, is a technology company focused on the development and deployment of robots designed specifically for direct‑to‑customer food production. Our mission is to revolutionize the food industry by creating innovative robotic solutions that enhance efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction. We are passionate about pushing the boundaries of technology to deliver cutting‑edge products that meet the evolving needs of our clients.

Build the software platform that connects kitchen teams, cloud services, and robotic production systems. As a Senior Full‑Stack Software Engineer, you will own significant product and technical areas from definition through production. You will work across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure, integrations, and robot‑adjacent interfaces. You will partner closely with product, culinary, operations, robotics, firmware and mechanical teams to turn ambiguous operational problems into reliable software.

We are looking for someone who is deeply hands‑on, enjoys solving challenging technical problems, and takes ownership from design through production. You’ll collaborate with experienced engineers across disciplines while helping raise the quality, reliability, and maintainability of our software.

• Own and deliver complex full‑stack initiatives spanning user interfaces, backend services, cloud infrastructure, and external integrations.
• Design and implement scalable solutions for new product capabilities.
• Partner directly with product, culinary, and operations teams to understand workflows, clarify requirements, and define pragmatic solutions.
• Build software for configuring, observing, and managing kitchen operations, including order intake, menus, recipes, tasks, alerts, and performance visibility.
• Integrate with delivery and commerce platforms to receive orders, synchronize menus, and communicate order state.
• Create and integrate operator‑facing and robot‑adjacent interfaces used in physical production environments.
• Work alongside firmware and robotics engineers to ensure cohesive system functionality.
• Own projects through rollout and production support, including testing, observability, incident diagnosis, and iterative improvement.
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and technical discussions to improve software quality.
• Share knowledge with teammates and contribute to engineering best practices.

• 3+ years of strong software engineering experience, including ownership of complex systems or initiatives across multiple components.
• Deep experience designing and delivering production software.
• Deep experience in at least one backend language;
  Go experience is valuable but not required.
• Strong frontend engineering skills with modern Type Script frameworks;
  Vue experience is helpful but not required.
• Experience designing APIs, services, data models, and asynchronous or event‑driven workflows.
• Strong product judgment and the ability to translate real operational problems into simple, usable software.
• Deep experience building reliable, maintainable software systems.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including design documents, technical proposals, operational playbooks, and cross‑functional alignment.
• Comfort working across boundaries and collaborating with both technical and non‑technical partners.
• Enjoy collaborating with teammates and sharing technical knowledge.

• AWS services, distributed systems, databases, queues, and cross‑region architectures.
• Docker, Kubernetes, Protobuf, Python, Terraform, Git, and continuous delivery systems.
• Simulation environments, mocked or simulated backend services, and integration testing.
• SQL, analytics platforms, operational dashboards, or data‑intensive product development.
• Software that interacts with hardware, robotics, logistics, manufacturing, fulfillment, or other physical operations.
• Building internal tools or operational software used in high‑availability, real‑time environments.

• High ownership:
  Own meaningful product and technical areas rather than a narrow component.
• Real‑world impact:
  Your software directly affects physical production…
