Senior Software Engineer , Vision

About Mytra

We’re creating an entirely new way to solve the most ubiquitous problem in industry - moving and storing material. We’re applying robotics and distributed software to create a new class of product for this $1T market. We’re focused on the supply chain industry first. The industry is in a massive bind with the continued growth of e-commerce, sharp rise in costs, and supply chain disruptions. What has been a “sleepy” industry for decades is now at the epicenter of sustaining the global economy.

About the role

Mytra’s robotics team is looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to develop software critical for the integration of our perception software and our robotics firmware across our robotic fleet as we scale. You will collaborate closely across multidisciplinary hardware and software teams, own firmware development throughout the product lifecycle, and contribute significantly to real-time embedded systems critical to our robot's performance.

What you’ll do

• Deliver high quality code across many layers of the robotics software stack
• Implement highly performant and real time code for perception and critical control functions
• Identify performance, maintainability, and reliability of code changes
• Contribute to the complete life cycle of software features including feature definition, implementation, test plan, and roll out strategy
• Assess and contribute to long-term architectural decisions as software evolves
• Lead and manage integration of initial prototype systems including bring-up, debug, and engineering test of alpha and beta phase prototype robots

Ideal Candidates

• BS in Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
• Strong experience with Python, particularly focused on application and process level development
• Experience with C/C++/Rust and system level environments
• Demonstrated ability to break down complex problems into actionable incremental progress in a continuous integration development environment
• Experience coding in concurrent and multithreaded environments
• Understanding of electromechanical systems, kinematics, and robotics control
• Experience with network communication technologies, including CAN, Ethernet, TCP/IP, UDP, and pub/sub frameworks like NATS
• Understanding of how hardware changes affect robotics software and vice-versa
• Understanding of Git and software version management
• Strong knowledge of software design and maintainability patterns
• Preferred experience in embedded software and/or firmware development
• Ability to fluently interpret system data to root cause logged faults and build robust diagnostic tools

Nice to have

• Experience with Linux operating systems and kernel fundamentals
• Experience in computer vision and deep learning skills (detection, segmentation, tracking, depth estimation) together with solid classical and geometric CV, including camera calibration and projection geometry.
• A track record of shipping perception to production on real systems, with the data-centric debugging instincts to know why models break and how to fix them.

A Final Note

If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply — even if you don’t check every box. At Mytra, we build bots, but we hire humans. We value thoughtful challengers who communicate with clarity and respect, and we’re lifelong learners committed to getting better every day. We move fast, learn faster, and show up for each other under pressure. The best outcomes come from diverse perspectives working together to build something meaningful and built to last

Benefits Include

• Competitive compensation and equity grants at a high-growth company backed by top-tier VCs
• Fully subsidized health coverage, including medical (baseline plans), dental, and vision for employees and dependents
• 401(k) plans and employer-subsidized life insurance
• Fully subsidized lunch and snacks at HQ—we eat and share stories together at the “long” table
• Generous PTO and company-paid holidays, including one week over the winter break so everyone can recharge together
• Voluntary pet insurance, Voluntary Life Insurance, Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity
• Fully subsidized tax advisory services and education to help you understand your equity
• Commuter benefits, including a up to $150 monthly commuter benefit
• Lively, modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build, and test phases
• Fully equipped onsite gym and showers at headquarters
