Palo Alto · On-site · Full-time · Posted Aug 24, 2026
About the job
Leads hands-on development of deployment, CI/CD, testing, observability, and fleet-management systems that safely deliver and monitor software across field-deployed robots.
What you'll do
- Architect fleet-wide software delivery, including OTA packages, staged rollouts, rollback, and configuration management.
- Build fleet observability and management systems for diagnostics, robot health, inventory, versions, and deployment status.
- Own build and CI/CD infrastructure, pre-deployment validation, and technical standards and reviews.
What they ask for
- Strong software engineering in Python and/or Rust/C++, with experience building developer-productivity tools and services.
- Experience building backend services and APIs for device fleets, including OTA delivery, rollout orchestration, device-state tracking, and remote configuration.
- Experience with hardware-attached system testing, simulation-based regression, and CI/CD gates beyond unit tests.
- Experience with observability for edge or field deployments, build and packaging systems, containerization, and edge orchestration; track record of making deployment/testing reliable as fleets grow.
Nice to have
- Exposure to functional safety concepts relevant to physical systems.
- Background in electric vehicle OTA, industrial IoT, or similar fleet-management domains; experience scaling deployment/testing infrastructure.
