Robotics Software Engineer

Job Title : Robotics Software Engineer

Location : Hybrid – Pune (Remote Considered)

Type : Full-time

About Destro AI :

Destro AI is building the global intelligence layer for robotics — the agentic decision-making brain that tells any robot what to do, when, and why across complex warehouse workflows. While most robotics companies focus on autonomy and sensors, Destro solves the real bottleneck :  robots don’t understand workflows.

Role Overview :

We’re looking for a Founding Software Engineer who can take ownership of our fragmented codebases — and productionize, integrate, and harden it into a robust, scalable, enterprise-ready solution that can run in both cloud and on-prem environments. This is a mission-critical role where you’ll work directly with the founding team, own deployment architecture, and prepare the stack for live enterprise pilot launches.

What You’ll Own :

Refactor MVP codebases into a unified, modular platform

Build backend APIs, scalable services, and data flows using Python

Own DevOps, CI / CD, and infrastructure for on-prem and cloud-native deployments

Containerize everything (Docker, Kubernetes)

Build secure auth, RBAC, and observability for production readiness

Implement real-time data processing, MQTT / gRPC APIs, Redis streams, etc.

Tech Stack (you should be fluent with most) :

Backend : Python, Node.js

Frontend : React, TypeScript

DevOps : Docker, Kubernetes

Cloud : AWS, GCP

CI / CD : GitHub Actions or similar

Infra : Linux, Postgres, MQTT, gRPC, Redis, APIs

Bonus : Robotics / IoT deployments, RTLS integration, or wearable UX

What We’re Looking For :

Have 2 - 4 years of experience in full stack / backend / devops roles

Have shipped real enterprise or infra products — bonus if in hybrid or on-prem setups

Know how to write good code across microservices and edge devices

Be excited to work on AI for the physical world, not just cloud dashboards

Care deeply about reliability, observability, and uptime

Be able to move fast, own outcomes, and work independently

Why Join Destro :

Real-world AI + Robotics

Global Tech Exposure : Work with ex-Dexterity, ex-HAI Robotics, and NYU alumni, alongside top US retailers and 3PLs

Equity + Ownership : As a founding engineer, you’ll earn meaningful equity and have massive technical say

Career-Defining Work : You’re building the brain that controls fleets of robots — from day one
