About the role
About this role
Pickle is looking for a Backend Software Engineer to join our autonomy team, focused on building scalable systems that support task planning and robotic workflows.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and robotics infrastructure. You'll work closely with robotics engineers to design and build backend services that power real-world robotic systems on the warehouse floor.
We're looking for a strong software engineer who cares deeply about code quality, system design, and performance — someone who can bring solid backend engineering practices into a robotics environment and isn't afraid to get close to the hardware.
At Pickle, your code directly impacts how autonomous robots operate in production warehouses. You'll own meaningful pieces of the stack, collaborate across a tight-knit engineering team, and see the results of your work in the real world.
Responsibilities:
Skills & Experience:
3-5+ years of experience in backend or distributed systems engineering
Strong programming experience in Python
Experience with C++ or another strongly typed language (e.g., Rust, Go, Java)
Strong understanding of software architecture, concurrency, and distributed system design
Experience building or supporting event-driven systems, messaging frameworks, or service-oriented architectures
Experience developing systems that interface with hardware, robotics, or real-world operational environments is a plus
