Responsibilities
- Architect and build operation platforms including the scheduler, dispatcher, vehicle console, ATC, and TMS.
- Design durable object models, state machines, lifecycle logic, and structured events for Loads, Legs, Missions, and Trips.
- Establish source-of-authority boundaries between applications while maintaining a deterministic, traceable, and auditable core.
- Build real-time, role-based operator tools for dispatchers, remote assistants, technicians, and fleet managers.
- Develop backend services, APIs, and event-driven integrations connecting digital planning with the physical fleet and edge vehicle console.
- Ensure safety-relevant workflows such as launch authorization, dual clearance, recovery, and physical-takeover handoff are correct, observable, and resilient.
- Collaborate with autonomy, operations, product, and physical-layer teams to translate operational workflows into dependable software.
- Drive system design, code quality, testing, observability, and mentorship.

- At least 5 years of software engineering experience building backend services and/or full-stack applications in production.
- Strong software development skills in one or more of Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Experience designing distributed systems, data models, state machines, or workflow/lifecycle-driven applications.
- Solid understanding of APIs, databases, and event-driven architectures.
- Experience with operations-critical, mission-control, logistics, fleet management, TMS, dispatch/scheduling, or marketplace systems is preferred.
- Experience building real-time systems and operator-facing tools such as live dashboards and command-and-control interfaces is preferred.
- Familiarity with event-driven and streaming platforms such as NATS, Kafka, or MQTT and modern frontend frameworks such as React and TypeScript is preferred.
- Experience with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes is preferred.

About Bot Auto
Bot Auto runs autonomous trucks out of Houston, Texas. We sell the capacity, not the technology. We own the trucks, the safety case, and the operation end to end. Our team pairs trucking operators who've run real fleets with the engineers building the technology because commercializing this industry takes both. We're not chasing a demo. We're building the freight network the industry actually needs.
