Robotics Software Engineer

OverviewSorting 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 QualificationsFamiliarity with PythonFamiliarity with GitFamiliarity with CI/CD pipelines, AWS servicesFamiliarity with web standards, RESTful APIs, OAuthYou will work on different parts of the stack at various times.
