Your Responsibilities
- Design and implement a robust REST API and WebRTC-based communication server running on embedded Linux robot hardware
- Expose and maintain a well-defined API layer consumed by browser-based clients, either desktop or mobile (layouting)
- Integrate the backend server with communication middleware (e.g. ROS2) to bridge robot internals and external consumers
- Own the server architecture end-to-end — including design, deployment, debugging, documentation, and release
- Ensure API reliability, performance, and security within embedded Linux constraints
- Collaborate with frontend and robotics software teams on interface contracts and integration
- Develop both rapid proof-of-concept implementations and production-grade server components
Essential Skills
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field • 5+ years of professional backend development experience
- Proficient in Python; working knowledge of C++ in a systems or robotics context
- Experience designing and implementing REST APIs and real-time communication protocols (WebRTC)
- Experience with communication middleware (e.g. ROS2) and its underlying concepts (pub/sub, services, actions)
- Experience deploying and operating backend services on embedded Linux systems as well as designing the frontend counterpart
- Strong understanding of API design principles, versioning, and documentation
- Strong debugging and fault analysis skills at the application and network level
Beneficial Skills
- Experience with containerization on embedded targets (Docker, lightweight runtimes)
- Familiarity with frontend technologies (browser-based UI/UX)
- Experience with authentication and secure communication (TLS, token-based auth)
- Familiarity with robotics system architecture and real-time constraints
