Meet our software engineers!

Meet some of our software engineers who are shaping the future of autonomy and delivering world-class solutions helping customers shorten time to market. Hear about what brought them to Applied Intuition, what’s kept them interested, and their advice to potential candidates.

About the role

We are looking for bright engineers interested in designing elegant solutions to difficult problems in the autonomy space. Our software engineers work across our suite of products, tackling difficult full-stack, infrastructure, robotics, and graphics problems. At Applied Intuition, we encourage engineers to take ownership over technical and product decisions, interact closely with users to collect feedback, and contribute to a thoughtful, dynamic team culture.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

  • Work across our entire stack to develop new products, features, and tools for our customers' autonomy development workflows

  • Have an unparalleled opportunity to work with domain experts across a variety of fields: infrastructure, robotics, and graphics engineers, as well as startup veterans

  • Carve out your own area of expertise and influence product decisions

  • 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:

  • 4+ years of experience shipping complex software

  • Demonstrated ability to be a self-starter and can quickly become comfortable with new technical tools

  • Designed efficient and effective solutions to a wide range of engineering challenges

  • Proven ability to take initiative in a fast-paced environment

  • US citizenship and eligibility for security clearance.

Nice to have:

  • Working knowledge of frontend, API layer, containerization, or cluster orchestration frameworks (such as React, GraphQL, Docker, or Kubernetes)

  • Experience working with simulation tools, modeling physical problems, or using robotics middlewares (such as ROS)

  • Experience writing Python, C++, Javascript, or Golang
