About the role
Agile Robots SE is a high-tech startup based in Munich. Our mission is to bridge the gap between AI and robotics by developing robotic systems that offer state-of-the-art full-body force sensitivity and world-leading vision intelligence. This unique combination of technologies enables us to provide intelligent, easy-to-use, and affordable robotic solutions with safe human-robot interaction.
We are a dynamic and innovative software development company dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology. We specialize in creating cutting-edge solutions that transform industries and redefine user experiences. Your Responsibilities:
• Design and implement a robust REST API and WebRTC-based communication server running on embedded Linux robot hardware • Expose and maintain a well-defined API layer consumed by browser-based clients, either desktop or mobile (layouting)
• Integrate the backend server with communication middleware (e.g. ROS2) to bridge robot internals and external consumers • Own the server architecture end-to-end — including design, deployment, debugging, documentation, and release
• Ensure API reliability, performance, and security within embedded Linux constraints • Collaborate with frontend and robotics software teams on interface contracts and integration • Develop both rapid proof-of-concept implementations and production-grade server components
Essential Skills
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field • 5+ years of professional backend development experience • Proficient in Python; working knowledge of C++ in a systems or robotics context
• Experience designing and implementing REST APIs and real-time communication protocols (WebRTC) • Experience with communication middleware (e.g. ROS2) and its underlying concepts (pub/sub, services, actions) • Experience deploying and operating backend services on embedded Linux systems as well as designing the frontend counterpart
• Strong understanding of API design principles, versioning, and documentation • Strong debugging and fault analysis skills at the application and network level Beneficial Skills: • Experience with containerization on embedded targets (Docker, lightweight runtimes)
• Familiarity with frontend technologies (browser-based UI/UX) • Experience with authentication and secure communication (TLS, token-based auth) • Familiarity with robotics system architecture and real-time constraints
What we offer
• A dynamic high-tech company, combined with financial soundness and world-class investors. • Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment. • Lots of development opportunities as we continue to grow.
• Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth. • Corporate Benefits Program covering health, mobility, and learning for 100€ net per month. • Modern office facilities with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment
