Top Robotics Software Engineer Jobs in New York City, NY

Design and build highly scalable, low-latency backend systems, APIs, microservices, and infrastructure serving millions of users. Collaborate with product, infrastructure, and data teams, make architectural decisions, mentor engineers, drive cross-team projects, and improve systems handling high request volumes. Work with Java, relational databases, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, caching, and messaging technologies.

Full Stack Software Engineering Interns build customer-facing features across frontend and backend systems. Responsibilities include developing React and TypeScript workflows, Python APIs and data pipelines, data modeling, testing, debugging, code review, and deployment. Interns own a scoped project with mentorship, collaborate across teams, and present results. The role is full-time and onsite in New York during Summer 2027.

Lead the consolidation of fragmented robotics services into a unified, scalable production platform. Establish architecture, version control, CI/CD, testing, OTA updates, observability, reliability practices, and customer-system integrations. Own production uptime and incident response while mentoring engineers, defining engineering standards, and eventually leading the software team.

Software engineering interns collaborate with experienced engineers on Viam’s robotics and cloud computing platform. Interns work across the stack, contribute to production software, receive mentorship, learn engineering best practices, and test software with robotics hardware. The role is an in-person, 10–12 week summer 2027 internship in New York City for students pursuing computer science or related degrees.

Build end-to-end software systems surrounding warehouse robots, including customer-facing products, internal operations and support tools, and deployment systems. Work across the software stack, iterate based on real warehouse usage, and potentially contribute to robot code, Android VR development, and future mobile applications. Translate open-ended problems into production-quality technical solutions while moving quickly in a collaborative team.

The Staff Software Engineer will drive technical strategy, lead complex projects, improve engineering standards, and mentor engineers across the organization, focusing primarily on back-end systems but maintaining full-stack awareness.

Lead end-to-end product-layer development: own frontend (Next.js/TypeScript) and API/application layer, define workflows and API contracts, implement CI/CD and automated tests, build customer-facing UIs and internal deployment tools, and collaborate with backend, SRE, product, and design to scale deployments across facilities.

Design and develop software solutions for counter-drone systems, collaborating across teams to optimize performance and ensure reliability.

Develop and deploy life-saving technologies as a fullstack engineer, focusing on web applications for public safety, collaborating with various engineering disciplines and leveraging customer feedback.

Design, build, and maintain scalable real-time and historical data pipelines and libraries; implement APIs, data quality checks, monitoring, and performance-optimized workflows; collaborate with autonomy, platform, and front-end teams to support fleet data analysis and visualization.
