Viam, New York, NY
New York City (Hybrid – 3+ days per week in office)
The Fleet Management team builds the control plane for machines running on Viam — the cloud systems and web applications that allow developers to configure devices, deploy software across fleets, and operate machines at scale.
Our work sits at the intersection of product engineering and platform infrastructure. Engineers on this team build systems developers interact with directly while also evolving the backend architecture that supports machines operating in the real world.
The stack includes Golang backend services, modern web applications (Svelte / Typescript), MongoDB, and gRPC APIs.
Engineers on this team own systems end-to-end, from architecture and implementation through production operation. As the number of machines and developers using Viam grows, the team is focused on evolving the architecture that allows fleets of machines to be managed reliably at scale.
As a Senior or Staff Engineer, you’ll help raise the engineering bar through architecture discussions, mentorship, and guidance on complex projects.
We’re looking for an experienced engineer who enjoys owning systems end-to-end and shipping production software.
Experience with robotics or IoT is not required.
Building software for machines introduces challenges that traditional software systems rarely face. Devices operate in real-world environments, networks are unreliable, and software must interact with hardware, sensors, and real-time data.
At Viam, engineers build the platform and tools that make those machines programmable, observable, and manageable at scale.
Viam does not accept unsolicited agency resumes or calls from recruitment agencies or search firms. Please do not forward resumes to our jobs alias or Viam employees. Viam is not responsible for any fees related to unsolicited resumes.
Founded by Eliot Horowitz, co-founder and former CTO of MongoDB, Viam is a novel robotics engineering platform that lets you configure, control, and manage robots intuitively and quickly.

We’re a ~100-person company headquartered in New York City.
Our culture emphasizes ownership, curiosity, and decisive execution.
We know great engineers come from many backgrounds. If you're excited about the challenges we’re solving, we encourage you to apply. The salary for this role is between $ 190,000 - 235,000 /year.
