Responsibilities

• Build robust, high-performance backend services that coordinate fleets of autonomous systems with downstream components in C++ and Rust handling scenario execution, physics modeling, and autonomy
• Design and implement APIs, and data pipelines that power systems for the full mission lifecycle from design and planning to live operation and post-analysis debrief
• Shape the operator experience by contributing frontend components that visualize real-time sensor data and mission state, building interactive map overlays, telemetry dashboards, and mission planning interfaces
• Deploy and maintain services on Kubernetes infrastructure, ensuring reliability and performance
• Own the integration between applications, working with gRPC/protobuf and other platform primitives to create seamless workflows
• Collaborate closely with robotics engineers, autonomy specialists, and operators to translate sophisticated technical capabilities into reliable, performant features
• Identify bottlenecks and optimize specific features across the stack, from database queries and service latency to rendering performance
