Company

hirify.global develops autonomous robotic platforms for logistics and material handling.

What you will do

• Lead and scale a robotics software team across autonomy, perception, firmware and motor controls, simulation, and safety-critical software.
• Own end-to-end software architecture, repository governance, code ownership, review requirements, testing, verification, and engineering standards.
• Run a predictable release process balancing rapid iteration with qualified, field-ready releases.
• Scale deployments across customer sites through commissioning playbooks, configuration management, and robust navigation and perception.
• Guide navigation, motion planning, sensor fusion, localization, and perception across a heterogeneous fleet.
• Partner with hardware, product, program, and deployment teams to support customer facilities and align software delivery with hardware timelines.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience building robotics or embedded software, including 5+ years leading and scaling engineering teams.
• Experience deploying the same autonomous mobile robot system across multiple customer sites and hardening it for site variability, commissioning, configuration, and integration differences.
• Experience interfacing autonomous mobile robots or industrial robots with middleware, traffic managers, and/or warehouse management systems.
• Deep technical grounding in motion planning and controls, perception and sensor fusion, localization, real-time and embedded systems, and robot middleware such as ROS.
• Experience owning cloud fleet infrastructure, including remote deployment, observability, and data pipelines for distributed fleets.
• Working knowledge of functional-safety standards for mobile robotics, including ISO 13849, ISO 3691-4, and ANSI R15.08.

Nice to have

• Experience in freight, logistics, material handling, or warehouse automation.
• Experience with Robotics-as-a-Service or hardware-plus-software products.
• Exposure to defense or government programs and their documentation and process requirements.
• Fluency with AI-assisted or agentic development workflows.
• Experience with embedded Linux on edge-compute devices and edge-to-cloud deployment.

Culture & Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity in an early-stage robotics company.
• Health, dental, and vision benefits.
• Permissive time-off policy.
• Small team with direct, visible impact on shipped products.
