Who this role is best for

Best suited to candidates with strong backend and data-modeling experience working in operations-heavy domains like construction or logistics.

Best fit for

  • Candidates with 5+ years of production software experience and a background in operations-heavy domains
    — “5+ years building and shipping production software, owning systems from design through operation”
  • Individuals who can design foundational APIs and work with external partners
    — “Design foundational APIs that other engineering teams and external partners build on”
  • Engineers comfortable with edge systems, IoT devices, and managing physical assets
    — “Experience managing fleets of physical assets, IoT devices or robots”

Things to consider

  • The role requires working in the field with technicians and operators, not just in an office setting
    — “Spend real time with the people who use what you build, in the office and in the field”
  • Candidates must be comfortable with ambiguity and defining vague cross-functional problems
    — “Comfort with ambiguity: you can take a vague cross-functional problem, define it, and drive it to done”

How to stand out

  • Highlight experience with fleet management systems and real-world deployment of software
    — “every machine we bring autonomy to has to be vetted, provisioned, calibrated, deployed, monitored, updated and serviced”
  • Showcase your ability to build full-stack applications with user-centric design
    — “Build the applications that technicians, dispatchers and operations teams use every day”
  • Emphasize your background in data modeling and backend services for scalable systems
    — “Strong backend and data-modeling skills: you've designed schemas and services that many other systems depend on”
  • Demonstrate your experience with high-uptime services and observability on AWS
    — “Experience running high-uptime services on AWS with strong observability”
  • Position yourself as someone who bridges technical systems with on-site operations teams
    — “Clear communication with teams outside engineering”

About the role

JOIN THE TEAM BRINGING ADVANCED AUTONOMY TO THE BUILT WORLD

At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and into the real world. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. Today, we're deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction equipment across the country, improving safety on job sites and accelerating schedules on critical infrastructure projects.

We're not here debating the future of AI. We're deploying it in the real world. In just two years, we've raised $350M and achieved the first fully autonomous excavator deployments in construction.

This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems, we'd love to have you join us.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As Bedrock scales deployments nationwide, every machine we bring autonomy to has to be vetted, provisioned, calibrated, deployed, monitored, updated and serviced. Fleet Engineering builds the platform behind that lifecycle: the system of record, services and applications that teams across Bedrock use to run a fleet growing to thousands of machines. Many of these systems will be used by external partners as well.

The work crosses disciplines. One week you're architecting how we track sensor calibrations across every machine. The next, you're making a fault on an operator's tablet readable at a glance. You'll own problems end to end, working closely with technicians and operators in the field as well as multidisciplinary engineers across hardware, ML and robotics.

Also, you get to drive 100,000 lb excavators.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own the fleet system of record: the data model and services for machines, their hardware, worksites and deployments, and how each moves through its lifecycle
  • Build the applications that technicians, dispatchers and operations teams use every day to vet machines, schedule installs, track inventory and keep the fleet healthy
  • Build the services every robot phones home to: delivering identity, credentials, calibrations and configuration to machines in the field, and always knowing what's running where
  • Move petabytes of sensor data off remote job sites across the country, bringing home the real-world data that powers our ML and learning flywheel
  • Spend real time with the people who use what you build, in the office and in the field, and turn messy real-world workflows into simple, durable software
  • Design foundational APIs that other engineering teams and external partners build on, and evolve them safely as the business changes
  • Lean into AI and agents, from automating development workflows to fleet triage and operations

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 5+ years building and shipping production software, owning systems from design through operation
  • Strong backend and data-modeling skills: you've designed schemas and services that many other systems depend on
  • Ability to build full-stack applications, including interfaces people actually want to use
  • Product sense: you start from the user's problem and would rather ship the useful version than the elegant one
  • Comfort with ambiguity: you can take a vague cross-functional problem, define it, and drive it to done
  • Clear communication with teams outside engineering. Your users may operate excavators, repair hardware in the field, or work directly with customers.

PREFERRED

  • Experience managing fleets of physical assets, IoT devices or robots
  • Experience with edge systems: intermittent connectivity, device provisioning, large data transfers
  • Experience in operations-heavy domains such as manufacturing, logistics, supply chain, field service or construction
  • Experience running high-uptime services on AWS with strong observability
  • Experience with Python, TypeScript, Rust or Postgres
