Founding Software Engineer

At Kovari, we're rethinking how physical work gets done in the age of robotics. We believe that robots capable of valuable, real-world labor are the new foundation for global prosperity.

We're developing general-purpose robots designed to take on the physical, repetitive work that keeps hotels running, starting with housekeeping and core hospitality workflows. By mastering this tractable domain, we're building the foundation for robots that will support an ever-expanding range of physical work.

Founded in San Francisco, Kovari is obsessed with rapid iteration, engineering rigor, and deploying real machines into real environments. The next decade will compress a century of progress in robotics, and we're looking for people who want to leave their fingerprints on that future.

We're looking for a founding software engineer to help build the software infrastructure that makes our robots work. This is a generalist role — you'll touch everything from low-level device communication to high-level system orchestration. You'll own critical plumbing that connects hardware, perception, planning, and learning into a coherent, deployable system.

Build and maintain the core software stack that runs on our robots — communication layers, state management, data transport, configuration, and deployment tooling.
