Backend Software Engineer (Go)

—our intelligent operating system for robotics. At our core is Machine Intelligence (MujinMI), a unique approach that leverages real-time digital twins and advanced perception, planning, and control algorithms to achieve fully autonomous operations.

A Quick Overview of What This Role Entails

Mujin Portal is a cloud-based product that enables customers and Mujin engineers to manage and support Mujin robotic systems deployed across multiple sites.

With Portal continuing to expand, the team is focused on both new product capabilities and scaling the platform to support a growing fleet of connected Mujin Controllers. This includes areas such as controller connectivity and remote access, data synchronization and storage, backups, monitoring and dashboards, virtual controllers, and customer support workflows.

As a Backend Software Engineer, you will design and develop backend services that power these capabilities. You will work with large volumes of data generated by connected robotic systems and take ownership of services and features from design through implementation and ongoing improvement.
