Software Engineer III, Autonomy SW Integrations

About Nimble

Nimble is an AI robotics company building the autonomous supply chain to power fast, efficient and economical commerce. We’re training robot AGI to power a proprietary generalist supply chain superhumanoid, the first robot in the world capable of performing thousands of tasks across the supply chain. We’ve raised over $220M at over $1B valuation and formed a strategic alliance with Fed Ex to build a national network of autonomous warehouses capable of generating many billions in annual revenue.

We are a hardcore and obsessed team of the world’s best engineers and operators. If you are obsessed with your craft, enjoy a high-intensity and fast moving high impact environment, are super high agency in getting hard things done and want to be part of building the world’s most legendary robotics company at the most pivotal moment in history, we want to work with you.

We are on a mission to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial. We will accomplish this by training robot AGI to invent and build the Autonomous Supply Chain – everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door – powered by generalist superhumanoids.

Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon and our board of directors include famed robotics and AI legends including Fei-Fei Li (Chief Scientist of AI at Google and Director of Stanford’s AI Lab), Marc Raibert (founder of Boston Dynamics), and Sebastian Thrun (founder of GoogleX, Waymo; Stanford Professor and considered the father of autonomous vehicles).

Let’s be legendary.

At Nimble, we are committed to building legendary products, a legendary team, and a legendary legacy. Join us and become part of an ambitious, humble, and resourceful culture where your work will leave a lasting impact on the future of robotics and commerce.

We are looking for a Software Engineer III to build the core software powering our next-generation autonomous robots. In this role, you will develop the systems that allow our robots to automate key warehouse functions with high performance and reliability. You will work across robotics and autonomy—building robust, production-grade software that scales as we deploy more robots into high-throughput warehouse operations.

You’ll collaborate closely with our AI, hardware, and infrastructure teams to integrate frontier AI capabilities into practical, real-world robotics systems and to continually improve system uptime, performance, and overall intelligence.

• Design and implement services that integrate external partner software into the Nimble stack, defining clear APIs and contracts.
• Optimize end-to-end warehouse throughput across Nimble software and partner automation systems.
• Build fault‑tolerant software with well-defined error handling and recovery behavior.
• Drive measurable improvements in autonomy quality, using data and operational metrics to iterate on task success rate, recovery behavior, and system reliability.
• Collaborate with hardware engineering to deliver seamless software–hardware integration for new robot platforms and upgrades.
• Lead technical design reviews and drive architecture decisions for core subsystems and features.
• Triage, diagnose, and resolve issues in production robotics systems.
  
  Mentor cross‑functional engineers and technicians, raising the bar on reliability, testing, and operational excellence.
• Build and maintain integrations with robot platforms, APIs, services, and data systems.
• Develop fault‑tolerant, fail‑safe robotic software and scalable systems.

• Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 2-4 years of experience in production‑level coding in C++, Python, or Rust.
• Demonstrated experience or knowledge of distributed…
