Senior Software Engineer - Platform Engineering

Senior Engineer In Velocity Engineering

At Andromeda Robotics, we're not just imagining the future of human-robot relationships, we're building it. Abi is the first emotionally intelligent humanoid companion robot, designed to bring care, conversation, and joy to the people who need it most. Backed by tier-1 investors and with customers already deploying Abi across aged care and healthcare, we're scaling fast, and we're doing it with an engineering-first culture that's obsessed with pushing the limits of what's possible.

This is a rare moment to join: we're post-technical validation, pre-ubiquity, and building out the team that will take Abi from early access to global scale.

As a Senior Engineer in Velocity Engineering, you will design and own a suite of developer tools that cut the time from idea to production at Andromeda. From reproducible development environments and project scaffolders to accelerated CI pipelines, simulation orchestration, and one-click releases, you'll deliver the systems that keep engineers shipping quickly and reliably.

You'll also build and maintain the toolchain that supports robotics development end-to-end, including deterministic simulation runners, curated scenario libraries, and integrated software + hardware-in-the-loop test harnesses. Your goal is to define the golden path for development workflows and ensure it's the fastest, safest route the team can take.

How you'll make an impact:

• Design and maintain a suite of developer tools, including self-service environments, golden containers, and standardised templates. Define and evolve golden paths for firmware, services, and robotics applications.
• Build and optimise CI/CD pipelines for firmware, robotics, and cloud systems. Implement caching, remote execution, progressive delivery, and safe rollbacks, guided by DORA metrics.
• Develop and manage simulation infrastructure, orchestrating large-scale runs with deterministic results and time synchronisation. Maintain scenario libraries and CI-accessible APIs.
• Work with the team to standardise hardware-in-the-loop and manufacturing test automation, covering flashing, calibration, and data capture. Integrate results into dashboards and automated release gates.
• Improve release engineering to make builds and deployments faster and more reliable. Reduce flaky tests and speed feedback loops through profiling and selective test execution.
• Streamline onboarding with one-command setup, reproducible environments, and clear documentation. Provide sample repositories and maintain an up-to-date internal developer portal.
• Add observability to development workflows, instrumenting build, test, and deploy pipelines. Track SLOs and apply SPACE metrics to identify and address bottlenecks.
• Embed security and compliance into CI workflows with secrets management, policy-as-code, and automated checks that preserve both speed and safety.
