The posting

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Verne is building physical AI to make physical work as scalable as software and bring general-purpose robots to every business. We develop robots, foundation models, and the tools that turn them into reliable industrial deployments.

Our open-weight world action model, Verne V0.5 https://vernerobotics.com/research/verne-v0-5, brings together video and action learning. Alongside it, we build data and training systems, a fine-tuning platform, and inference and control software. Our work is grounded in real deployments: learning new tasks efficiently, adapting to different environments, and operating reliably in production.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a talented Software Engineer to design and build the core systems that power Verne’s robots in the real world. This is a hands-on role where your work will directly translate to physical robots performing customer-critical tasks. You’ll work across the full robotics software stack, from low-level sensor and actuator interfaces, to deploying large-scale policy learning pipelines, to shipping reliable features that customers depend on. Beyond just writing code, you’ll help design solutions, lead engineering efforts, and think cross-functionally to bridge hardware, machine learning, and product requirements.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Build and optimize robotics software in Python and C++, spanning device drivers, control interfaces, and high-level APIs that power real-world deployments.

- Integrate and deploy ML policies (PyTorch) into visuomotor control loops, ensuring efficient inference on edge hardware.

- Design and test training pipelines for policy learning, including dataset preparation, augmentation, and scaling across massive multi-modal datasets (video, teleop trajectories, sensor streams).

- Develop infrastructure for teleoperation and autonomy, including real-time data streaming, low-latency WebRTC systems, and fallback human-in-the-loop control.

- Prototype new robot capabilities by collaborating closely with the hardware and research teams, translating experimental ideas into production-ready features.

- Systematically evaluate and test policies through lab trials and live customer proofs of concept, measuring performance, robustness, and safety at scale.

- Contribute to cloud + edge scaling efforts, including AWS-based data ingestion pipelines, IoT fleet management, and distributed training/serving infrastructure.

- Take ownership of engineering projects end-to-end, from design discussions and architecture, to implementation, testing, and deployment in the field.

- Work cross-functionally with product, research, and customer teams to ensure the systems you build align with real-world needs and unlock tangible customer value.

QUALIFICATIONS

- B.S., M.S., Ph.D. in computer science or related fields.

- Strong programming skills in Python (you write clean, efficient, production-ready code)

- Solid experience with PyTorch and modern ML workflows

- Systems engineering skills (networking, concurrency, performance)

- At least 3 years of full-time work experience for candidates with a B.S. in related fields. 1 year of experience for M.S. or Ph.D. candidates.

- Experience with robotic arms, embedded systems, etc (e.g., Arduinos, motors, robot arms)

PREFERRED

- Experience with real-time systems (cameras, sensors, streaming)

- Hands-on with AWS services (EC2, IoT, WebRTC)

WHY JOIN US

At Verne, you won’t just be writing code, you’ll be shaping the future of physical AI. You’ll see your work run on real robots, in real customer environments, with immediate impact. You’ll join a small, world-class team where your contributions matter and your growth is accelerated.

DETAILS

- Location: South San Francisco, CA (on-site required)

- Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity

- Perks: Free meals vouchers, hardware access, health benefits, PTO

This is a rare chance to join a YC-backed robotics startup early and help build the foundation of the company. If you’re excited about robots, passionate about solving hard problems, and eager to see your work come alive in the real world — we’d love to hear from you.

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.
