  • Collaborate with other members in the autonomy ecosystem and learn about different approaches to solving core issues in autonomy

We're looking for someone who has:

  • 3+ years of experience shipping complex software

  • Experience in Python or Golang, with strong backend engineering experience

  • Interest in unifying systems and working across domains

  • Dealt with similar workflows in the past, regarding the calculation, export and persistence of metrics/numerical data

Nice to have:
