By making smart machines more accessible, Viam is attracting talent and investment to the industry so that more people start building automated products and services that improve our quality of life.

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our NYC-based SDK team.

Viam's products are built by engineers, for engineers. The SDK team strives to build a platform we would want to use ourselves. Our goal is to improve the developer experience around building and controlling smart machines in order to make robotics agnostic of programming language.

You will make architectural decisions and manage the use of the latest language features while balancing compatibility. You will also have the opportunity to implement features in a variety of other language-specific SDKs, including Golang, Python, Flutter/Dart, TypeScript, and Rust, with more on the way.

In addition, this team creates and maintains end-to-end integration tests across the product, implements CI/CD systems for the SDKs, and works on SDK connectivity logic based on gRPC and WebRTC. This team also collaborates with internal and customer-facing teams to further improve the platform.

We are looking for an engineer who:

Is experienced in C++, with knowledge of other languages such as Golang, Python, or Rust a bonus
Has interest in crafting software for developers and roboticists around the world
Desires to solve sophisticated problems with novel and practical solutions
Wants to create ergonomic and delightful developer experiences
Gets excited to approach new technologies and open-ended problems

Your exact offer will vary based on a number of factors including experience level, skillset, market location, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at the company.
