Mission of the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Backend Engineer to join our team dedicated to autonomous driving technology. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Go service development, a good understanding of RESTful API design and experience building fault-tolerant, real-time systems. You will play a crucial role in maintaining and expanding the backend responsible for streaming live fleet state to operators and relaying commands to the autonomy stack.

## Key Responsibilities

- Design and implement services in Go, following a domain-driven design.
- Build and maintain event pipelines between the operator-facing layer and autonomy stack.
- Define and extend RESTful API contracts that teams can build against with confidence.
- Deliver real-time state to operators over event-driven and streaming connections, with a focus on robustness and redundancy.
- Maintain and extend operator-facing data in PostgreSQL through versioned migrations.
- Maintain and extend service instrumentation so system behavior stays observable as new features land.

## Basic Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent work experience.
- 5+ years of work experience in backend software engineering, or a related field.
- Experience building resilient services (e.g. graceful degradation and recovery).
- Solid experience with Go or similar backend programming languages and concurrent high-traffic systems.
- Hands-on experience designing and building RESTful APIs, preferably using a Go framework (e.g. Fiber, Gin).
- Comfortable working with relational databases, ORM, query optimization and schema migrations (e.g. Postgres, GORM).
- Comfortable working with message-driven architectures and event pipelines (e.g. Kafka).
- Proactive approach to identifying problems, performance bottlenecks, and areas for improvement.
- Excellent communication skills in English and the ability to work cross-functionally with developers, QA, and operations teams.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience working on large-scale distributed systems.
- Experience working with real-time or streaming systems (e.g. WebSockets or similar).
- Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana.
- Familiarity with TypeScript and ability to support the frontend team.

## About Seoul Robotics

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Seoul Robotics provides infrastructure-based autonomous driving technology to automate vehicle movement in factories, logistics hubs, and ports.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B)
- **Headquarters**: Seoul, South Korea
- **Founded**: 14 August 2017
- **Founders**: HanBin Lee (CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Autonomous driving technology for logistics and industrial applications.
- **Target customers**: B2B – automotive OEMs (e.g., BMW, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz), logistics operators, port authorities, and large-scale manufacturing facilities.
- **Mission or purpose**: To bring reliable and robust autonomous driving to logistics and industrial use cases, enabling societies with aging workforces to prosper without interruption.

## Products & Services
- **AVM (Automated Vehicle Marshalling)**: An infrastructure-based autonomous driving platform that automates the entire vehicle movement process inside factories and large logistics hubs. It controls hundreds of vehicles simultaneously with centimeter-level precision and is vehicle-agnostic (works with any make, model, or powertrain). The platform has obtained global certification and is commercially deployable.
- **ATS (Advanced Technology Solutions)**: A sensor-fusion solution using LiDAR, cameras, and machine learning to detect vehicles, trains, pedestrians, and analyze traffic events. It provides real-time and recorded data for safety and efficiency.
- **AYT (Autonomous Yard Technology)**: A service that retrofits yard tractors in ports with autonomous driving capabilities, enabling safe and effective operations in complex environments day and night, even in adverse weather.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $35M+ (Series B as of 2025). Annual revenue reported at KRW 4.2B (approx. $3.2M USD).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: BMW, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Mando, Qualcomm, Woowa Bros. (alumni connections).
- **Growth Signals**: 30% year-over-year headcount growth (51 employees), active job postings increasing monthly (+50%) and quarterly (+140%), international offices in Korea, Germany, and the US, and clients across four continents.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Infrastructure-based approach**: Unlike vehicle-only autonomy, Seoul Robotics’ AVM platform manages entire fleets via infrastructure, enabling scalable, multi-vehicle coordination.
- **Vehicle-agnostic compatibility**: Works with any car, truck, or yard tractor regardless of make, model, or powertrain (electric, hydrogen, diesel).
- **Proven commercial deployment**: First to earn global certification for infrastructure-based autonomous marshalling; already deployed in real-world environments.
- **Self-learning AI**: The system continuously learns and improves from operational data, maintaining high precision and reliability.

## Strategic Focus
- **Addressing workforce shortages**: Targeting aging societies in Asia (especially Japan and South Korea) by automating logistics tasks that are difficult to staff.
- **Industrial and logistics expansion**: Prioritizing factories, yards, and ports as immediate high-impact markets, with plans to scale across more geographies and use cases.
- **Continued R&D**: Investing in AI, sensor fusion, and fleet orchestration to maintain a technology lead.

## Why Work Here
- **Global & diverse team**: Over 20% of employees come from international backgrounds; 13 nationalities represented in headquarters. English is the working language, and the culture is free from discrimination based on nationality or background.
- **Hybrid & flexible work**: Hybrid work program, flexible hours, and no dress code.
- **Relocation & visa support**: Visa sponsorship and relocation bonuses for global talent.
- **Professional development**: Company covers costs for books, training courses, and conferences.
- **Compensation & perks**: Premium annual health check-ups, group accident insurance, holiday gifts, daily lunch, unlimited coffee and snacks, 10 days paid sick leave, and support for long-term savings (Naeil Chaeum Mutual Aid).
- **Culture**: Values respect, responsibility, immersion, and excellence. Horizontal structure with open communication. Interviews are primarily conducted online.
- **Engineering focus**: Technical roles make up 38% of the workforce; the team includes machine learning engineers, computer vision specialists, and system engineers working on cutting-edge autonomy.
