Lead Software Engineer, Delivery Platform
Serve Robotics- Full Time
- Mid-level (3 to 4 years), Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates should have 5+ years of experience as a software engineer, ideally with prior experience in a lead or mentorship role, strong technical depth in at least one modern language (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Swift, Kotlin), and demonstrated ability to triage and resolve production issues quickly and effectively. Experience performing thoughtful code reviews and mentoring other engineers is also required.
As the Lead Production Engineer, you will own the backlog of bug fixes, support tickets, and maintenance tasks, prioritize ruthlessly to maximize product quality and engineering efficiency, mentor and review pull requests to uphold technical standards and best practices, jump in to fix bugs, resolve production issues, reduce tech debt, and implement minor features—leading by example, collaborate cross-functionally with product, support, and senior engineering leaders to triage user issues and align on tradeoffs, and identify opportunities to streamline workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and make our product more maintainable over time.
