Senior Software Engineer, Autonomy

Description

ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company dedicated to shaping the future of mobile robotics across multiple industries. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Autonomy team who really enjoys creating quality, maintainable code, simplifying complex systems through design improvements, and prioritizing sound interfaces and architecture.

This is a senior, hands-on software engineering role at the heart of cutting‑edge R&D, mission frameworks, autonomous behaviors, obstacle avoidance, path planning and the application of modern AI techniques. You’ll work across the full lifecycle — from early development prototyping through to mission‑critical, production deployments.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the technical strategy and design for the autonomy software architecture, ensuring robots act transparently and reliably in complex environments
• Lead and develop core robotics algorithms to expand our autonomous operational envelope in challenging conditions
• Triage customer issues, recognize trends, and rapidly make our system more resilient to failures observed in the field.
• Write, deploy, and maintain highly efficient C++ and Python software for the autonomy stack
• Serve as a mentor and collaborator, participating in architecture group activities and guiding junior engineers on algorithm design and best practices
• Evaluate cutting-edge algorithms and solutions to continuously push the boundaries of autonomous performance and system adaptability

Qualifications

• University degree in engineering or science with a focus on computer science, electrical engineering or robotics
• Proven track record of shipping software to the field and maintaining those solutions over time
• Proven experience leading software architecture design and software engineering best practices
• Strong contributor to technical strategy and mentoring of junior engineers
• Strong understanding of autonomous systems, including: motion planning, state estimation, behaviour‑based control, path planning, mission planning & execution
• Strong knowledge of Linux systems, middleware frameworks and interfacing complex modules up and down the software stack
• Pragmatic and solution-oriented mindset, working towards a goal and achieving outcomes
• Excellent communication skills in English
• Hands-on experience with Reinforcement Learning (RL) and deployment of cutting-edge AI/ML models
• Development of scalable and modular robot architectures with task execution frameworks such as Behavior Trees
• Experience with ROS/ROS2
• Experience using robotic simulation tools such as Gazebo or Isaac Sim
• Interest in agentic engineering toolchains
• Successfully managed strategic partnerships with external engineering companies
