Do you want to be part of building the next generation of robots and see those robots out in the real world? If so, consider joining us at PickNik as a Full Stack Web Engineer.

PickNik Robotics is the company behind MoveIt Pro, a software platform that combines AI and advanced motion planning to make robots work in the real world. We're focused on pushing the boundaries of robotics — and showing what’s possible when robots are powered by great software. PickNik has taken our learnings from the past 10 years - working with Google, Amazon, Samsung, BMW, Lockheed Martin, NASA, and many startups - and distilled that knowledge into MoveIt Pro. Join us in helping companies deploy AI to robots fast and effectively, opening up new possibilities only limited by our customer’s imagination.

As a Full Stack Web Engineer at PickNik you’ll be developing web-based front end development tools used by roboticists to configure robots, design applications, and debug performance. You will be joining a team of highly skilled and passionate robot developers in order to enable the next generation of robots around the world and in outer space. Responsibilities include developing software in TypeScript and React that powers robot control, 3D visualization of robot environments, and real-time monitoring. You'll make decisions on software design and implementation while working closely with our Python/FastAPI backend and ROS-based robotics systems. This role offers a path towards technical leadership and engineering management for the right candidate - we're looking for someone with both the experience and the drive to grow into that responsibility as our team scales.
