About Flexion

At Flexion, we are building the autonomy stack for humanoid robots. Our mission is to spearhead the transition from fragile prototypes to real-world humanoid deployment. We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex-Nvidia, ex-ETH Zürich) and backed by leading international VC firms. In just months, we went from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities with our customers, leveraging simulation and reinforcement learning. Today, we are rapidly expanding the capabilities of our autonomy stack and are growing our customer base and team faster than ever.

The role

As a Software Engineer in Flexion’s experienced infrastructure team you will build the platforms, tooling and infrastructure that power Flexion’s AI stack. This is a senior role with significant scope and ownership. You will work on a range of topics, taking projects from inception to completion, with collaboration and influence across the company. The infrastructure team owns Flexion’s state-of-the-art platforms, spanning in-house robotics frameworks for deployment, orchestration and networking, customer-facing applications, telemetry, SDKs, ML and data infrastructure, AI productivity tooling, and more. A core responsibility of this specific opening is to enable the growing scale and scope of our deployments by expanding our internal robot deployment tooling as well as our customer-facing tools and platforms.

Key responsibilities

Lead projects end-to-end, from scoping and technical design through implementation, rollout, and long-term ownership.
Shape technical direction and architecture decisions across teams through design reviews and code reviews.
Partner with research, robotics, and deployment teams to understand their needs and translate them into reliable platforms and tools.
Raise the bar on engineering practices, including testing, code quality, documentation, and system reliability.
Help define and spread AI-assisted development practices across the company and contribute to Flexion’s AI development tooling.
