What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Full Stack Developer position at Boston Dynamics?
While our robots are out in the world performing complex tasks, our Service and Support team needs a sophisticated, high-performance toolkit to monitor, diagnose, and maintain them.
As a Full Stack Software Engineer, you will design and build a centralized Knowledge Base and a suite of Internal Tools that bridge the gap between raw robotic telemetry and actionable human insights. You will work closely with stakeholders in all aspects of the product development cycle to ensure field facing teams have the information they need when they need it.
At Boston Dynamics, internal tools are a critical mission-multiplier. Without your tools, our robots stay in the lab. With them, we can scale our fleet across the globe.
What You’ll Do
3 years of experience in full-stack web-development, diagnostics and troubleshooting in electromechanical systems, and engineering design
