Job description

About the role:

The orchestration team builds the backend software that manages all of the work that needs to happen in a Mytra system: what every bot should work on, when, how and in what sequence; in addition to tracking the current state of the system and all of the work requests. We are constantly solving dynamically changing multi-agent path finding problems against a live fleet.

What you’ll do:

Build backend software that coordinates a live fleet of bots, including planning collision-free and time-feasible routes across a shared operating space.

Develop systems for assigning tasks to bots based on fleet state, task dependencies, timing constraints, and operational priorities.

Implement planning logic for storage and retrieval workflows, including where payloads should be stored and what moves are required to access blocked or buried payloads.

Support continuous replanning as work is added, canceled, reprioritized, or disrupted, while helping keep the fleet operating efficiently.

Maintain accurate system state across Mytra’s digital model and the physical warehouse environment.

Build recovery workflows for situations where the physical system and software state diverge, including blocked areas, maintenance zones, network drops, spills, or other unexpected events.

Improve observability into planning cycles, task execution, and system behavior so engineers can debug issues and improve performance over time.

Design and maintain backend services, APIs, and data models that support orchestration, planning, task execution, and fleet operations.

Integrate customer warehouse workflows and WMS data into Mytra’s system to support efficient deployment and operation of the platform.

Collaborate with software, robotics, product, and customer-facing teams to deliver reliable orchestration capabilities in production.

Ideal Candidates

5+ years of production software engineering experience.

Experience building and shipping production software that solves search, routing, scheduling, planning, or optimization problems.

Familiarity with algorithmic problem spaces such as multi-agent path finding, vehicle routing, constraint solving, graph search, or similar.

Experience designing and maintaining production data models or schemas, including making changes safely as systems evolve.

Hands-on experience with relational databases, especially SQL or Postgres.

Experience designing, building, and supporting APIs used by other services, systems, or teams.

Ability to make practical system design decisions and understand the tradeoffs involved.

Strong ability to work through ambiguity, identify the right questions to ask, and move problems forward independently.

Product and technical judgment, with the ability to contribute ideas about what should be built while executing on current team priorities.

Nice to have:

Experience with warehouse automation or AMR fleet management.

Proficiency in Go.

Experience operating Postgres at scale.

Experience with NATS or other message-based/pub-sub systems.

Experience supporting systems where software issues can affect physical-world operations.

A Final Note:

At Mytra, we build bots, but we hire humans. We value thoughtful challengers who communicate with clarity and respect, and we’re lifelong learners committed to getting better every day. We move fast, learn faster, and show up for each other under pressure. The best outcomes come from diverse perspectives working together to build something meaningful and built to last

Benefits Include:

Competitive compensation and equity grants at a high-growth company backed by top-tier VCs

Fully subsidized health coverage, including medical (baseline plans), dental, and vision for employees and dependents

401(k) plans and employer-subsidized life insurance

Fully subsidized lunch and snacks at HQ - we eat and share stories together at the \"long\" table

Generous PTO and company-paid holidays, including one week over the winter break so everyone can recharge together

Voluntary pet insurance, Voluntary Life Insurance, Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity

Fully subsidized tax advisory services and education to help you understand your equity

Commuter benefits, including a up to $150 monthly commuter benefit

Lively, modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build, and test phases

Fully equipped onsite gym and showers at headquarters
