Software Engineer, Fleet Management

What You'll Do

• Implement and improve job scheduling, vehicle routing, traffic management, and fleet orchestration algorithms in Go — including task assignment, path planning, conflict resolution, dynamic replanning, and resource allocation
• Explore and apply AI and ML techniques to improve scheduling, routing, anomaly detection, and operational decision-making
• Build and maintain integrations with industrial equipment, MES systems, and other internal platforms that connect fleet management to the broader factory automation stack
• Contribute to frontend tooling that gives factory operators real-time visibility into fleet status, scheduling decisions, and system health
• Write comprehensive tests for algorithmic correctness, edge cases, and performance
• Design and improve observability: metrics, logging, tracing, and dashboards that make fleet behavior transparent and debuggable
• Collaborate with firmware engineers to ensure fleet-level decisions translate to correct vehicle behavior, and contribute to robot control software when needed

What You'll Bring

• 3+ years of software engineering experience with strong foundations in algorithms, data structures, and systems design
• Deep interest or experience in robotics, multi-agent systems, fleet management, logistics optimization, or operations research — you can reason about graph algorithms, optimization problems, and state machines
• Strong proficiency in Go; working familiarity with the broader stack: GraphQL, gRPC, NATS or Kafka, SQL (MySQL), Docker, and Kubernetes
• Comfortable working with distributed systems concepts: real-time messaging, event-driven architectures, state management, and eventual consistency
• Product-minded — you think about the user’s experience, not just the engineering solution, and consider how factory operators and engineers will interact with what you build
• Experience building user-facing features, SRE practices, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure automation is a plus — the team owns its full stack and build tooling end-to-end
• Experience with fleet management, warehouse automation, industrial automation systems, robotics controls, or hardware-software integration is a plus
