Full Stack Software Engineer - Robotics

Who we are: Formic is on a mission to reshape American manufacturing by making automation accessible to every factory. As labor constraints rise, costs increase, and global competition intensifies, automation is no longer optional for manufacturers that want to stay competitive. We deliver automation through a Robotics-as-a-Service model that combines industrial robotics, proprietary software, and full-service support into a single, integrated solution. By removing the traditional barriers of cost, complexity, and risk, we enable manufacturers to deploy automation quickly and realize measurable gains in throughput, safety, and operational efficiency without large upfront capital investment. Backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Initialized Capital, Blackhorn Ventures, and Mitsubishi HC Capital North America, Formic is scaling rapidly and building the foundation for a new era of high-performance, Made in America production. About the Engineering Team As part of our Engineering team, you will help build and evolve the monitoring stack for industrial robotic systems. We are rethinking how these systems are designed, deployed, and maintained—and we’re looking for engineers who challenge the status quo. Our work sits at the intersection of AI, modern robotics, and scalable software systems. We aim to make industrial robotics more intelligent, reliable, and easier [... source excerpt omitted ...] -edge tools and practices to move quickly while maintaining strong safety and reliability standards in production environments. What You’ll Do As a Full Stack Software Engineer, you will: Design and develop backend infrastructure powering our robotics platform, including: System provisioning Data collection pipelines Monitoring and remote troubleshooting AI-driven fleet intelligence Collaborate closely with robotics engineers to design robust interfaces between hardware and software systems Build software across both edge and cloud environments to enable reliable data ingestion, processing, and system orchestration Provision and manage cloud infrastructure (primarily AW [... source excerpt omitted ...] zed by risk, and fear inaction more than failure. You see ambiguity as opportunity and bring energy to building what doesn’t yet exist. Create the Magic: You absorb complexity so customers don’t have to. Whether your customer is external or internal, you focus on delivering experiences that are clear, fast, value-added, and outcome-driven. You don’t say “not my job.” You make things work. Today, Not Tomorrow: You have a bias to action. You close the loop. You take extreme ownership. You understand that speed compounds, and you don’t confuse activity with results. Seek Truth: You think from first principles. You value data over ego and strong opinions loosely held. You’re willi
