Sr./Staff Software Engineer - Remote Assistance
role at
Gatik
Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle‑mile logistics, is revolutionizing the B2B supply chain with its autonomous transportation‑as‑a‑service (ATaaS) solution. The company focuses on short‑haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 retailers and launched the world’s first fully driverless commercial transportation service with Walmart in 2021. Gatik’s Class 3‑7 autonomous trucks are commercially deployed across major markets, including Texas, Arkansas, and Ontario, Canada, and its proprietary Level 4 autonomous technology, Gatik Carrier™, transports freight safely and efficiently between pick‑up and drop‑off locations on the middle mile.
About The Role Develop modern C++ backend systems for vehicle telemetry, state management, and real‑time communication. Design low‑latency, high‑reliability protocols and safety‑critical workflows. Collaborate across autonomy and platform teams, interface with vendors, and conduct on‑vehicle testing to optimize performance and reliability. This role will be onsite at our Mountain View office.
Responsibilities
Design and implement back‑end software in modern C++ to support vehicle telemetry, communications, and system state management.
Architect low‑latency, high‑reliability communication protocols for real‑time data exchange across distributed systems.
Develop intuitive and safety‑critical user workflows to ensure clear and reliable vehicle state transitions.
Collaborate cross‑functionally with teams in behavior planning, platform engineering, integration, safety, and operations to align technical solutions with stakeholder needs.
Perform metric analysis and performance optimization in a dynamic, highly concurrent software stack.
Interface with global vendors, ensuring alignment of technical goals, deliverables, and integration timelines.
Participate in on‑vehicle testing, conducting functional analysis of new features and collecting data on latency, throughput, and stream quality.
Qualifications
Master’s degree in robotics, computer engineering, or a related field with 5+ years of experience, or Bachelor’s degree with 7+ years in autonomous systems or embedded software.
Strong proficiency in modern C++, with deep expertise in high‑concurrency systems for real‑time or safety‑critical applications.
Solid understanding of communication protocols, including TCP/IP, UDP, and custom transport layers.
Strong grasp of operating system fundamentals, including process priority, scheduling, inter‑process communication (IPC), and performance optimization on distributed platforms.
Experience with robotics middleware, particularly ROS 2.
Exceptional analytical and debugging skills, with a proven ability to work across disciplines and communicate effectively with cross‑functional teams.
Bonus: Experience with cellular networks, modem optimization, and telecom systems is a strong plus.
Salary Range – $180,000 – $260,000
Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas‑Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle‑mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability. Gatik delivers complete, proprietary AV technology – an integration of software and hardware – to enable earlier successes for its clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy. By focusing on the middle mile, Gatik has simplified many complex AV challenges, enabling full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik’s well‑defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, the company hyper‑optimizes its models with exponentially less data, establishes gate‑keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensures continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.
We at Gatik strive to create a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone feels they have opportunities to succeed and grow because we know that together we can do great things. We are committed to an inclusive and diverse team. We do not discriminate based on race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, marital status, or any legally protected status.
