Responsibilities
Factory is on the lookout for skilled Software Engineers to join our Droid team. You will tackle the complex engineering challenges critical to the operational excellence and evolution of our autonomous Droids.
What you will do and achieve:
- Play a leading role in the design, development, and optimization of the technical challenges that underpin our Droids, focusing on scalability, efficiency, and robustness.
- Engineer solutions that navigate and manipulate complex technical topics related to software systems like parsers, git, compilers, static analysis tools, and function calling mechanisms.
- Work closely with our AI researchers and engineers to ensure seamless integration between AI-driven components and the foundational systems that support them.
- Take ownership of orchestration, indexing, data storage, and retrieval processes, ensuring Droids can efficiently process and analyze large volumes of codebase data.
- Drive the adoption of best practices in code quality, security, and architecture design, contributing to a culture of technical excellence and innovation.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- Proven experience as a software engineer, with a demonstrable ability to build complex, high-performance, and reliable systems. Experience in developing tools for software analysis or in domains like compilers, runtime systems, or similar areas is highly valued.
- Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, C++), and familiarity with software engineering tools and practices (e.g., Git, CI/CD pipelines).
- Knowledge of systems programming and an understanding of how to work with large codebases and the challenges involved in manipulating and understanding code at scale.
- The team goes into the office 5 days a week in San Francisco (walking distance to Caltrain).
