Company Description

Adamo - Venture-backed robotics infrastructure startup

Job Description

Join a small, elite team building the data layer for robotics. You will develop low-latency video streaming and networking infrastructure that allows humans to remotely control humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles globally. By enabling sub-40ms latency, you provide the critical teleoperation backbone that generates high-quality training data for the future of autonomy.

Location

London, UK

Why this role is remarkable

• Work at the cutting edge of robotics and video engineering, building custom protocols from scratch rather than relying on off-the-shelf solutions like WebRTC
• Join as an early employee at a fast-growing, venture-backed startup, working directly with the founders to set the technical direction for the entire platform
• Solve high-stakes engineering challenges where every millisecond of latency reduction directly improves the safety and capability of real-world robotic systems

What you will do

• Build and optimize a custom low-latency video streaming protocol and distributed mesh network to support real-time teleoperation
• Implement multi-path bonding across LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi to ensure reliable data transmission for robotic fleets in the field
• Develop a Kafka-like streaming library and custom renderers to capture and process high-fidelity training data for autonomous systems

The ideal candidate

• Strong proficiency in Rust or a background in C/C++ with a deep desire to master low-level systems programming in Rust
• Proven experience in low-latency video streaming, custom networking protocols, or real-time infrastructure like cloud gaming or ROS2
• An independent builder who enjoys optimizing systems to the limit and shipping high-performance code that interacts with physical hardware

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network. Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description. We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it. Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
