TL;DR · Principal Platform Software Engineer

The Principal Platform Software Engineer joins the OCI Robotics Cloud team to develop a secure, scalable, cloud-native platform for managing heterogeneous robot fleets. You will own the architecture, design, and production execution of major platform components, including robot onboarding, identity, fleet management, and telemetry. Your daily work involves building AI-assisted, spec-driven onboarding workflows, defining secure APIs, and developing capabilities for VLM, VLA, and embodied AI technologies. You will utilize Python, Go, Java, or C++ alongside cloud-native tools like Kubernetes, containers, and CI/CD. The role addresses the technical challenge of transforming manual robot integration into scalable software engineering workflows by connecting simulation, operational data, and continuous learning loops to support autonomous systems across various industries.

What you'll do

  • Own the architecture, design, implementation, and evolution of a major Robotics Cloud service or platform component.
  • Drive projects end-to-end from requirements and technical design through implementation, testing, launch, and production operations.
  • Build scalable cloud-native services for robot onboarding, fleet management, telemetry, digital twins, and AI-powered robotics.
  • Define secure APIs, service contracts, SDKs, and edge interfaces to enable integration with robots from multiple vendors.
  • Develop AI-assisted, spec-driven robot onboarding capabilities including integration specifications, reusable adapters, and developer workflows.
  • Design systems that connect simulation, robot telemetry, evaluation, deployment, and continuous learning feedback loops.
  • Develop platform capabilities for integration with VLM/VLA, multimodal, embodied AI, and agentic robotics systems.
  • Apply an AI-native engineering process across design, implementation, testing, debugging, and documentation to maintain production-quality standards.

What we're looking for

  • Applicants must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field.
  • 7+ years of software development experience building backend services, distributed systems, cloud platforms, or related production systems.
  • Strong programming skills in one or more languages such as Python, Go, Java, or C++.
  • Experience designing and building REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
  • Experience with cloud-native technologies including Kubernetes, containers, CI/CD, and container orchestration.
  • MS in Computer Science, Robotics, AI/ML, or a related field (preferred).
  • Experience with robotics frameworks, simulation environments, or AI/ML for robotics tasks (preferred).
