About Standard Bots

At Standard Bots, we're revolutionizing real-world automation by making robotic systems accessible to everyone. Our platform enables robots to tackle unprecedented challenges through an intuitive instruction interface, bringing the power of software automation to physical spaces.

About the Role

We're seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure & Developer Tooling to lead and scale the core infrastructure and internal tooling that power our robot deployment and development lifecycle. This high-impact role blends distributed systems, DevOps, and developer experience to support mission-critical robotics operations. You’ll serve as the technical lead for infrastructure efforts and will likely lead 1–2 other engineers, with the opportunity to grow into a broader leadership role as the team expands.

You’ll own key initiatives that ensure our robots are securely deployed, monitored, and updated at scale, while also enabling fast and reliable development across the engineering org. This is a unique opportunity to shape the foundational systems of a fast-moving robotics company from the ground up.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead Infrastructure Development:

    • Design and implement scalable infrastructure for robot deployment pipelines

    • Build and maintain systems for automated robot software updates and provisioning

    • Develop robust CI/CD pipelines and environment management workflows

  • Scale our multi-cloud infrastructure with an emphasis on:

    • Robot fleet management and telemetry

    • Secure robot-cloud communication

    • Cloud resource cost efficiency and availability

  • Own Observability and Reliability by implementing and evolving observability systems to:

    • Monitor robot fleet health, uptime, and usage

    • Track system performance and deployment success rates

    • Detect, alert, and diagnose production infrastructure issues automatically

  • Lead Developer Tooling Efforts:

    • Build internal tools to improve developer workflows, testing, and release velocity

    • Define and promote engineering best practices through tooling, automation, and documentation

    • Support environment provisioning, local dev experiences, and standardized testing environments

  • Drive Security and Compliance:

    • Design and maintain secure infrastructure systems, including:

      • Identity and access management (IAM), authentication, and secrets management

      • Network security for robot-cloud interactions

      • Incident response and security auditing tools

  • Collaborate Across the Organization:

    • Work closely with software engineers, QA, Solutions, and Assembly Tech teams to understand technical pain points and infrastructure needs

    • Advocate for engineering efficiency and reliability through process and platform improvements

This role is a strong fit if you:

  • Have 7+ years of software engineering experience, including leadership in DevOps and infrastructure projects

  • Have a proven track record with CI/CD systems, distributed systems, and developer tooling

  • Are experienced with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and Kubernetes

  • Bring a strong understanding of security best practices in cloud-native environments

  • Have experience implementing and scaling monitoring, logging, and alerting systems

  • Are passionate about building platforms that support world-class engineering teams

  • Have an interest in robotics and automation (robotics experience not required)

Tech Stack

  • Python

  • NodeJS / TypeScript

  • React

  • Docker

  • Kubernetes

  • Terraform

Compensation and Benefits:

View company profile

We founded Standard Bots because we believe that automation can lead to a better world. By performing time-consuming, repetitive, and dangerous tasks, robotics gives us more time to be creative, spend time with loved ones, and chase our dreams.

Though the potential of this technology is immense, when we looked around we saw a broken robotics market — one with enormous upfront costs, excessively complex software, and outdated support systems that make it impossible for many business to take advantage of automation’s vast benefits.

So we assembled a team of experts to build a new robot, write custom software for it, and develop a new kind of subscription model that opens the world of automation to everyone.

Expanding access to robotics doesn’t end when our customers receive their product either. We are committed to offering the best ongoing support to keep every RO1 operating at the cutting edge.

Automation will define our future, so it must be widely available and applied toward a noble mission. We’ve taken the first step, and we’re just getting started.

Experience

We're a team of engineers, artists, educators, and roboticists who love finding simple solutions to hard technical challenges. We're working at the forefront of what's possible, with others who are equally passionate about making their mark on the world.

Our team has:

  • Built three robotic arms for NASA

  • Started a $2b+ vertical farming company

  • Earned 4th Place in DARPA Robotics Challenge

  • Led the fastest growing sales team at UR and was the top salesperson at all of KUKA USA

  • Wrote one of the most-used open-source robotics packages

  • Taught thousands of people to build electric car powertrains and battery management systems

  • Led teams at top tech companies, like Stripe and Slack
