Job Description: About Mytra:We’re creating an entirely new way to solve the most ubiquitous problem in industry - moving and storing material. We’re applying robotics and distributed software to create a new class of product for this $1T market. We’re focused on the supply chain industry first. The industry is in a massive bind with the continued growth of e-commerce, sharp rise in costs, and supply chain disruptions. What has been a “sleepy” industry for decades is now at the epicenter of sustaining the global economy.About the role:Mytra’s Software team is looking for a senior software engineer to develop and scale the core backend systems that power our simulation and system validation environments. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in developing high-performance Python systems beyond traditional API development — working on multi-threaded processes, simulation environments, and backend infrastructure that bridges the gap between real-world robotics and virtual environments.In this role you will collaborate closely with simulation engineers and other cross-functional teams across software, firmware, and robotics to develop performant, flexible, and scalable simulation tools, optimize performance, and ensure system reliability. Your work will directly impact the fidelity, scalability, and speed of Mytra’s simulation ecosystem by enabling rapid experimentation, system validation, and “what-if” scenario analysis.Responsibilities:Design, build, and maintain backend systems for large-scale simulation and system validation environmentsDevelop multi-threaded and process-driven Python applications to support high-performance simulation workloads and distributed processesDirectly partner with simulation engineers, helping to integrate physical models, task schedules, and robot behaviors into scalable and extensible simulation servicesCollaborate with robotics, firmware, and infrastructure teams to ensure simulation fidelity and integration with real-world systemsLead the development of core simulation SDKs and reusable Python modules for internal useBuild automated validation and test harnesses for continuous system performance evaluationMonitor, optimize, and scale simulation services across distributed or containerized environmentsMentor other engineers and contribute to overall engineering best practices at MytraParticipate in design reviews, system architecture discussions, and performance tuning sessionsQualifications:5+ years of industry experienceStrong proficiency with systems-level development including multi-threading, multiprocessing, and system process managementExperience in PythonExperience building and maintaining long-running backend services or distributed systemsExperience with testing frameworks and continuous integration pipelines (unit, integration, regression)Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with attention to performance and reliabilityExcellent collaboration and communication skillsNice to Have:Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)Experience developing SDKs, simulation frameworks, or internal developer toolsFamiliarity with SimPy or other discrete-event simulation librariesBackground in warehouse operations, system simulation, system validation, or software-in-the-loop (SIL) environmentsExperience with cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, or Azure)Exposure to robotics systems or embedded software environmentsIf not Python, C++, Rust or Go are equivalentsA Final Note:You’re encouraged to apply even if you can’t take on every example project in its totality. Wework closely and collaboratively at Mytra - No one takes on projects alone. We seek people whoare eager to work together, learn new things, and bring unique perspectives.Benefits Include:Competitive compensation and equity grants at a high-growth company backed by top-tier VCsFully subsidized health coverage, including medical (baseline plans), dental, and vision for employees and dependents401(k) plans and employer-subsidized life insuranceFully subsidized lunch and snacks at HQ—we eat and share stories together at the “long” tableGenerous PTO and company-paid holidays, including one week over the winter break so everyone can recharge togetherVoluntary pet insurance, voluntary life insurance, Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital IndemnityFully subsidized tax advisory services and education to help you understand your equityCommuter benefits, including a up to $150 monthly commuter benefitLively, modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build, and test phasesFully equipped onsite gym and showers at headquartersPay Notice:Compensation for this position will be negotiated based on the candidate's experience level and location. The posted salary band is applicable only to the San Francisco Bay Area and is subject to change.
