But robots are a rounding error in our society: nearly nine out of ten American factories and warehouses don’t even have a single robot, and robots have yet to make their way into our homes or places of business.\n\nTutor Intelligence is changing that.\n\nTutor is a robotics research and deployment company, building generally capable robot hardware and artificial intelligence to enable robots to go where no robots have gone before. Sonny is a semi-humanoid robot with frontier dexterity approaching the human form. Cassie does back-breaking work, moving boxes, pallets, and bulk goods for businesses from family-owned manufacturers to some of the largest brands in the world. Tutor robots are manufactured at scale and operate as a network, combining the whole fleet’s learned experience to train ever more capable robot artificial intelligence.\n\nFounded at MIT and headquartered in Watertown, MA, our team is full stack: we design and manufacture robot hardware, train our own models, work directly with the smallest and largest end-customers, and maintain our fleet across the United States. We’re a team of researchers, engineers, technicians, operators, and sellers who love building things and solving hard problems.\n\nOur mission is grand: robots everywhere, for the common good, raising the standard of living across North America, and then the world.\n\nThe Role\n\nWe are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to lead the design and implementation of core software systems across our stack. This role is less about writing isolated features and more about owning architecture, setting technical direction, and building scalable, reliable platforms that support machine learning, robotics, and operations at scale.\n\nYou will work across backend services, data and ML infrastructure, internal tools, and customer-facing systems, while collaborating closely with robotics, hardware, and operations teams. Robotics is part of the domain, but this role is primarily about building high-leverage software systems that make the entire company faster and more effective.\n\nRequirements\nStrong programming ability and experience building large, production software systems.\nProven track record of owning and evolving complex systems over time.\nExperience working across backend, infrastructure, and application layers.\nComfort operating in ambiguous problem spaces and making pragmatic architectural tradeoffs.\nClear communicator who can lead technical discussions and align teams.\nNice to haves (zero or more)\nExperience with Python, TypeScript, Go, or similar languages.\nExperience with ML platforms, data pipelines, or ML-adjacent infrastructure.\nExperience with cloud infrastructure, containers, CI/CD, and developer tooling.\nFamiliarity with robotics or hardware-integrated systems (not required).\nStartup experience or experience building systems from zero to production.\nWe're hiring at Senior or Staff level; the level is set by the interview. Senior: $180,000–$315,000. Staff: $240,000–$420,000.\nWhy Tutor?\n\nWhether you’re designing robots, closing deals, running deployments, or creating the processes that help us scale, your work doesn’t sit on a shelf. It shows up on real production floors, making physical work safer and more affordable.\n\nOur team of 160+ is driven by curiosity and a genuine love of building. Everyone here takes real ownership, learns fast, and holds a high bar while having each other’s backs. If you love hard problems and creating things that didn’t exist before, you’ll fit right in.\n\nBenefits\n\nWe take care of our team so they can do their best work. At Tutor, you’ll get:\n\nFully employer-covered health insurance, so you’re protected without the premium.\nA managed 401(k) to help you plan for the future.\nGenerous time off: unlimited PTO and all federal holidays off for full-time salaried employees, and 16+ days of accrued paid time off plus 1.5x pay on federal holidays for hourly employees.\nRegular in-office meals and team social events throughout the year.\n\nAs Tutor grows, so will our benefits. We’re continuing to invest in ways to support our team at work and beyond.\n\nTutor Intelligence is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.","company":"Tutor Intelligence","rawCompany":"tutor intelligence","city":"Millbrae","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-11-03T09:19:03.706Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"17-2199.08","title":"Robotics Engineers","slug":"robotics-engineers"},{"code":"25-3041.00","title":"Tutors","slug":"tutors"}],"industries":[{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Platform","description":"About Tutor\n\nWe believe robots are the biggest lever we have to making the physical world a better, more affordable place.
