About the role

About Tutor

We believe robots are the biggest lever we have to making the physical world a better, more affordable place. But robots are a rounding error in our society: nearly nine out of ten American factories and warehouses don’t even have a single robot, and robots have yet to make their way into our homes or places of business.

Tutor Intelligence is changing that.

Tutor is a robotics research and deployment company, building generally capable robot hardware and artificial intelligence to enable robots to go where no robots have gone before. Sonny is a semi-humanoid robot with frontier dexterity approaching the human form. Cassie does back-breaking work, moving boxes, pallets, and bulk goods for businesses from family-owned manufacturers to some of the largest brands in the world. Tutor robots are manufactured at scale and operate as a network, combining the whole fleet’s learned experience to train ever more capable robot artificial intelligence.

Founded at MIT and headquartered in Watertown, MA, our team is full stack: we design and manufacture robot hardware, train our own models, work directly with the smallest and largest end-customers, and maintain our fleet across the United States. We’re a team of researchers, engineers, technicians, operators, and sellers who love building things and solving hard problems.

Our mission is grand: robots everywhere, for the common good, raising the standard of living across North America, and then the world.

The Role As a Full Stack Software Engineer at Tutor Intelligence, you’ll design, build, and deploy user interfaces and systems which push the frontier of what robots are capable of. As a contributor to our XR applications, you will write performant, GPU-enabled frontend interfaces for observing a robot's surroundings in real-time. You will also write scalable cloud infrastructure to command and orchestrate fleets of robots.

Responsibilities - Design and implement control interfaces for real-world robotics systems

- Own projects end-to-end, from early concept and prototyping through production deployment

- Work closely with Engineering, Operations, Product, and Leadership to define and ship solutions

- Improve system reliability, scalability, and observability in production environments

- Debug complex systems-level issues across hardware and software

- Help shape technical direction, best practices, and team workflows as Tutor scales

Requirements - Strong foundations in Python and React

- Experience operating in fast-moving, resource-constrained environments

- Clear communicator who collaborates well across technical and non-technical teams

- Strong sense of ownership and a bias toward shipping meaningful work

- Genuine interest in robotics, AI, and solving hard real-world problems
