Job description
Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.
About The Role
We're on the lookout for a Full-Stack Engineer with a background building complex systems and a genuine problem-solving mindset. Why? Because robots are complex, and we need people who love tackling software-based problems to help bring them to life.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement a centralized cloud-based platform for managing a fleet of humanoid robots, monitoring system health, and visualizing fleet-level KPIs
- Develop robust backend services to support the platform, including APIs for communication, data management, and integrations with robotic systems.
- Build lightweight software services that run on the robots, enabling remote control, data collection, diagnostics, and state management.
- Build and deploy reliable, secure infrastructure for running services
- Streamline and automate workflows, including software deployment, performance monitoring, and diagnostics, to enhance reliability and efficiency.
- Implement testing pipelines to validate the functionality of the UI, backend, and robot services
- Maintain clear and detailed documentation of tools, processes, and best practices to support team knowledge and future development.
What We're Looking For
- Proficiency in one of Python, Javascript, Golang or Rust
- Familiarity with React (or similar frameworks) for creating user-friendly web applications.
- Expertise in API design, data modeling, and distributed architectures
- Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and workflow automation.
- Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code solutions like Terraform, Pulumi or AWS CDK
- Understanding of network protocols and secure data exchange between services.
- Excellent skills in diagnosing and resolving technical challenges across integrated systems.
- Experience with observability and alerting in mission critical infrastructure.
What We Offer:
- Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), 15 days of paid sick leave, and paid company holidays.
- Fully funded private healthcare for UK employees, with broad provider access, virtual and in‑person care, and strong mental health and serious illness support.
- Equity included–we believe builders should share in what they build.
- Pension scheme with a total 8% contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.
- Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in‑office.
- Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.
- Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
