Software Engineer, Robotics and Platform

Where this is going

Robots should be able to find what went wrong and get back to work. At selfpatch.ai we are building toward robots and production lines that repair themselves.

The loop starts with a real diagnostic stack: the machine reports a fault with the evidence around it. AI analysis works out the cause and proposes a fix. The fix goes to the machine over the air. Test routines check that it worked, with rollback if it did not. What was learned stays in the system, so the next machine with the same fault heals faster.

Machines handle their failures, people spend their time on what comes next.

What we have today

Our open source project https://github.com/selfpatch/ros2\_medkit ships in the official ROS 2 distribution and runs on real robots at robot makers. Engineers from robot makers contribute to it. We gave a main track talk at ROSCon Global 2026 in Toronto. We are now building the platform that takes this from one robot to fleets and factories.

Why people join

A hard problem every robotics team has and nobody has solved well. Software that runs on real machines, not in a demo. Code that is public, in a project other engineers already depend on. You work directly with the founders, help decide what we build and have the trust to see it through. No layers, no tickets written for you, no waiting for approval.

Who we look for

Engineers who take responsibility for making things work. You can turn an open problem into useful software and follow through when it reaches the field. You like deciding what needs doing. You explain your thinking, help others and change your mind when the evidence calls for it. You want a hand in building the company.

Our work spans ROS 2 and C++ on the robot, Rust and TypeScript on the platform, AI agents that reason about faults, OTA updates, and industrial protocols on the factory floor. Bring depth in one area and curiosity about the others.

The offer

Fully remote, international. Full time on a B2B contract. Up to EUR 50 per hour. Equity for people who take ownership.

How we hire

A call with the founders, a technical conversation about a real failure, then an offer if we both want to work together. Two weeks from first contact to decision.
