You will be a foundational hire building the intelligence layer that grants robots persistent memory and long-horizon decision-making. Working across the full stack—from backend APIs to robot-deployed interfaces—you will transform cutting-edge research into production software for real-world environments like construction sites, warehouses, and offshore platforms where reliability is paramount.
Software Engineer at $4.8M pre-seed Oxford robotics startup
Join an elite Oxford University spin-out building the intelligence layer for reliable real-world robotics. Founded by a team that previously sold to Waymo and backed by $4.8M from Amadeus Capital Partners, this startup is giving robots persistent memory for missions in warehouses and offshore platforms. As a foundational engineer, you’ll work across the full stack to deploy AI that adapts to disruption, moving beyond labs and simulations into the real world. If you have 2+ years of experience and a passion for physical AI, this is your chance to ship software that runs on actual robots.

Candidate profile
Who this is a fit for
- At least 2 years of professional software engineering experience with strong coding proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or C++.
- Proven track record of delivering robust applications in complex, safety-critical, or engineering-heavy domains rather than lightweight SaaS.
- Highly pragmatic mindset with experience using AI-assisted tools like Claude or Copilot to accelerate high-quality software development workflows.
What makes it remarkable
Why this role is remarkable
- Work at the frontier of physical AI alongside world-leading researchers, including founders who previously built and sold robotics companies to Waymo.
- Join a high-traction startup already running pilots in logistics and infrastructure, backed by top-tier investors like Amadeus Capital Partners.
- Benefit from a hybrid Oxford-based culture that values openness, responsibility, and the use of AI-assisted tools to accelerate technical delivery.
