Backend Software Engineer – Autonomy
Job description
At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it. Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.
Job responsibilities
- Design and build backend services supporting task planning and autonomy
- Develop scalable, reliable, and performant systems using Python (and C++ where needed)
- Contribute to system architecture and service design within the team
- Build and maintain event-driven systems and messaging-based architectures
- Collaborate closely with robotics engineers to integrate backend systems with real-world workflows
- Improve system performance, reliability, and maintainability across services
- Participate in code reviews and technical discussions to elevate engineering standards
