About Nimble

Nimble is a robotics and AI company inventing and scaling autonomous logistics with intelligent robots to enable fast, efficient, and sustainable commerce.

We’re developing generalized robot intelligence and building general-purpose mobile manipulator robots, the first in the world capable of performing all core warehouse functions.

We’ve recently closed a $106M Series C funding round at a $1 billion valuation and we’re continuing to grow our all-star team.

Our mission is to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial.

Our long-term vision is to invent the Autonomous Supply Chain – everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door – using next-gen intelligent robotics to deliver faster, more efficient, and more sustainable commerce.

We were founded from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. We’re backed by the world’s most prestigious investors and Nimble’s Board of Directors includes AI and robotics legends like Marc Raibert (Founder of Boston Dynamics), Fei-Fei Li (Chief Scientist of AI at Google, Director of Stanford’s AI lab), and Sebastian Thrun (Founder of Google X, Waymo, Kitty Hawk, and Udacity).

Join us to leave your mark on the future of robotics, AI, and logistics!

Why Join Nimble?

At Nimble, we are committed to building legendary products, a legendary team, and a legendary legacy. Join us and become part of an ambitious, humble, and resourceful culture where your work will leave a lasting impact on the future of robotics and commerce.

Nimble’s Core Values

  • Be relentlessly resourceful – Challenge the status quo. Make the impossible, possible. Do whatever it takes.
  • Be legendary – Be the best at whatever it is that you do. Leave your mark. Motivate and inspire others.
  • Be humble – Leave your ego behind. Have a growth mindset. Learn and improve yourself every day.
  • Be dependable – Take ownership and deliver. Be loyal to your team and Nimble's mission.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our growing robotics team. You will play a critical role in working with our world-class cross‑functional team to help develop and build the world’s most advanced robotic systems for the world’s biggest robotics opportunity.

Responsibilities

  • Architect software solutions – Craft highly performant, maintainable, scalable and fault tolerant robotics software using Rust programming language. Welcome new challenges and work independently across disciplines to investigate issues and identify technical solutions.
  • Develop robot capabilities – Develop efficient task planning, multi‑agent path planning and multi‑robot coordination algorithms to improve robot efficiency and warehouse throughput. Develop features for continued automation of warehouse tasks such as picking, packing and sorting. Design algorithms to optimally distribute and break down orders into robot tasks while minimizing robot congestion. Develop multi‑robot simulation and 3D visualization software to predict system behavior ahead of new customer launch and warehouse volume ramp up.
  • Provide input on all aspects of product development from brainstorming to final delivery. Challenge product requirements and ensure consistency across system behavior by thinking through 2nd and 3rd order effects of proposed changes.
  • Analytical approach – Analyze complex system behavior in production to derive key insights for validating feature impact, pre‑evaluating future feature development and understanding performance bottlenecks of the system.
  • Technical ownership – Hands on execution : Own development of algorithms, software infrastructure, coding, testing infrastructure, CI, on‑call production support for live production, and debugging on production incidents and performance bottlenecks. End‑to‑end ownership : Take full ownership of landing large feature initiatives with technical design creation, technical design reviews, and delegation of development tasks to others.
  • Technical leadership – Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (style guidelines, code checks, accuracy, testability, and efficiency). Uphold a high bar. Contribute to documentation or educational content and adapt content based on product / program updates and user feedback. Drive feature development and launch. Manage the team’s backlog, support sprint planning, and cross‑disciplinary hand‑offs with operations, hardware, robot software and cloud logistics software teams. Serve as a mentor for junior engineers and influence the overall technical roadmap for the team.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelors, Masters, or PhD in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of industry experience.
  • Experience with relevant programming languages such as Rust, Golang, Python or C++ etc.
  • Experience simulating, debugging and analyzing autonomous systems, robotics, or other highly complex systems.
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP or Azure.
  • Experience with containerization technologies like Kubernetes and Docker.
  • Good understanding of database systems such as Postgres, Scylladb.
  • Good understanding of writing unit and integration tests.
  • Good understanding with lower‑level Operating Systems (Linux).
  • Nice to have

  • Experience with data engineering technologies such as Apache Kafka, Spark, Flink, Airflow, Parquet, Arrow or similar.
  • Compensation

    $180,000 - $250,000 a year.

    Compensation is made up of base salary plus generous equity.

    Culture

    We embrace challenges and strive to make the impossible possible each day. We’re not in this to do what’s easy or to be mediocre. We want to create something legendary and leave our mark on the world. We’re ambitious, we’re gritty, we’re humble and we’re relentlessly resourceful in pursuit of our goals. If this sounds like you then you might be a great fit!
