Responsibilities / Skills

• As the company has grown our tools have likewise grown organically over time to fit the needs of the teams, this has meant different approaches to how tools are built, maintained and used. This role brings clear ownership and consistent engineering practices to that ecosystem: unifying the toolchain, standardising behaviour and distribution, and improving maintainability so other teams can confidently adopt, extend and enjoy using the tools.
• Unifying and standardising existing tools into a coherent toolchain with consistent UX, behaviour, and quality bars.
• Building and maintaining reliable CLI tooling used on laptops for robot and fleet operations (configuration, access, modification, validation).
• Working with partner teams to deliver web UI tooling where appropriate, ensuring consistent workflows and shared interfaces.
• Establishing and improving packaging and distribution practices (e.g., Docker, GitHub Releases)
• Improving maintainability through testing, CI/CD, versioning, and clear deprecation/migration paths for legacy tools.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, with a focus on reliability, usability, and long-term maintainability.
• Comfortable with Linux based systems and capable of working in the command line.
• Experience building internal tooling for operational workflows (commissioning, deployment, servicing, test/validation, or similar).
• Very good version control experience with Git
• Proficiency in Python and/or Go, and comfort working across a multi-language codebase (Python/Go/C++).
• Experience distributing and operating internal tools (packaging, dependency management, release workflows), ideally including Docker and GitHub Releases.
• Ability to write clear documentation and specifications so tools can be adopted and used effectively across teams and stakeholders.
• Strong debugging/problem-solving skills across tooling, systems, and hardware-adjacent workflows.
