Destro

Job Title: Robotics Software Engineer Location: Hybrid – Pune (Remote Considered) Type: Full-time About Destro AI: Destro AI is building the global intelligence layer for robotics — the agentic decision-making brain that tells any robot what to do, when, and why across complex warehouse workflows. While most robotics companies focus on autonomy and sensors, Destro solves the real bottleneck: robots don’t understand workflows. Role Overview: We’re looking for a Founding Software Engineer who can take ownership of our fragmented codebases — and productionize, integrate, and harden it into a robust, scalable, enterprise-ready solution that can run in both cloud and on-prem environments. This is a mission-critical role where you’ll work directly with the founding team, own deployment architecture, and prepare the stack for live enterprise pilot launches. What You’ll Own: Refactor MVP codebases into a unified, modular platform Build backend APIs, scalable services, and data flows using Python Own DevOps, CI/CD, and infrastructure for on-prem and cloud-native deployments Containerize everything (Docker, Kubernetes) Build secure auth, RBAC, and observability for production readiness Implement real-time data processing, MQTT/gRPC APIs, Redis streams, etc. Tech Stack (you should be fluent with most): Backend: Python, Node.js Frontend: React, TypeScript DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes Cloud: AWS, GCP CI/CD: GitHub Actions or similar Infra: Linux, Postgres, MQTT, gRPC, Redis, APIs Bonus: Robotics/IoT deployments, RTLS integration, or wearable UX What We’re Looking For: Have 2 - 4 years of experience in full stack/backend/devops roles Have shipped real enterprise or infra products — bonus if in hybrid or on-prem setups Know how to write good code across microservices and edge devices Be excited to work on AI for the physical world, not just cloud dashboards Care deeply about reliability, observability, and uptime Be able to move fast, own outcomes, and work independently Why Join Destro: Real-world AI + Robotics Global Tech Exposure: Work with ex-Dexterity, ex-HAI Robotics, and NYU alumni, alongside top US retailers and 3PLs Equity + Ownership: As a founding engineer, you’ll earn meaningful equity and have massive technical say Career-Defining Work: You’re building the brain that controls fleets of robots — from day one
