Software Engineer, Orchestration Platform

Destro AI is building the intelligence layer for robotics — the system that tells robots and humans what to do across complex real-world operations.

Founded by former leaders from HAI Robotics, Dexterity, and Matic, Destro is built on a simple thesis: robotics has solved movement, but not decision-making.

At the core of Destro is MothershipOS — a centralized brain that coordinates robots, humans, and workflows in real time. Unlike traditional systems that rely on local intelligence on each robot, Destro brings global intelligence across the entire operation.

We recently closed our Seed round at one of the highest valuations for a robotics company at this stage, and are already working with large enterprise operators to deploy real systems in production environments.

We recently closed our Seed round at one of the highest valuations for a robotics company at this stage, and are already working with large enterprise operators to deploy real systems in production environments.

This is the most senior engineering hire we will make this year, and the person in it will shape how Destro builds software for the next several years.

We got to production fast. What exists today is a set of services that were built separately, under deadline, to win pilots — and they work, but they were never designed to be one system. There is no unified architecture across them, no consistent versioning or release discipline, no automated way to push an update to a customer site, thin test coverage, and not enough telemetry to know a site is degrading before the customer calls.

You are being hired to bring those services together into a single, coherent, production-grade platform that scales across sites — and to build the version control, release, and deployment discipline underneath it. Not through a rewrite; customers depend on this system every day. Through consolidation, hardening, and doing it in the right order.

You will start hands-on in the codebase. As the team grows, you will grow into leading it.

This role is ideal for someone who is equally comfortable:

• unifying disparate services into one architecture,
• building the CI, versioning, release, and observability layer from nothing,
• refactoring live code without breaking customers,
• working across engineering, deployment, and product to sequence the work,
• and leading and growing a software team.

We are specifically looking for engineers who have built and shipped inside robotics companies. This is not a domain you can pick up on the job here — the failure modes of a robot fleet running live in a warehouse are not the failure modes of a web platform, and we need someone who already knows the difference.

• Bring today's separate services into one coherent platform with clear service boundaries, shared data contracts, and consistent interfaces
• Design for scale: multi-site, multi-tenant, and multi-vendor robot fleets from day one
• Eliminate duplicated logic, one-off scripts, and per-site special cases
• Own the technical roadmap that takes us from the current architecture to the target one, incrementally and without downtime

• Establish real version control discipline: branching strategy, code review standards, semantic versioning, release branches, and change tracking
• Build a repeatable, automated path from commit to running on customer hardware
• Implement over-the-air update push across cloud and on-site edge compute — staged rollouts, device provisioning, version pinning per site, and a rollback path that…
