Key skills for this role
We’re hiring a Founding Robotics Software Engineer to own our navigation stack end-to-end. This is a core, full-time problem — not a side project. You’ll be responsible for making our robot reliably understand and move through real environments.
We’re transforming the world’s ~50 million software engineers into robotics engineers by building a full-stack platform—hardware, software, infra, and ML—designed from first principles for performance, usability, and cost. Low expense is a design goal, not a constraint.
By transforming commodity, mass-manufactured components through disciplined engineering, we deliver robots that are reliable, high-performance, and inexpensive to build and operate. We believe fewer than 1,000 engineers globally can reason about robotics as a true vertically-integrated system, and we’re assembling a small team of them to build an accessible, developer-first robotics platform.
We’re backed by an amazing group of investors, co-led by Fifty Years (Scott Phoenix) and BoxGroup , with participation from Betaworks and Pace Capital , plus standout angels including Logan Kilpatrick (Google AI), Mohith Mothukuri (Physical Intelligence), and Guillermo Rauch (Vercel).
Bracket Bot is building a low-expense, high-performance robotics platform ready for real-world deployment.
