Lead Software Engineer, Data Platform

Job description

Founded by Eliot Horowitz, co-founder and former CTO of MongoDB, Viam is a novel robotics engineering platform that lets you configure, control, and manage robots intuitively and quickly. We’re inspiring a generation of engineers to solve complicated automation problems with our uniquely powerful suite of software tools. We’re a ~100-person company headquartered in New York City.

Building software for machines introduces challenges that traditional software systems rarely face. Devices operate in real-world environments, networks are unreliable, and software must interact with hardware, sensors, and real-time data.

Job requirements

  • Led engineering teams through hiring, coaching, performance management, and career development
  • Built and scaled backend, platform, or infrastructure systems in production
  • Shipped products across APIs, backend services, and user interfaces
  • Made sound architectural decisions and navigated tradeoffs around scale, reliability, and performance
  • Influenced product and technical direction through strong judgment and execution
  • Drove cross-functional projects from ambiguity to production
  • Worked on distributed systems, data-intensive systems, streaming pipelines, platform infrastructure, or ML infrastructure
  • This space has brand new challenges and we all have an appetite to learn
