Job Summary
In this role, you develop modern client SDKs in Python, C++, and Java, implement CI pipelines, and enhance API documentation while collaborating closely with the Robot Platform Integration Engineer.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Protoc + buf toolchain for client-side code generation; CI pipelines regenerate clients on every proto change.
- Python client SDK: idiomatic wrappers with context managers, async/await variants, IDE completion stubs, pip wheels published to internal PyPI.
- C++ client SDK: RAII channel lifecycle, async, language-idiomatic exception hierarchy, Conan/vcpkg packages.
- Java client SDK: Builder patterns for requests, CompletableFuture, Maven Central artifacts.
- Channel lifecycle handling across languages: timeouts, deadline propagation, reconnection logic, TLS/mTLS configuration.
- gRPC status to language-idiomatic exception mapping: hierarchical exception types with semantically meaningful subclasses.
- Client/server version-skew compatibility tables - published policies on client-server version support, automated compatibility tests.
- Semantic versioning aligned with the platform architect, deprecation policy enforcement with linter warnings, migration guides.
- Simulation mode toggle inside the client: same proto interface, simulation backend for offline app development.
- Observability hooks per language: structured logging, OpenTelemetry tracing context propagation, Prometheus client metrics.
- Reference example applications per language demonstrating canonical patterns: pick-and-place, mode switching, fault recovery, telemetry streaming.
- Auto-generated documentation per language: Sphinx (Python), Doxygen (C++), Javadoc (Java); examples kept in sync with API surface.
- Internal customer onboarding: skill bundles, evaluation harnesses, R&D notebooks, demo apps—all start from your reference template.
- RFC co-review with the Robot Platform Integration Engineer on every proto change.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Proficient in at least two: modern Python (typing, asyncio, pyproject.toml/wheels), modern C++ (17/20, async patterns, build systems), Java (CompletableFuture, Maven build).
- Hands-on with gRPC ecosystem: protoc, buf, grpc-python, grpc-java, grpc-cpp - has implemented production clients.
- API design fluency: gRPC/REST/GraphQL, semantic versioning, deprecation policy authorship, backwards-compatibility analysis.
- Documentation tooling: Sphinx, Doxygen, MkDocs; capable of owning end-to-end documentation deliverables.
- Cross-language async patterns: understands trade-offs among sync, async, and streaming gRPC across languages and their ergonomic differences.
Experience
- Developer experience with platform SDKs - has shipped client libraries used by external or internal customers.
- Multi-language packaging: manylinux pip wheels, Conan or vcpkg recipes, Maven Central publishing-experienced with full CI pipelines.
