Starship Technologies is revolutionizing deliveries with autonomous robots. These robots are designed to deliver food, groceries, and packages across college campuses and neighborhoods in minutes. Starship has now completed millions of autonomous deliveries to date, traveled millions of miles, and is currently doing more than 140k road crossings each day. Our contribution to society includes reducing congestion, and pollution, providing zero-emissions deliveries, increasing the quality of life for residents, empowering seniors and disabled people, and enabling affordable delivery for local businesses.

We’re hitting records on an almost weekly basis. Now is an exciting time to join as we grow rapidly around the world!

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team that builds the platform services to bridge the robots to the cloud. Not just the lowest levels of infrastructure but creating the building blocks that other Starship teams use to build a business.

In this role you will develop backend software that keeps the robots connected and enables cloud services to interact with the robots and hardware infrastructure. This includes enabling remote control of the robot, processing streaming video as well as planning routes and capturing events and driving data.

Your main responsibilities are:

• Developing software and robot infrastructure services. Go and Kubernetes in the cloud. Rust on the robot
• Participation in all aspects of the software development - from ideas to production and everything in between
• End to end ownership of services in Core scope - this also means occasionally being on-call and responding to incidents

What’s in it for you?

• Opportunity to work on industry-leading self-driving delivery robot technology on a uniquely large scale, creating history and making things happen
• You can immerse yourself in the world of technology and innovation
• You will have a chance to work with people with a strong inner burning and motivation. We are self-aware and seek feedback and improvement. We don’t want to wait until we are told what needs to be done but take it as a matter of pride to figure out solutions for topics in various teams and areas
• You’ll have endless opportunities to learn from our inspirational, talented team members across the globe

What we hope you’ll bring to the table:

• Excellent software development skills. Our preferred languages are Go and Rust but we also have some Javascript, Python and even Elixir in the mix
• Experience working with distributed systems. Understanding of reliability, scalability and consistency tradeoffs
• Good code reading skills. You will be working with systems that you have never seen before
• It is a plus if you have a good understanding of networking and protocols
