## Job description

Mujin is a global leader in industrial automation, redefining supply chain efficiency through MujinOS—our intelligent operating system for robotics. At our core is Machine Intelligence (MujinMI), a unique approach that leverages real-time digital twins and advanced perception, planning, and control algorithms to achieve fully autonomous operations. Our flagship product, MujinController, empowers users with a highly configurable, no-code interface. By integrating cutting-edge motion planning and computer vision, it enables seamless automation for complex applications such as palletizing, picking, and truck unloading. Headquartered in Japan with a growing presence in the US, China, and Europe, we invite you to join a dynamic environment where you can shape the future of automation.

## Responsibilities

- Own deployment and release tooling (Helm, GitOps with Argo CD, CI/CD pipelines)
- Build and improve observability: metrics, logs, traces, alerting, and on-call runbooks
- Keep the platform secure: networking, TLS and certificate lifecycle, secrets, identity, and access
- Operate stateful services such as PostgreSQL and object storage, including backups and recovery
- Write Go services and tooling where the platform needs code, and work with backend engineers on scalability and reliability

## Minimum Requirements

- Hands-on experience running production workloads on Kubernetes
- Hands-on experience with AWS or another major cloud platform, including networking and IAM
- Experience with infrastructure as code and GitOps or CI/CD tooling
- Ability to write and maintain production code in Go or another backend language

## Preferred Requirements

- Experience operating multi-region or highly available systems
- Experience with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or similar observability stacks
- Experience operating PostgreSQL in production
- Background in security, certificate management, or zero-trust networking
- Experience with IoT, robotics, or systems connecting cloud software with physical devices

## About Mujin

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Mujin develops intelligent robotics automation platforms that use a "teachless" no-code approach to make robots capable, easy to deploy, and simple to operate in logistics, manufacturing, and beyond.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C)
- **Headquarters**: Tokyo, Japan
- **Founded**: 2011
- **Founders**: Ross Diankov (CEO), Issei Takino

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Industrial robotics and automation
- Target customers: Warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturers (primarily Enterprise and B2B); also serves robotics integrators
- Mission statement: To solve the shortage of manual labor by deploying intelligent robotics automation that raises productivity around the world

## Products & Services
- **MujinOS**: A no-code, teachless platform for robot control and deployment. Integrates perception, planning, and control algorithms with a real-time digital twin. Compatible with top robot and tooling brands.
- **Palletizing**: Automated case stacking with high-speed, stable pallet builds for any SKU mix.
- **Depalletizing**: Perception-driven robots that unload pallets and handle complex mixed-SKU challenges.
- **Mixed-Case Fulfillment**: Robotic case picking and pallet building for store-ready orders.
- **Bin Picking**: Robots pick loose items from bins using advanced 3D vision.
- **Piece Picking**: Each-pick automation for e-commerce and distribution.
- **TruckBot**: Container and trailer unloading robot (debuted at ProMat 2023).
- **Fleet Coordination**: Syncs AGVs and AMRs with pick-and-place workflows through a single fleet module.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed as a private company (latest major round was $83.4M Series C in 2023, per CB Insights).
- **Key Metric (Funding)**: Over $107.4M in total known equity funding (Series A: ¥75M JPY, Series B: $6M, Series C: $83.4M + $18M). Also secured ¥15.5B JPY in debt financing (Dec 2025).
- **Notable Investors**: SBI Investment (led Series C), UTEC (The University of Tokyo Edge Capital Partners).
- **Growth Signals**: Employs 146 people (+5% YoY, +17 people); offices in 5 countries (Japan, USA, China, Netherlands, South Korea); 103 active job postings (+49.3% YoY); revenue $6.9M; recognized with the RBR50 Innovation Award; operates in 9 countries by workforce distribution.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Teachless technology**: Their "MujinMI" (Machine Intelligence) allows robots to think and move autonomously without being taught every motion — a fundamental differentiator from traditional industrial robots that require programming.
- **No-code platform**: MujinOS enables deployment without writing code, lowering engineering costs and accelerating timelines.
- **Brand-agnostic integration**: Compatible with robots and tooling from multiple manufacturers, so it fits into existing operations without vendor lock-in.
- **Strong Asia + global footprint**: Deep roots in Japan and China combined with expanding operations in North America and Europe.

## Strategic Focus
- Continue expanding globally with offices in the Netherlands (Eindhoven) and a growing presence in the U.S. (Atlanta, GA).
- Scale intelligent robotics solutions for large logistics and manufacturing customers.
- Push further into full warehouse and factory workflows (e.g., TruckBot for automated unloading).
- Deepen the MujinOS platform as the global standard for intelligent robotics.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-driven**: Tackling critical global labor shortages with cutting-edge technology.
- **Engineering-heavy culture**: 92 of 146 employees are in technical roles — a true engineering-first company.
- **Global, diverse team**: Colleagues from Japan, U.S., China, Netherlands, Switzerland, France, South Korea, and more.
- **Top talent hiring from**: Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, The University of Tokyo, plus alumni from Google, Microsoft, Woven by Toyota, and Preferred Networks.
- **On-site in Tokyo**: Most roles listed as full-time in Tokyo at their HQ, but also opportunities in Atlanta, Guangzhou, and Eindhoven.
- **Active growth**: 103 open jobs across software engineering (C++, Python, Computer Vision, Robotics), integration, and other roles.
