About Fid Labs
Fid Labs is building developer tools tailor-made for robotics, powered by the latest in generative AI. Our coding agent, Fid, understands systems programming languages, tools, and workflows, and makes it easy to work with niche or custom hardware components. By redefining embedded software workflows that have been stagnant for decades, we’re enabling anyone to build the next generation of robotics, industrials, aerospace, and autonomous vehicles. We have raised $1.7mm in pre-seed funding from top VCs, including 8VC and Boost VC, and recently launched our first product.
The Role
As the first dedicated backend engineer at Fid Labs, you will lead the architecture and development of entirely new backend infrastructure, especially within compliant cloud environments like AWS GovCloud or sensitive on-premises deployments. You will build infrastructure to meet the stringent security and performance requirements of customers building some of the world’s most impactful new hardware. You will also work side-by-side with the founding team of Fid Labs and experience all facets of building a startup. The role is primarily in-person in New York City, but with flexibility around occasional remote work needs.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and development of new backend infrastructure
- Support or migrate existing serverless infrastructure as our product scales
- Work across the entire product lifecycle from concept to production
- Communicate and collaborate effectively with other code owners and leadership
- Shape the culture, values, and processes of a young and rapidly growing engineering team
Requirements
- 5+ years of backend software engineering experience
- Proficiency in programming languages such as C++, Python, or Rust
- Proven track record of architecting scalable and performant backend infrastructure
- Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and systems performance
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS (including serverless infrastructure such as Lambda and CloudFormation)
- Experience with systems for information indexing and retrieval or deploying in compliance-sensitive environments (AWS GovCloud, Azure Gov, etc.) will make you stand out
- Ability to learn quickly, operate independently, and exercise sound technical judgment with minimal oversight in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities and rapid iteration cycles
- Must be a U.S. Citizen or active Green Card holder (this also means we are unable to sponsor any visa)
