Robotics Software Engineer

At Coram AI, we’re reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility. You’ll be joining an ambitious, fast-moving team that values clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person here has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected. The role: As a Robotics Software Engineer, you will build high-performance, real-time software that runs on edge devices under strict latency and memory constraints. This role is focused on deterministic execution, distributed system design, and low-level performance optimization. You do not need to work on deep learning research. You will build the infrastructure and runtime systems that make real-time robotics possible. Responsibilities: Design and implement low-latency distributed systems running on edge hardware Write high-quality C++ or Rust code with strong attention to memory safety, determinism, and performance Build real-time data pipelines for high-throughput sensor and video streams Design IPC mechanisms between perception, control, and device subsystems Optimize memory layout, CPU utilization, and concurrency patterns Debug complex production issues involving race conditions, memory fragmentation, and performance bottlenecks Profile systems using low-level tools to eliminate latency spikes and tail latency issues Build reliable pub/sub and message-passing architectures under unreliable network conditions Ensure systems remain stable under constrained compute, limited memory, and high I/O load Skills and qualifications: A Bachelors in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. MS or Ph.D. is a plus 3+ years of experience building systems-level or performance-critical software (experience with edge systems, robotics infrastructure, or real-time platforms highly preferred) Strong programming skills in C++ (preferred) with experience in Rust highly valued Deep understanding of multithreading, concurrency primitives, and lock-free data structures Passion for building high-performance infrastructure that powers real-time robotics systems Resilient in challenging and fast-paced environments Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to influence at all levels Ability to work in an onsite environment What we offer : 100% Employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and base life insurance Flexible paid time off and 10 paid holidays 401(k) with both Traditional and Roth options Early-stage equity in a rapidly growing company Referral bonuses Daily team breakfast and dinner, and regular team off-sites Free onsite EV charging The latest Apple products and unlimited tech stack (Claude Cowork, Perplexity Computer, Nooks, Clay, Instantly, etc.)Direct exposure to our AI-native GTM machinery We're on a mission to transform a $50B+ legacy industry by bringing the power of cutting-edge multimodal LLMs and computer vision to real-world security and operations. From firearm detection to intelligent access control, our AI-native platform turns every camera and sensor into a smart system that enhances safety, efficiency, and awareness. Founded by Ashesh Jain (ex-Lyft Level 5, PhD Cornell) and Peter Ondruska (ex-Lyft, PhD Oxford), Coram AI is backed by Ansa Capital, Battery Ventures, Mosaic, 8VC and Up Partners, have raised over $65M, and were named to the CB Insights AI 100 as one of the most promising AI companies in the world. If you're excited to work on mission‑critical AI that makes an impact in the real world, we’d love to meet you. #J-18808-Ljbffr
