Backend Software Engineer – Software Architecture
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
- Own the design and implementation of backend projects, working independently with strategic guidance
- Help the architect understand how data flows through the system — how it's stored, moved, and ultimately consumed
- Design architectural solutions and develop scalable, reliable, and performant systems (Python and/or C++) that stay maintainable over the long term
- Build and maintain event-driven, messaging-based architectures
- Collaborate closely with robotics engineers to integrate backend systems with real-world workflows
- Share knowledge across the team and elevate engineering standards through code reviews and technical discussions
