Pickle Robot
We believe the best working experience is one where machines do the heavy lifting and people do the problem solving.
About this role:
Pickle is on the hunt for a dynamic and driven Software Engineer III to revolutionize the future of warehouse automation. You’ll design and develop algorithms that enable our robots to navigate complex environments with precision. If you thrive on solving real-world robotics challenges in a collaborative, fast-paced startup environment, we’d love to hear from you.
Want to get in on the ground floor of a fast-growing, VC-backed robotics company? Join Pickle Robot! We build systems that companies and their teams love.
Pickle robots unload trucks. Every day, millions of trucks and containers are loaded and unloaded, often requiring manual labor—tough, dirty, dangerous, and hard to staff. Pickle automates this process using AI, machine learning, and robotics to deliver reliable products. Our Unload Systems work with teams on loading docks to make the job safer, faster, and more efficient.
Pickle provides best-in-class benefits including health, dental, & vision insurance; unlimited vacation, along with all federal and state holidays; 401K contributions of 5% your salary, travel supplies, and other items to make your working life more fun, comfortable, and productive.

- An expert in Python, with extensive hands-on experience developing and optimizing robotics software.
- Proficient in additional programming languages such as Rust, C++, or Julia, and capable of adapting to new tools and frameworks as needed.
- Experienced in motion/path planning, with a strong understanding of robotic kinematics, control systems, and navigation algorithms.
- Mathematically inclined, with a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and mathematical optimization.
- Familiar with test-driven development (TDD) and comfortable applying TDD practices to ensure reliability and maintainability in product development.
- Detail-oriented with a systems-level mindset, able to integrate motion planning software into larger robotic architectures.
- Collaborative and communicative, able to work closely with multidisciplinary teams to drive product innovation and troubleshooting.
- Willing to work in-office from our Cambridge, MA location at least three days per week, fostering a strong team dynamic and hands-on testing with our robotics systems.
- Adaptable and eager to learn, staying up to date with the latest advancements in robotics, AI, and motion planning.
- You are willing and able to work from our Cambridge, MA office at least three days per week.
