Role Outline Engineered Arts is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to build and maintain the robust server-side systems that power our humanoid robots. Working closely with product, devOps and robotics teams you will design, implement and optimize scalable APIs and services that drive our robots in real-time.
Our internal motto is “Be Wow,” and your backend architectures will form the invisible foundation that delivers truly seamless, high-performance robot experiences.
Data Management & Pipelines
Performance Monitoring & Optimization
Collaboration & Code Quality
Designing systems that gracefully handle intermittent connectivity and partial failures in field-deployed robots.
Scaling data ingestion and processing pipelines to accommodate growing robot fleets and richer telemetry streams.
Significant backend development experience in production systems (Python, Go, Java, or similar)
Experience with container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD tooling
Familiarity with distributed tracing and performance profiling tools (Jaeger, Zipkin)
Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
Understanding of network protocols and security best-practices (TLS, OAuth)
With 20 years of hardware and software development, our robots have been sold in over 30 countries worldwide with customers such as NASA, PwC, Meta and many more.
Our Ameca robot is well known as ‘the face of AI’ and a social media viral success, taking advantage of the generative AI craze. Along with our ultra-realistic Mesmer range of animated figures our robots continue to surprise and excite visitors at museums, theme parks, visitor attractions and trade shows as well as aid leading universities with AI and robotics research. We are also exploring how our humanoid robot technology can disrupt other robotics sectors such as the growing cobot sub-segment of the industrial robotics market.
Further to our hardware range we also offer our robots as a virtual offering. This virtual robot acts in exactly the same way as the real life robots. This allows our customers to use a mix of real and virtual characters and allows 3rd party developers to create new and exciting applications on top of our robot platform, opening it up to new use cases and market segments.
We are a team of dedicated engineers and creatives striving to develop the very best experiences for our customers. We explore and challenge the human perception of robots as well as the fear and discomfort and the excitement and joy life-like mechanical humanoids present.
