Senior Software Engineer - Tools
Watney builds autonomous construction robots (starting with data centers) and is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build internal tools: a robot-data playback viewer, dataset curation APIs, and annotation/quality-review tooling that turn field robot data into ML training sets. On-site in San Francisco, working closely with ML, fleet, and annotation teams.
Staff Firmware Engineer
Writes and leads firmware for Watney's autonomous construction robots: bringing up new mainboards and actuators with contract manufacturers, writing drivers and hardware abstraction layers in Rust and C, and building hardware-in-the-loop test infrastructure, in close collaboration with mechanical, electrical, and ML teams. Based in San Francisco.
Staff Software Engineer - Infrastructure
Staff infrastructure engineer at a robotics startup: owns the networking, remote access, real-time video pipelines, CI, observability, and safe fleet-wide release process for autonomous robots working at customer data-center construction sites. Leads infrastructure changes across engineering, ML, and fleet ops teams.
