As a Full Stack Software Engineer on the Spot team at Boston Dynamics, you’ll be responsible for improving and maintaining our custom robot fleet management software. Your work will help define how our customers - internal and external - manage their ever growing numbers and species of robots across multiple industries.

To thrive in this role, you’ll enjoy working collaboratively with a variety of peers in a dynamic, fast-moving organization. Ideal candidates will have strong full-stack web skills, a demonstrated ability to communicate about complex technical topics, and a flexible mindset. 

Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications and warehouse logistics.  

Day-to-Day Activities will include:

  • Rapidly develop and deploy new features, while still preserving a high quality and maintainability bar.

  • Collaborate with peers - other engineers, product, and operations - to understand key pain points and develop possible solutions.

  • Assess incoming work and proactively identify potential solutions for the root problem. 

  • Debug and resolve issues as they arise, and perform post-mortem analysis to reduce likelihood of future problems.

  • Document and communicate new work to help get it widely adopted.

Desired Experience:

  • Bachelors in Computer Science or equivalent.

  • Experience in some or all of the expected tech stack: React.js, Typescript, node.js, Three.js, SQL, C++, Python, Linux, AWS/GCP, protobuf. Android experience a strong plus.

  • Demonstrated project work, whether hobbyist or professional. You should be able to talk about decisions made during projects in detail.

  • Strong debugging and analysis skills. Demonstrated ability to reason about complex systems.

  • Experience delivering complete software products - from feature requirements through support - highly desired.

  • Prior experience working with hardware, IoT, and/or 3D engines is ideal, but not necessary for this role.

We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas for this position.
