure backend services or event-driven architectures.
