We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that full-time employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments. This in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Software Engineer on the Control Center team, you will build the central operational platform that connects autonomous vehicle fleets to human operators across a wide range of industries including mining, commercial trucking, defense, industrial automation, and consumer AVs.

Control Center acts as the central nervous system for autonomous operations, handling everything from continuous telemetry ingestion and real-time digital twins to mission orchestration, safety-critical geofencing, and site-wide path planning.

In this role, you will own core platform domains end-to-end, building low-latency, ultra-reliable backend systems that scale across diverse vehicle types and operational environments-from public cloud deployments to air-gapped, on-premise sites.

AT APPLIED INTUITION, YOU WILL:

- Architect, implement, scale, and maintain critical control center subsystems - from high-throughput telemetry ingestion to live asset state tracking and mission orchestration

- Design cloud and edge services where performance and correctness directly impact physical safety, including geofence enforcement, proximity alerts, and remote mission execution

- Collaborate directly with autonomy, perception, and vehicle-platform teams to establish robust APIs, data protocols, and state synchronization frameworks

- Build resilient data pipelines and APIs that transform high-volume vehicle metrics, logs, and state updates into actionable, queryable intelligence for customers

- Deploy, observe, and harden SaaS services operating across public cloud, private infrastructure, and air-gapped on-premise environments
