You will design performance benchmarks, enforce budgets, and mentor the team while collaborating with architects to improve real-time system reliability. Requires 7+ years of C++ expertise, deep concurrency knowledge, and hands-on performance engineering experience.

Key Highlights

Own performance, thread safety, and stability of AgileCore Runtime core (Blackboard, Behavior Engine)

Build and enforce performance benchmarks, budgets, and CI regression gates for real-time robotic systems

Collaborate with platform architects to optimize hot-path interfaces and improve real-time system reliability

Mentor engineers in performance, concurrency, and troubleshooting while maintaining shipping velocity

Key Responsibilities

Optimize latency, throughput, and jitter of AgileCore Runtime core components (Blackboard, Behavior Engine)

Design and implement real-time scheduling policies, CPU affinity, lock-free structures, and memory management for high-performance systems

Build performance benchmarks, budgets, and CI regression gates to enforce measurable performance standards

Ensure thread safety through ownership models, memory-order reasoning, and stress/soak testing with sanitizers

Investigate and resolve complex cross-boundary issues (software, OS, network, hardware) from field escalations

Collaborate with platform architects to refine performance budgets and hot-path interface contracts

Mentor engineers in performance, concurrency, and troubleshooting through code reviews and technical guidance

Improve debuggability with tracing, structured logging, runtime metrics, and crash handling for field support

Extend performance and stability practices to the Plugin SDK and C ABI for third-party integrations

Job Description

About the role :

At Agile Robots, we build powerful software frameworks to orchestrate complex robotic systems and solve challenging tasks. The solutions are sold to various international customers to enable them to control their robotic work cells. Smooth integration and scalable deployment are key goals.

AgileCore is meant to be a scalable platform that supports multiple projects in parallel. That only works if the platform underneath scales with it - if it stays fast, thread-safe, and diagnosable as projects, devices, and operating conditions multiply.
