Company

hirify.global is an AI robotics company developing Physical AI-powered robots for dull, dirty, and dangerous industrial work, with a focus on real-world deployment and scalability.

What you will do

• Design and implement shared software libraries and interfaces for robot commands, state, execution, compatibility, clients, examples, and documentation.
• Build reliable robot computing and runtime foundations, including target builds, configuration, startup, readiness, hardware integration, and recovery.
• Develop fleet and data services for robot health, telemetry, incident evidence, recording access, and software delivery over unreliable networks.
• Create developer tools and infrastructure for repeatable integration, deployment, diagnosis, and validation.
• Own substantial workstreams through design, implementation, integration, deployment, investigation, and improvement.
• At Staff level, lead cross-team architecture, migration, and adoption while collaborating across software and hardware boundaries.

Requirements

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong production programming, design, and debugging skills in C++, Python, Go, or comparable languages.
• Substantial experience with shared software interfaces, Linux/embedded systems, backend/distributed services, connected-device platforms, or developer infrastructure.
• Experience shipping and maintaining software used by engineers or users, with clear ownership of implementation and results.
• Ability to reason about state, asynchronous execution, failures, interfaces, and meaningful verification.
• Ability to work across disciplines, clarify unfamiliar assumptions, and learn new systems through practical engineering.
• Senior candidates must demonstrate independent ownership of substantial workstreams; Staff candidates must additionally demonstrate architectural impact across components and owners, hands-on delivery, and successful adoption.
• Requires 5 days/week in-office collaboration with the teams.

Nice to have

• Robotics, autonomy, hardware-integrated products, ROS 2, or comparable middleware.
• Embedded computing, target toolchains, runtime lifecycle, or on-device deployment and recovery.
• Stateful APIs, reusable client libraries, software compatibility, or interface migration.
• Device telemetry, reliable data delivery, observability, recording pipelines, or fleet operations.
• CI, hardware automation, developer tools, or reproducible release workflows.

Culture & Benefits

• Full-time U.S. position with competitive stock options or equity programs.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance plus a 401(k) plan.
• Visa sponsorship and green card support for qualified candidates.
• Lunches and dinners, a stocked kitchen, and regular team-building events.
