Systems Engineer (Rust)
About us:
We’re a Series A company building intelligent, endearing robots for consumer use at home. The home autonomy space has been dramatically overlooked when it comes to robotics. While the last decade has seen an influx of companies promising self-driving cars and intelligent humanoids, none are delivering these solutions reliably or affordably. Meanwhile, regular people are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores.
At Matic, we're leveraging advanced technology to address this problem. We've started by reimagining what autonomous floor cleaning robots can achieve using AI and computer vision with our flagship product. From there, our goal is to continue automating other forms of household labor, shipping realistic, affordable, and privacy-first robots to our users while building iteratively toward more complex tasks and capabilities over time.
About the role:
We’re looking for a meticulous, Rust-loving Software Engineer to join us on the ground floor, with runway for huge and immediate impact.
In this role you'd be joining our Platform team, which works on a diverse set of problems, ranging from low-level driver and kernel development all the way up to interfacing with the complex perception algorithms running locally on the robot, with high performance expectations and very limited computes.
If you're passionate about Rust and driven by high levels of ownership and solving complex problems, we’d love to chat! You can check out our blog here: https://maticrobots.com/blog/why-rust-its-the-safe-choice/
What you'll do
- Build software systems that can range from building compute graph pipelines, auto-update of software/firmware, enabling delightful, multi-modal (gestures, voice, etc.) interactions to network systems for debugging and logging
- Enable very fast robot and device data transfer protocols that feel like magic to users, including designing secure, efficient, and robust software for real-time data and video transfer
- Perform root cause analysis of system crashes and fix issues
- Recognize opportunities to create tools and improve infrastructure for more developer efficiency
- Closely collaborate with the Software, Algorithms, and Hardware teams to bring product vision to life that changes the perception of what’s possible
- Be an integral member of our small software team
What we look for
- Fluency in Rust, good to have C, C++
- Familiarity with a systems scripting language, such as Shell or Python
- Familiarity with userspace Linux programming and conventions
- Proven track record of building great software
- Pride in your programming and attention to detail
- Comfort with a fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don’t shy away from the hard work
- High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work
We'd love to hear from you if...
- You are genuinely motivated to help those around you
- You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones
- You love diagnosing complex technical issues
- You are excited to do great work
- You are excited about taking ownership on a wide range of systems and drive projects from concept through shipping
If you got to this point, we hope you're feeling excited about this opportunity at Matic! Even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We're eager to meet people who are keen to learn and are passionate about what Matic is building. We want to hear how you can contribute to our team in a variety of ways – not just the above boxes.
