Software Engineer III, Software Services (Applications)
About Agility Robotics
Agility Robotics builds Digit — the first humanoid robot doing real, paid work in warehouses and distribution centers today. Our mission is to build robot partners that augment the human workforce, and Digit is already working alongside people at real customer sites through our Agility Partner Program. Humanoid robotics is one of the most closely watched spaces in tech right now, and very few engineering teams get to write the software that commands and manages a fleet of humanoid robots operating in the real world.
About the Team
You'll join the Software Services (backend) team, part of the broader Applications & Platform Software Engineering organization building Arc — our cloud application for robot fleet management, robot operations, and fleet data collection. The team spans Senior Staff to SWE III, so you'll have direct access to experienced engineers as you ramp up: you'll get an assigned mentor for your first 90 days, and after that you'll work closely with whichever senior or staff engineer is leading your project.
What You'll Do
Build backend APIs and services for Arc, our cloud-based robot fleet management platform.
Own well-scoped features end-to-end, and contribute to larger ones alongside senior engineers.
Turn product requirements into technical designs — write design docs, build proof-of-concepts, and ship code.
Help redesign our system and refactor services as we scale and evolve.
Work cross-functionally with product, UX, front-end, robot hardware/software, customer solutions, and operations teams.
Support what you build through its full lifecycle, including a flexible, team-designed on-call rotation (roughly once every 3-4 weeks).
