Senior Software Engineer, Middleware Productivity

Job description

We are looking for an engineer to join our Middleware team with a passion for helping other teams move fast and fearless, and who appreciates the impact multiplier of that work.

Our middleware is an in-house design focused on efficiency and low latency/jitter. Delivering over 200,000 messages per second between 190 nodes on each robot, zero-copy and lock-free. We work hard to provide abstractions that make using it a pleasant experience for all teams at the company.

Figure is an AI robotics company developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots. The goal of the company is to ship humanoid robots with human level intelligence.

Job responsibilities

  • Design and build the core framework and infrastructure the robot runs on.
  • Work directly with client teams to understand how they use it and where it gets in their way.
  • Turn that understanding into better abstractions and tooling.

Job requirements

  • At least 7 years of experience building production software in C++
  • Mastery of Modern C++ (>20).
  • Familiarity with Python.
  • Experience working on embedded systems and timing sensitive environments.
  • Intimate understanding of the interface between the Linux kernel and userspace applications.
  • Passion for developing well tested frameworks and infrastructure that just works day in and day out for years to come.
  • Motivated by working directly with other teams to understand their needs.
  • Experience building frameworks and infrastructure with large user bases.
