Founding Software Engineer

Mbodi AI is a company focused on making industrial robots learn new skills through AI software. They are seeking a Founding Software Engineer who will work on core systems that translate camera input into software representations and orchestrate agents for real-time robotics control.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement the distributed execution layer that coordinates robot agents, validators, and skill runners across work cells
• Own the concurrency model for the platform, from scheduling and synchronization to failure recovery
• Build the real-world representation layer that turns camera input (objects, positions, states) into a live, persistent picture the system can reason over
• Write performance-critical runtime components in C that turn design-time agent reasoning into deterministic, low-latency execution
• Develop the TypeScript interfaces and APIs that surface robot status, task state, and live feedback to operators
• Instrument the system for observability, including tracing, latency profiling, and failure analysis across a distributed fleet
• Work closely with ML and robotics engineers to keep the execution layer and the learning loop tightly coupled
