Your job will be to provide technical leadership while designing and delivering production software that coordinates automated workflows and optimizes inventory flow across large-scale warehouse automation environments. You will take ownership of complex, loosely defined problems, establish the technical approach, and deliver reliable solutions across multiple concurrent projects.

What we do

Our team develops software for Symbotic’s latest automation expansion. We build distributed solutions that support the ordering, processing, and delivery of mixed-SKU totes to hundreds of customers, working closely with robotics, controls, product, and site teams to deliver scalable automation systems.

What you'll do

• Provide technical leadership for the design, development, and maintenance of real-time distributed software for warehouse automation systems.
• Architect highly available, scalable services using .NET Core, RabbitMQ, OpenAPI, Kubernetes, and microservice-based architectures.
• Own complex features and services through requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.
• Apply algorithms and optimization techniques, including heuristics, graph algorithms, bin packing, and sequencing, to improve system performance and inventory flow.
• Profile, debug, and optimize distributed components while improving reliability, fault tolerance, and system scalability.
• Lead design and code reviews, establish engineering best practices, and mentor engineers across the team.
• Partner with robotics, controls, product, and site teams to support integration, commissioning, and troubleshooting at customer locations.

What you'll need

• Minimum of 8 years of related experience or equivalent work experience.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Advanced experience developing production software using C# and .NET Core across Windows and Linux environments.
• Experience designing scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems, microservices, and message-driven architectures using technologies such as RabbitMQ or Kafka.
• Strong knowledge of object-oriented design, SOLID principles, design patterns, asynchronous programming, multithreading, algorithms, and data structures.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, relational databases, SQL Server, automated testing, and performance optimization.
• Experience in warehouse automation, fulfillment, logistics, robotics, supply chain, or material-handling systems, with the ability to lead complex technical work with minimal direction.

Our Environment

• Up to 25% of travel may be required. Employees must have a valid driver's license and the ability to drive and/or fly to client locations and company HQ.
• Employees may be required to use a personal credit card for business travel expenses, which are reimbursed based on the program guidelines. Eligible employees may receive a corporate credit card based on role and travel requirements, but a personal credit card may be needed during onboarding until the corporate card is issued.
