The posting

Who we are

Pronto AI is a global leader in commercializing autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, deploying Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS) that automate operations in mines, quarries, and construction sites worldwide. While much of the industry remains in R&D, we deliver real, production-ready autonomy that is already operating in the field.

We are on a mission to make mining operations safer, smarter, and more efficient through cutting-edge technology, and we are building toward becoming the world’s first profitable AV technology company.

What you’ll do

  • Test Platform & Infrastructure — Design and build the core test infrastructure: harnesses, fixtures, runners, orchestration, and test artifact management for our ZMQ/Cap'n Proto middleware stack
  • Simulation-Based Testing — Build the simulation infrastructure that lets us run autonomy software against virtual scenarios, with deterministic playback and meaningful coverage of real-world conditions
  • CI/CD for Robotics — Build and maintain the testing pipeline that gates code changes — unit, integration, simulation, and replay-based regression — and integrate it cleanly into the developer workflow
  • Log Replay & Recorded Scenario Testing — Build infrastructure that converts production logs into reproducible test cases the QA Engineer can curate and the dev team can run

What we’re looking for

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience, with significant work on testing infrastructure, developer tools, or distributed systems
  • Strong Python — you'll write substantial code, much of it touching production-adjacent infrastructure
  • Experience designing and building automation pipelines (CI/CD, test orchestration, build systems)
  • Deep familiarity with at least one large-scale software platform — comfortable thinking in terms of APIs, abstractions, and platform usability
  • Excellent debugging and systems thinking — you'll be reasoning about failures across simulation, networking, serialization, and CI infrastructure
  • Comfort building greenfield — much of what you'll work on does not exist today

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other safety-critical systems
  • Hands-on experience with simulation environments (Gazebo, CARLA, Isaac Sim, or proprietary)
  • Familiarity with pub/sub messaging systems (ZMQ, ROS, DDS) and binary serialization formats (Cap'n Proto, Protobuf)
  • C++ familiarity — enough to read and integrate against the autonomy stack
  • Cloud infrastructure experience for parallel test execution (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes)
  • Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing or real-time systems
  • Performance engineering background — you've debugged and optimized slow CI/test pipelines before

Technical Environment

  • Languages: Python
  • Test Frameworks: pytest, simulation-based
  • Infrastructure: Docker, GitHub Actions, cloud compute for simulation
  • Communication/Documentation: Slack, Notion

Example Projects

  • Build a simulation harness that runs the full autonomy stack against parameterized mining scenarios in cloud-based parallel execution
  • Design a log-to-test-case pipeline that ingests a production log fragment and produces a deterministic replay test the QA Engineer can add to a regression suite
  • Build a test platform dashboard that surfaces flaky tests, slow tests, and coverage gaps to the QA Engineer and developer lead

Why join us

  • Work on real, production-deployed autonomy.
  • Build technology that directly improves safety, efficiency, and productivity.
  • Tackle complex challenges in demanding, real-world environments.
  • Be part of a fast-moving team with high ownership and impact.
  • See your work deployed and making a difference in the field.
  • Collaborate closely with experienced engineers and industry operators.

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.
