About Destro AI:
Destro AI is building theglobal intelligence layer for robotics the agentic decision-making brain that tells any robotwhat to do, when, and whyacross complex warehouse workflows. While most robotics companies focus on autonomy and sensors, Destro solves the real bottleneck:robots don't understand workflows.
Role Overview:
We're looking for a Founding Software Engineer who can take ownership of our fragmented codebases and productionize, integrate, and harden it into a robust, scalable, enterprise-ready solution that can run in both cloud and on-prem environments. This is a mission-critical role where you'll work directly with the founding team, own deployment architecture, and prepare the stack for live enterprise pilot launches.
What You'll Own:
- Refactor MVP codebases into a unified, modular platform
- Build backend APIs, scalable services, and data flows using Python
- Own DevOps, CI/CD, and infrastructure for on-prem and cloud-native deployments
- Containerize everything (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Build secure auth, RBAC, and observability for production readiness
- Implement real-time data processing, MQTT/gRPC APIs, Redis streams, etc.

- Backend: Python, Node.js
- Frontend: React, TypeScript
- DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes
- Cloud: AWS, GCP
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions or similar
- Infra: Linux, Postgres, MQTT, gRPC, Redis, APIs
- Bonus: Robotics/IoT deployments, RTLS integration, or wearable UX
What We're Looking For:
- Have 2 - 4 years of experience in full stack/backend/devops roles
- Have shipped real enterprise or infra products bonus if in hybrid or on-prem setups
- Know how to write good code across microservices and edge devices
- Be excited to work on AI for the physical world, not just cloud dashboards
- Care deeply about reliability, observability, and uptime
- Be able to move fast, own outcomes, and work independently
Why Join Destro:
- Real-world AI + Robotics
- Global Tech Exposure: Work with ex-Dexterity, ex-HAI Robotics, and NYU alumni, alongside top US retailers and 3PLs
- Equity + Ownership: As a founding engineer, you'll earn meaningful equity and have massive technical say
- Career-Defining Work: You're building the brain that controls fleets of robots from day one
