Software Engineer

About the role

Blue Sky Robotics builds production-grade robotic systems deployed in real customer environments. We’re looking for a Software Engineer who can take ownership of core systems and help us scale from early deployments to large, distributed fleets.

What You'll Do

• Migrate our software stack to ROS2.
• Improve reliability and uptime across robots and infrastructure.
• Create architecture, tooling, and observability for large-scale deployments.
• Build an internal development suite that significantly reduces engineering cycle times.
• Create core software capabilities that are reusable across varied applications.

What We're Looking For

• A fast learner with strong analytical ability; able to absorb/create new ideas quickly.
• A high personal output and strong work ethic; excited about startup culture.
• A customer-obsessed mindset focused on delivering systems that solve real problems.
• A bias for action and ability to make progress with incomplete information.
• A strong ownership, high standards, and consistent delivery.
• An excellent communication and ability to work cross-functionally.

Technical Expectations

• Strong in Python and robotics software fundamentals.
• Experience with ROS2, controls, perception, C++, or distributed systems is a plus.
• Ability to quickly learn new tools and architectures and apply them independently.
• A skilled at building modular, reliable systems, including debugging, observability, and fault-tolerant design.
