Responsibilities
- Design, build, and run agentic workflows across our delivery process — requirements review, automated checks and gates, early risk detection, and a knowledge base that makes everything we've learned from past projects available to agents and people — owning each from concept through production.
- Build the way we build: reusable components, skills, and patterns for tool integrations, feedback loops, and identity, secret, and auth management. You know the agentic toolbox inside out and decide what we actually need and what we don't.
- Own quality end to end: design and run evals, monitor agents in production, and manage observability, cost, guardrails, and security so teams can trust what the agents produce.
- Design human-in-the-loop workflows that learn: people review and correct agent output at defined checkpoints, and those corrections flow back into better prompts, evals, and components, so the agents keep improving.
- Embed with our delivery teams to understand how their work actually flows, identify where agents create the most leverage, and define together what good looks like.
- Drive adoption and help shape how RobCo uses AI internally: deliver agents through the tools teams already use every day, establish best practices, and build paved paths so teams can eventually create their own agents.
Requirements
- Several years of software engineering experience and the seniority to take a problem from ambiguous idea to production system, with clean architecture, solid testing, and maintainable code.
- Shipped LLM-powered or agentic systems that real users depend on, not just prototypes: tool calling, structured outputs, multi-step workflows. Deep, practical experience with the agentic stack — orchestration, tool use, MCP, memory, and retrieval — in production environments.
- Strong context engineering and prompt engineering skills: you think carefully about what the model sees and in what structure, you treat prompts as versioned, tested engineering artifacts, and you have a rigorous way of judging whether the output is actually good.
- Built knowledge bases and put RAG pipelines to work. You don't need to be a retrieval specialist; you need to make organizational knowledge reliably available to agents and people.
- Thinks in terms of systems and user outcomes, not individual scripts and demos, and brings a component mindset: while building the first agent, you're already thinking about the second and the tenth.
- Genuine enjoyment of working with non-engineering teams: understanding their process, speaking their language, and designing automation around how they actually work.
- Strong proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript, plus fluency with SaaS APIs, webhooks, and the practical realities of integrating business systems.
- Ownership of outcomes and a startup way of working: scope intentionally, build smart, ship fast, and prefer pragmatic solutions that ship over perfect ones that don't.
- Fluent English

About RobCo
Founded in Munich in 2020, RobCo leads the transition toward fully Autonomous Industrial Robotics. Our mission is to deploy RobCo in every factory - solving the industrial labor shortage through end-to-end robotics that just works. Powered by Physical AI, our solutions combine a scalable modular hardware architecture with intelligent software that adapts to your use case, improves over time, and requires zero upfront investment through our Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. We solve our customers' most pressing pain points - labor shortage, cost pressure, workplace safety, and national reshoring - across the full spectrum of Autonomous Industrial Robotics. With $160M raised from investors including Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation, and Sequoia, 200+ people globally, and 2.5M+ operating hours in the field, we are deploying robots in factories across Europe and the United States - with our US operations headquartered in Austin, TX, and our RobCo Bay Area Demo Lab in San Francisco.
