About the role
This Staff Backend Engineer will build the foundational infrastructure for Nidus's machine learning pipelines, focusing on creating robust, scalable backend systems for advanced robotics.
The role involves owning the data collection and storage pipeline for robotics sensor data, making key technical decisions, and functioning as a research engineer for the ML team to accelerate their iteration cycles. This is a generalist software engineering role focused on the backend, particularly on building production systems for large-scale data and data pipelines, rather than internal tooling.
About Nidus Technologies
Nidus Technologies is building autonomous manufacturing systems powered by AI and robotics, with a focus on solving critical bottlenecks in the U.S. defense industrial base. The company’s mission is to increase manufacturing output without increasing headcount by creating an intelligence layer that enables machines, like robotic arms, to operate continuously and autonomously. By combining robotics with cutting-edge machine learning approaches such as vision-language-action models, Nidus aims to transform how physical production systems run, making them more efficient, scalable, and resilient in environments where skilled labor is constrained.
