Do you want to get in on the ground floor of a fast growing VC-backed robotic automation company? Join Pickle Robot! We’re a diverse team of ~50 full-time employees teaching off-the-shelf robot arms how to pick (get it?) & sort parcels. Our goal is to work alongside people in the very messy world of the warehouse & loading dock, reducing the backbreaking human effort that goes into getting e-commerce orders to your door. Video This year we’re moving beyond development & testing to an even more exciting stage: deploying our robots across North America. That’s where you come in.
As a Lead Software Engineer at Pickle Robot, you will work in a small team of engineers using agile processes to build flexible, configurable software for parcel handling robots. In this position, you will be responsible for developing cloud services and infrastructure to help us manage and coordinate our growing fleet of robots.
Responsibilities
- Software Architecture - you’ll design, develop, and deploy code across multiple environments (cloud, robot, web interfaces)
- Hands-on Technical Contributions - much of this role involves coding across our software stack to drive our product and engineering goals.
- Technical Mentorship - You'll engage in code reviews and lead technical design sessions, while also providing guidance and coaching to junior engineers
- Process Improvement - We value iteration in both software and process, and you will be an active participant in helping us improve both technically as well as operationally.
- Being Glue - we’re still a relatively small team, so we’ll need you to be comfortable working across a variety of initiatives. This could include contributing to new projects, designing new features, optimizing and refactoring code, researching new technologies, responding to production issues, or modifying infrastructure.
About you

- Leading iterative development initiatives from ideation through implementation
- Backend technologies such as Node.js, Python or Golang
- Frontend technologies such as React and Typescript
