Pickle is looking for a Backend Software Engineer to join our Software Architecture team, focused on building scalable systems that support robotic workflows.

This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and robotics infrastructure. You'll work closely with robotics engineers to design and build backend services that power real-world robotic systems on the warehouse floor.

We're looking for a strong software engineer who cares deeply about code quality, system design, and performance — someone who can bring solid backend engineering practices into a robotics environment and isn't afraid to get close to the hardware. You'll own projects end-to-end, working independently on execution while collaborating on overall strategy. We also value engineers who communicate clearly and raise the team's collective expertise in the areas they work on.

At Pickle, your code directly impacts how autonomous robots operate in production warehouses. You'll own meaningful pieces of the stack, collaborate closely with our architecture team and other robotics teams, and see the results of your work in the real world.
