Founding Software Engineer at Mbodi AI

Mbodi builds the software layer that lets industrial robots learn new skills from instruction in minutes instead of weeks of hand-tuning. We work with Fortune 100 companies across manufacturing, logistics, and pharmaceutical labs, where we operate at the intersection of real-time robotics control, distributed agent orchestration, and compiled neural inference. As one of our early engineers, you'll work on the core systems that translate camera input into a software representation of the physical world, orchestrate agents that reason over it, and compile learned skills into fast, deterministic robot behavior on the fly. We're looking for a senior software engineer with deep intuitions about concurrency who is comfortable writing performance-critical code across the stack, from compiled C runtimes to Python agent orchestration and TypeScript frontends. You'll work directly with the founders on the core platform: the robot interface, the real-time world model, and the APIs that tie everything together. The systems you build ship into customer environments. Correctness and uptime matter from day one, and you'll own your decisions end to end. This role is based in New York City. We work
