Why This Role Matters

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be a key contributor to the design, development, and optimization of high-performance, distributed software systems that power our next-generation robotic and automation platforms. We are specifically looking for engineers with hands-on Erlang experience, who can help us build robust, fault-tolerant systems at scale.

You will work in close collaboration with product managers, system architects, and cross-functional engineering teams to build solutions that are critical to warehouse automation, robotics orchestration, and real-time decision-making systems.

02
How You'll Contribute
  • Design and implement core modules in Erlang to build scalable, distributed systems.

  • Lead development of critical product features and solve complex system-level challenges.

  • Collaborate with architects to define low-level design and contribute to the technical roadmap.

  • Refactor and optimize existing algorithms and services for improved performance and reliability.

  • Review code, provide technical mentorship, and promote best coding practices within the team.

  • Use simulations and testing to validate system behavior and performance at scale.

03
What Makes You a Great Fit
  • 3+ years of professional software development experience with strong problem-solving skills.

  • Hands-on experience in Erlang preferred and a strong understanding of its concurrency model (processes, message passing, supervision trees).

    • or heavy experience with any of the following programming languages:

      • Erlang

      • Elixir

      • Gleam

      • Pony

      • Akka (Scala)

      • Haskell

  • Exposure to building and maintaining distributed, high-availability systems.

  • Experience with microservices architecture and REST-based APIs.

  • Solid knowledge of RDBMS/SQL and experience working with databases in production environments.

  • Understanding of software design principles, object-oriented programming, and system design patterns.

  • Familiarity with version control systems (Git or similar).

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field from a reputed institute.

  • Strong analytical and debugging skills with the ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

  • Clear, concise communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.

  • Work within a distributed systems environment — candidates must have prior experience in distributed or high-throughput operational systems (e.g., warehousing, e-commerce, distribution hubs, Amazon-style fulfillment environments).

Nice to Have

  • Background in real-time systems, telecom-grade architectures, or robotic platforms.

  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.).

04
Perks & Benefits
  • Comprehensive health and dental insurance

  • Retirement plans like a 401K

  • Time off benefits such as paid time off and maternity/paternity leave.

  • They also offer work-life balance support through flexible hours and hybrid work options, alongside professional growth opportunities in the form of training programs and job training.
