Senior Robot Infrastructure Engineer

About the Company

At Skild AI, we are building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence that is robust and adapts to unseen scenarios without failing. We believe massive scale through data-driven machine learning is the key to unlocking these capabilities for the widespread deployment of robots within society.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain production-grade C++ and Go running directly on robotic platforms
• Build on-device systems for interfacing with core robotics software and managing local data buffering
• Architect and maintain secure, low-latency edge-to-cloud data pipelines
• Design, build, and operate OTA update mechanisms for safely deploying software updates to robots
• Build telemetry, alerting, logging, and monitoring tools across the robot operating system and cloud infrastructure
• Optimize edge software for reliability, performance, and resource usage
• Collaborate with autonomy, hardware, deployment, and web product teams
• Continuously improve fleet reliability, observability, and uptime

Requirements

• Strong production programming experience in C++ and Go
• Experience deploying, operating, or managing connected hardware, IoT devices, or robotic systems at scale
• Experience architecting and managing cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP IoT Core, EC2, S3, Lambda)
• Deep understanding of networking protocols like MQTT, WebSockets, or gRPC
• Demonstrated experience building or managing OTA update systems for edge devices
• Strong systems-level understanding of edge computing constraints (CPU, memory, storage, power)
• Experience building fleet observability systems including telemetry and monitoring
• Focus on reliability, fault tolerance, and safe operation of deployed systems
