Founding Robotics Software Engineer

Boost Robotics is developing the next generation of autonomous systems that monitor and maintain the world’s digital infrastructure. Backed by Y Combinator , our team consists of former CMU Robotics and Boston Dynamics engineers who have worked on robot systems in defense, agriculture, logistics, and industrial inspection.

The mission? Bring dependable, intelligent robotics to some of the most important and fastest-growing infrastructures powering the world’s digital backbone - data centers.

The Role

As a Founding Robotics Software Engineer , you will

Build the core software that enables our robots to operate reliably.
Work across the robotics stack, based on interest, need, or both.
Write production-grade code with strong testing practices.
Build low-latency scalable frameworks for logging, telemetry, and monitoring.
Profile and deploy edge-optimized control and perception algorithms.
Travel to customer sites for robot deployments, and debug problems in the field.

What We’re Looking For

Background in Robotics, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering.

Experience deploying robots in high-reliability environments (AVs, drones, or industrial systems).

Familiarity with containerization, DevOps, or edge/cloud infrastructure.

Exceptional skills in C++ and Python, including performance optimization.

Strong systems-level thinking and comfort working with uncertainty or shifting priorities.

Experience with some or all of the following robotics topics:

Working with robotics sensors (Lidars, RGBD cameras, IMUs, etc.)
Localization and state estimation techniques
Classical robot controls (kinematics, motion planning)
Training perception models around 3D geometry and scene understanding

Bonus Points

MS or higher in robotics or a related field
Experience building data collection and training pipelines
Familiarity with robotics simulators (Isaac Sim, PyBullet, Gazebo)
History of web development and/or VR development
Contributions to open-source robotics frameworks or SDKs.

We’re not hiring for a checklist - we’re hiring for exceptional people. If you move fast, think deeply, and love building things that actually work, you’ll fit right in.

Why you’ll join us

There’s no instruction manual for what we’re building. There’s also no legacy code and no layers of approval - just engineers turning ideas into deployed, practical robots that keep the entire digital world online.

We’re friends and builders who hold the highest standards for ourselves and our work. Joining us means having a say in everything - the culture, the rituals, the engineering stack, and what our robots look like. You won’t just work here - you’ll help create what “here” means.

Compensation

We offer a competitive salary, startup equity, and health benefits, with relocation as needed.
