About Us
Furtual is pioneering the next generation of home robotics for pets. Our AI-powered system combines real-time perception, SLAM, and intelligent behavior tracking to enhance human-pet interaction. We are a fast-moving, highly innovative team with a bold vision — and we're looking for a technical leader to join us on this journey. Role Overview
We are seeking a 2nd Backend Engineer with strong expertise in SLAM, robotics, and backend systems . You will play a key role in designing, implementing, and scaling the core perception and navigation pipelines of our robotic platform.
You'll work closely with AI engineers, firmware developers, and product designers to bring cutting-edge robotics to life. Responsibilities
- Lead the design, development, and optimization of backend systems for robotics perception and SLAM pipelines.
- Implement and maintain real-time SLAM, mapping, and localization algorithms .
- Integrate robotics perception with cloud-based data pipelines and AI / LLM modules.
- Collaborate with AI / ML teams to deploy, monitor, and improve models.
- Mentor and guide junior engineers, setting coding standards and best practices.
- Ensure robust, scalable, and efficient system architecture.
