Principal Software Engineer – Platform Owner (Hands-on). At Furhat Robotics we build social humanoid robots that talk, listen, and interact with people in the real world. Our robots are already used by universities, research labs, hospitals, and innovation teams around the world to study and deploy human–AI interaction. This isn’t a prototype or a pitch deck. It’s a real, shipped product running globally. Technically, it’s a rare mix of: hardware, realtime systems, SDKs, cloud services, AI/LLMs, developer tools. We’re profitable and small (~20 people). We’re not trying to build a big engineering organization. We want one very strong engineer who can own the whole platform. This role is closer to being a technical co-founder than a typical employee.
Job Responsibility:
Own the robot platform (Java)
Own the SDK (Kotlin)
Own internal tools (React)
Own APIs and backend services
Own cloud & DevOps (AWS/Azure)
Run CI/CD and releases
Clean up legacy and simplify architecture
Break roadmap into shipped features
Guide/mentor junior engineers and consultants
Hire very selectively when truly needed
Requirements:
Are excited about AI and robotics
Are excited about building a reliable platform developers (specifically researchers) love to use
Have been a founding engineer, principal engineer, or startup CTO before
Have taken messy systems and made them reliable
Like owning things end-to-end
Prefer small teams over big orgs
Are comfortable working independently
Don’t need a lot of process or meetings
Like coding more than managing
Solve problems with automation and simplification, not hiring
