Backed by award-winning technology, a strong customer base, and Goldman Sachs, we’re scaling the future of robotics.

Role overview

You will drive cross-functional execution across distributed, multi-robot systems—aligning software, robotics systems, and product stakeholders to deliver reliable, high-impact features at pace. You’ll own the backlog, orchestrate planning and reviews, and create the conditions for teams to do their best work.

What you’ll do

• Lead a cross-functional group of robotics systems and software engineers working on multi-robot control, coordination, and related distributed systems domains.
• Align roadmaps with product objectives by partnering daily with product managers, logistics consultants, business analysts, and operations research scientists.
• Own the group backlog : write and refine user stories, prioritize for value, and maintain crisp, testable acceptance criteria.
• Run effective cadence : planning, iteration goal-setting, reviews / demos, and retrospectives that drive measurable improvement.
• Clarify requirements and unblock execution through tight feedback loops with engineering; validate outcomes against business objectives.
• Champion continuous improvement in processes, quality, reliability, and team learning.
