Job Description

Overview

Sorting Robotics is a fast-growing company that specializes in automating the cannabis industry.

We have a talented and self-motivated team of mechanical, electrical, and software developers focused on creating the best machines possible.

Sometimes, nothing will work, and you'll need to conduct experiments until the problem's root cause (hardware or software-related) is fully understood.

Before writing any code, you must deeply understand complex topics and communicate proposed solutions to a highly technical team. Ideally, you write the minimum number of lines that solve the problem ("spin lock? Why not? It solves this problem" - "I'll just use a JSON file for now as a database so anyone can easily modify it").

Your work will be focused more on clear communication and business impact than on lines of code you can write or cool tech you can use - although there is space to experiment with cool new tech if you can justify it -

We seek an experienced Software Developer to join our team and help us take our technology to the next level!

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with Python
  • Familiarity with Git
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, AWS services
  • Familiarity with web standards, RESTful APIs, OAuth
  • Familiarity with Visual Language Action (VLA) models

You will work on different parts of the stack at various times. We expect you to understand where everything goes and why, and we expect you to add to the stack to make the development process more robust.

Requirements

  • Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields.
  • Experience with Linux (systemd, journalctl, network manager, permissions).
  • Experience working with Hardware.
  • Experience with Robotic Foundation Models and/or Visual Language Action models.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • 5 years work experience

Responsibilities

  • Work on the development of a foundational robotics policy for our new VLA powered system.
  • Build teleoperation interfaces for real-time robot control during testing.
  • Work closely with mechanical and electrical engineers and guide design decisions based on what software can effectively accomplish.
  • Work closely with customer success and sales staff to translate customer and company needs into software solutions.
  • Travel to client locations as needed for on-site system-level debugging, ensuring the restoration and maintenance of optimal system functionality
  • This is an on-site position. You're expected to work on-site with the other team members five days a week. We are based in Los Angeles.

Benefits

  • (130k - 165k)/year base salary.
  • (0.15% - 0.3%) Stock Options.
  • Comprehensive health, vision, and dental insurance plans.
  • Lunch provided daily.
  • Work with NASA-JPL level engineers.

Sorting Robotics does not offer H1-B visa sponsorship for this position.

This position is open to candidates authorized to work in the US for any employer (candidates with more than 1.5 years left on the OPT may be considered)
