## About the role

##### About the Role

This is an early-stage opportunity to help build a new category of software at the intersection of AI, robotics, and physical laboratory systems. You will own critical infrastructure spanning experiment orchestration, agent connectivity, and distributed coordination, and will have a direct hand in shaping the technical foundation of the product from day one.

##### What You'll Do

- Build experiment orchestration systems that schedule and coordinate work across distributed lab environments.

- Connect AI agents to real-world experiments and instruments through robust, reliable agent infrastructure.

- Design and implement data infrastructure to capture state, actions, measurements, failures, and provenance.

- Architect distributed systems that reliably coordinate software, devices, and experiments at scale.

- Develop developer tooling and APIs to accelerate new workflows and integrations.

- Debug and optimize across the full stack, from software through to hardware and physical systems.

##### What We're Looking For

- 3 or more years building production-grade software systems end-to-end.

- Strong proficiency in Rust or TypeScript.

- Deep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, networking, and asynchronous programming.

- Demonstrated experience designing data infrastructure that captures state, events, and provenance at scale.

- Experience building orchestration or scheduling systems that coordinate multiple concurrent processes or devices.

- Experience debugging and integrating across hardware, firmware, and software layers in production systems.

- Experience building developer tooling, SDKs, or APIs for integration workflows.

- High agency and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving early-stage environments.

- Experience with robotics, hardware integration, lab automation, embedded systems, or ML infrastructure is a strong plus.

##### Compensation & Benefits

Base salary range: **$100,000 to $170,000 USD**. Visa sponsorship is not available.

##### Location

On-site in Munich, Germany (primary), with additional office locations in Zurich, Switzerland and San Francisco, USA. Hybrid arrangements may be considered.
