Senior Software Engineer Robot Platform

Amazon RIVR is a robotics company pioneering Physical AI through real-world doorstep delivery. Founded in 2024 as an ETH Zurich spin-off, RIVR developed wheeled-legged robots designed to operate in complex, unstructured environments such as stairs, gates, doors, and uneven urban terrain. We believe that achieving general physical intelligence requires solving real customer problems in the real world, where robots can learn from rich operational data at scale. Following our acquisition by Amazon in March 2026, we are continuing this mission with greater reach and speed. By combining custom robot hardware, onboard autonomy, and cloud-based coordination, Amazon RIVR is building the next generation of safe, reliable autonomous robots for last-mile delivery Job Description   As a Senior Software Engineer for the Robot Platform, you will be a key player in the design, development, and integration of our robotic platform. Besides collaborating with all software and AI engineers, your role will involve working closely with Embedded Systems to ensure proper interfacing between software and hardware, DevOps to ensure seamless software integration and deployment, and with Field Engineering to support the real-world deployment of our robotic systems. You will learn the ins and outs of the software deployed in simulation and on hardware, and your expertise will ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of our robotic platforms. If you are passionate about robotics and driven to innovate real-world deployments of robots, we encourage you to join us in shaping the future of intelligent robotics.
