Founding Software Engineer

Undaunted Robotic Security About Undaunted We’re deploying robotic security to make communities safer so people can thrive. Backed by Atlanta Ventures and Fuse VC, we’ve become the largest robotic security company in the US in just over a year. We have close to 100 robots sold, and we’re just getting started. What You’ll Do We operate the largest fleet of Unitree quadrupeds in the United States. As a founding robotics engineer, you will be responsible for building features that ensure maximum fleet uptime, fleet management, and the infrastructure to power our robots. You will be shipping software, and occasionally embedded software solutions. You will work directly with our Undaunted dashboard, Unitree Go2 Pros, and our Undaunted security payload. You will also work closely with our hardware and Mission Control teams to ensure tight integration and company-wide adoption of new features. As an early-stage startup, our needs change rapidly, and we expect you to adapt when those situations arise, wear many hats, and be an ultimate team player. That said, we envision the following. Immediate We are working on several strategic initiatives to ensure maximum fleet reliability, visibility into fleet health, and bedrock infrastructure for future projects. Examples of features you may own: Migrating our fleet away from any signaling that passes through Unitree (Chinese) servers Pipelines to send our live video feeds to the police Data collection, visualization, and alerts infrastructure for better visibility into the biggest issues with our fleet You’ll work directly with customer feedback from early deployments to inform design decisions and guide further iterations. The infrastructure you build will also serve as a technical foundation for our longer-term efforts, including agentic AI tooling and software for a custom quadruped. Beyond You will contribute to the design and development of AI and agentic AI tools to enable our Mission Control team to respond to incidents faster and more effectively via both hardware and software. Agentic camera monitoring Agentic robotic patrols Maintenance and improvement of current systems Who we are looking for We are looking for someone who meets our company values: Mission First – We exist to make communities safer so people can thrive. Our technology is a tool for impact, and we never lose sight of that. You have a track record of working on impactful projects. You can articulate why our mission resonates with you personally.

You show up authentically, build lasting trust with teammates, support them through challenges, and rejoice in their successes. You care about our broader social impact and seek to understand it more deeply over time. Outrageous Ambition – We aim to build a robotic security company on a scale that does not currently exist and we have 100% conviction that we will succeed. We dream bigger and figure out ways to achieve our goals. You have accomplished things in your life that you thought were impossible, and continue to redefine the standard for yourself. You think that 50,000 robots in the field in the next 5 years isn’t just achievable, but an expectation.
