FlairX
Senior Software Engineer – Leading Robotics Unicorn
FlairX, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
About Employer
We are looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer for our client, a robotics unicorn based in Silicon Valley. Backed by over $500 million in funding from top-tier investors, our client is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge machine learning technology. They are building pioneering intelligent automation systems that power some of the world’s largest warehouses and retail operations. By seamlessly combining real-time decision-making algorithms with advanced robotics, our client enables global enterprises to operate faster, smarter, and more efficiently—reshaping the future of supply chain and fulfillment. You will be a key contributor to the design, development, and optimization of high-performance, distributed software systems that power our next-generation robotic and automation platforms. We are specifically looking for engineers with hands-on Erlang, Elixir, or Gleam experience, who can help us build robust, fault-tolerant systems at scale. You will work in close collaboration with product managers, system architects, and cross-functional engineering teams to build solutions that are critical to warehouse automation, robotics orchestration, and real-time decision-making systems. Key Responsibilities
Design and implement core modules in Erlang, Elixir, or Gleam to build scalable, distributed systems. Lead development of critical product features and solve complex system-level challenges. Collaborate with architects to define low-level design and contribute to the technical roadmap. Refactor and optimize existing algorithms and services for better performance and reliability. Review code, provide technical mentorship, and promote best coding practices within the team. Use simulations and testing to validate system behavior and performance at scale. Requirements
Must Have: 3+ years of professional software development experience with strong problem-solving skills. Hands-on experience in Erlang, Elixir, or Gleam and a strong understanding of their concurrency model (processes, message passing, supervision trees). Exposure to building and maintaining distributed, high-availability systems. Experience with microservices architecture and REST-based APIs. Solid knowledge of RDBMS/SQL and experience working with databases in production environments. Understanding of software design principles, object-oriented programming, and system design patterns. Familiarity with version control systems (Git or similar). Nice to Have
Nice to Have: Background in real-time systems, telecom-grade architectures, or robotic platforms is a plus. Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.). Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field from a reputed institute. Strong analytical and debugging skills with an ability to work in a fast-paced environment. Clear, concise communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.
