About the role
About Dimensional Dimensional is building the foundation for physical intelligence in general-purpose robotics. We develop a unified framework that enables robots to perceive, reason, learn, and act across diverse real-world environments and embodiments. Dimensional’s mission is to make physical intelligence programmable, scalable, and accessible -- accelerating the development of generalist robots that can adapt, learn, and perform reliably in the real world. Our platform sits between robot hardware and AI models, providing a modular, composable architecture for training and deploying robotic intelligence at scale. By abstracting hardware differences and standardizing core capabilities—such as perception, spatial understanding, decision-making, and control—Dimensional allows developers and partners to build, transfer, and operate robotic skills efficiently across platforms. About This Role This role is for an experienced software engineer who thrives in large, complex codebases and cares deeply about engineering quality. You’ll be building the foundational software and infrastructure that everything else depends on. This is not a “vibe coding” role — we’re looking for someone who has spent years shipping and maintaining real systems. Core
Responsibilities Design, implement, and maintain core software and infrastructure systems. Work within and continuously improve a large, evolving production codebase. Establish and uphold engineering standards and best practices. Collaborate closely with robotics, agents, and deployment teams to deliver integrated solutions. Contribute to architectural decisions that enable scalability, reliability, and long-term company growth. What We Look For Senior to staff-level experience in software engineering roles. Deep experience designing, maintaining, and evolving large-scale production codebases. Strong systems thinking, with a demonstrated focus on code quality, reliability, and long-term maintainability. Prior contributions to open-source projects or other publicly visible technical work. Comfort owning ambiguous, high-impact technical problems and driving them to resolution with minimal direction. Preferred
Qualifications 8–10+ years of professional experience in software engineering roles. Experience working across infrastructure, backend systems, and/or developer platform environments. Demonstrated record of substantial open-source contributions. Professional background comparable to senior engineers at infrastructure-driven technology companies.
About Dimensional
Dimensional is building the operating system for general-purpose robotics — the foundational software layer that sits between robot hardware and AI models, enabling robots to perceive, reason, learn, and act across diverse real-world environments.
Think of Dimensional as what Windows was to the personal computer. Before Windows, computers ran on fragmented DOS-based interfaces that weren't built for people to build on or use. Dimensional is doing the same for robotics: creating a unified, developer-first platform that enables software engineers, roboticists, and hobbyists to deploy and operate robots without stitching together 10 fragmented open-source tools.
The platform provides a modular, composable architecture for training and deploying robotic intelligence at scale. By abstracting hardware differences and standardizing core capabilities — perception, spatial understanding, navigation, decision-making, and control — Dimensional allows developers and partners to build, transfer, and operate robotic skills efficiently across platforms and embodiments.
Key highlights:
- $30M raised — making Dimensional one of the best-capitalized software robotics startups in the space
- Open source — the entire platform is available on GitHub, attracting a mission-driven engineering community
- Hardware distribution partnerships — Dimensional is the distributor for two of the largest robotics hardware OEMs in the world, giving them unique go-to-market leverage
- Second-time founder — CEO Stosh previously dropped out of MIT and co-founded Mock Industries, now valued at $1.8B after raising $500M
- Early and lean — ~10 people in the SF office, almost entirely engineers and the founder. Product-focused, flat structure, high ownership
Dimensional is actively deploying across verticals including security, agriculture, and data centers, with a rapidly scaling commercial go-to-market motion backed by forward-deployed engineers working directly with customers on real-world robotic deployments.
