Senior Backend Software Engineer, Robot Fleet Orchestration

The orchestration team builds the backend software that manages all of the work that needs to happen in a […] system: what every bot should work on, when, how and in what sequence; in addition to tracking the current state of the system and all of the work requests. We are constantly solving dynamically changing multi-agent path finding problems against a live fleet.

• Build backend software that coordinates a live fleet of bots, including planning collision-free and time-feasible routes across a shared operating space.
• Develop systems for assigning tasks to bots based on fleet state, task dependencies, timing constraints, and operational priorities.
• Implement planning logic for storage and retrieval workflows, including where payloads should be stored and what moves are required to access blocked or buried payloads.
• Support continuous replanning as work is added, canceled, reprioritized, or disrupted, while helping keep the fleet operating efficiently.
• Maintain accurate system state across […]’s digital model and the physical warehouse environment.
• Build recovery workflows for situations where the physical system and software state diverge, including blocked areas, maintenance zones, network drops, spills, or other unexpected events.
• Improve observability into planning cycles, task execution, and system behavior so engineers can debug issues and improve performance over time.
• Design and maintain backend services, APIs, an
