The posting

About Us

At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it. Next is loading trucks, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to join our Software Architecture team and build the systems that enable robots to operate reliably in the real world. You’ll work at the intersection of backend engineering, software architecture, and robotics — designing scalable services that support task planning, autonomy, and real robotic workflows on the warehouse floor. This is an opportunity to apply strong software engineering practices to systems where your work directly interacts with the physical world and the hardware running it.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build backend services supporting task planning and autonomy
  • Develop scalable, reliable, high-performance systems in Python (and C++ where needed).
  • Contribute to system architecture and service design within the team
  • Help architect how data flows through the system — how it's stored, moved, and ultimately consumed
  • Design architectural solutions and develop scalable, reliable, and performant systems (Python and/or C++) that stay maintainable over the long term
  • Collaborate closely with robotics engineers to integrate backend systems with real-world workflows
  • Build and maintain event-driven systems and messaging-based architectures
  • Improve system performance, reliability, and maintainability across services
  • Participate in code reviews and technical discussions to elevate engineering standards
  • Share knowledge across the team and elevate engineering standards through code reviews and technical discussions

What You'll Bring

  • 3-5+ years of experience in backend or robotics engineering
  • Strong programming experience in Python
  • Strong understanding of software architecture, concurrency, and distributed system design specifically related to robotics or adjacent fields (e.g. medical devices, or other systems that require Hardware <> Software integration)
  • Proficiency in at least one other strongly typed language — C++ preferred, though others used in robotics (e.g., Rust, Go, Java) are welcome
  • Experience building or supporting event-driven systems, messaging frameworks, or service-oriented architectures
  • A clear communicator who can work independently and help teammates grow
  • Experience with real-time systems
  • Experience managing large volumes of data
  • Deep knowledge of robotics middleware (e.g., ROS, Zenoh, DDS)
  • Deep knowledge of GPUs (CUDA, warp)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
