About the role

About Nimble

Nimble is an AI robotics company building the autonomous supply chain to enable fast, efficient, and sustainable commerce. We’re developing a general-purpose robot AI and a warehouse generalist superhumanoid robot, the first robot in the world capable of performing all core warehouse functions. We recently closed a $106M Series C at a $1B valuation, and we are continuing to grow our world-class team.

Mission: to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial.

Vision: invent the Autonomous Supply Chain – everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door – powered by industry-generalist superhumanoids to deliver faster, more efficient, and more sustainable commerce.

Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon and our board of directors include famed robotics and AI legends including Marc Raibert (founder of Boston Dynamics), Sebastian Thrun (founder of GoogleX, Waymo; Stanford Professor and considered the father of autonomous vehicles) and Fei-Fei Li (Chief Scientist of AI at Google and Director of Stanford’s AI Lab).

Join us and leave your mark on the future of robotics, AI, and global commerce.

The Role

As a Software Engineer on the Multi-Agent Systems team, you will design the algorithms and software that coordinate large fleets of robots operating in high-throughput, real-world warehouse environments. Your work will directly influence robot efficiency, safety, and the overall capacity and scalability of our intelligent fulfillment systems.

You will architect high-performance distributed robotics software, develop complex multi-robot planning and coordination capabilities, and build algorithm optimization that enables system robustness, reliability, and scale. This role blends advanced algorithm design with real-world production engineering — solving complex systems problems with concrete impact on warehouse throughput and robot performance.

If you enjoy building elegant, reliable systems that orchestrate dozens or hundreds of robots simultaneously, this role is for you.
