We are looking for a Senior C++ Software Engineer to help scale and productionize the core software infrastructure behind our robotics mapping platform. This role will focus on improving the architecture, robustness, maintainability, and deployment readiness of systems supporting large-scale facility scanning and robotics-enabled mapping workflows.
You will work closely with robotics engineers, mapping and localization specialists, and cross-functional deployment teams to evolve complex software systems into scalable, production-ready platforms capable of supporting enterprise customer environments.
This is a high-impact engineering role for someone who enjoys solving difficult systems problems, improving existing architectures, and operating in fast-moving environments where technical execution directly influences product delivery and operational success.
What You'll Do
Refactor and improve large-scale C++ and Python systems supporting robotics and mapping workflows
Improve software architecture, maintainability, scalability, and reliability across the platform
Support productionization and on-prem deployment initiatives
Optimize performance and operational robustness for deployment-critical systems
Collaborate with robotics, mapping, and deployment teams across multiple product lines
Debug and resolve complex systems and integration issues
Help establish engineering best practices, software quality standards, and scalable development patterns
Contribute to long-term technical strategy and platform evolution
Operate with high ownership in a fast-moving startup environment with evolving priorities and delivery timelines
What You Bring
Strong modern C++ experience in production environments
Strong software engineering fundamentals and systems thinking
Experience working within large or evolving codebases
Proven ability to refactor, scale, and improve existing systems
Experience debugging complex software and integration issues
Strong understanding of software architecture, maintainability, and performance optimization
Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-paced environments
Strong communication and collaboration skills
Ownership mentality with a bias toward execution and problem solving
What Sets You Apart
Experience working in robotics, autonomy, industrial automation, or mapping environments
Familiarity with point cloud processing, LiDAR systems, or robotics software stacks
Experience supporting production or on-prem enterprise deployments
Exposure to ROS2, robotics middleware, or distributed robotics systems
Experience balancing rapid development with long-term maintainability and scalability
Ability to bring structure and engineering rigor to fast-growing technical organizations
Strong judgment around pragmatic engineering tradeoffs in high-growth environments
