Description
Nimble is an AI robotics company building the autonomous supply chain to power fast, efficient and economical commerce. We’re training robot AGI to power a proprietary generalist supply chain superhumanoid, the first robot in the world capable of performing thousands of tasks across the supply chain. We’ve raised over $220M at over $1B valuation and formed a strategic alliance with FedEx to build a national network of autonomous warehouses capable of generating many billions in annual revenue. We are a hardcore and obsessed team of the world’s best engineers and operators. If you are obsessed with your craft, enjoy a high-intensity and fast moving high impact environment, are super high agency in getting hard things done and want to be part of building the world’s most legendary robotics company at the most pivotal moment in history, we want to work with you.
We are on a mission to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial. We will accomplish this by training robot AGI to invent and build the Autonomous Supply Chain – everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door – powered by generalist superhumanoids.
Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon and our board of directors include famed robotics and AI legends including Fei-Fei Li (Chief Scientist of AI at Google and Director of Stanford’s AI Lab), Marc Raibert (founder of Boston Dynamics), and Sebastian Thrun (founder of GoogleX, Waymo; Stanford Professor and considered the father of autonomous vehicles).
Let’s be legendary.

About this role
Nimble Robotics is building autonomous supply chain infrastructure, and this Software Engineer III role sits at the center of that mission—you'd be developing the cloud platform (WMS, TMS, OMS, and related systems) that orchestrates their robotic fulfillment operations. The Cloud Logistics team is small and lean, roughly ten people, which means you'd own substantial scope: designing automation workflows, shipping features end-to-end across frontend and backend, and taking production support responsibilities. The work is approximately 60% backend and 40% frontend, with occasional extended hours during major customer launches.
You'll need at least three years of industry experience and solid fundamentals across the full stack: REST, SQL, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and strong testing discipline. The role expects you to debug performance bottlenecks, mentor junior engineers, and communicate clearly through technical documentation. Robotics or logistics domain knowledge isn't required—what matters is your ability to build reliable, scalable cloud applications and operate them in production. Terraform, GitLab CI, Go, and GraphQL are bonuses but not essential.
This is an in-office position in San Francisco with a base salary of $160,000 to $210,000 plus equity. It's a high-intensity environment where you'd be working alongside a team backed by serious AI and robotics leadership (Fei-Fei Li, Marc Raibert, Sebastian Thrun on the board) and a strategic FedEx partnership. If you thrive in fast-moving, high-agency settings and want to build infrastructure that directly powers a scaled robotics operation, this could be a strong fit.
