Senior Software Engineer, Routing

At Serve Robotics, we’re reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses. We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in building scalable infrastructure to support routing, mapping, and real-time decision-making for autonomous delivery robots. In this role, you will design, implement, and optimize cloud-connected systems and algorithms that enable our robots to plan efficient routes and maintain high-fidelity maps of the world. You’ll collaborate closely with autonomy, infrastructure, and data teams to ensure our mapping and routing systems are robust, reliable, and continuously improving as our fleet grows. This is a highly technical role that combines systems-level thinking, algorithmic design, and large-scale distributed software engineering.
