About Nimble

Nimble is a frontier robotics and AI company building the next era of autonomous logistics. We design, manufacture, and deploy intelligent robots that enable fast, efficient, and sustainable commerce at global scale. Our team is building generalized robot intelligence and developing the world’s first generalist super‑humanoid robots capable of performing all core warehouse workflows with superhuman performance.

We recently closed a $106M Series C at a $1B valuation, and we are continuing to grow our world‑class team. Our long‑term vision is to create the Autonomous Supply Chain—reinventing how goods move through factories, warehouses, and last‑mile distribution using next‑generation intelligent robotic systems.

Nimble was founded out of Stanford and Carnegie Mellon’s top AI labs and is backed by the world’s most prestigious investors. Our board includes iconic leaders in AI and robotics such as Marc Raibert (Founder of Boston Dynamics), Fei‑Fei Li (Former Chief Scientist of AI at Google, Director of Stanford’s AI lab), and Sebastian Thrun (Waymo, Founder of Google X, Kitty Hawk, and Udacity).

Join us and leave your mark on the future of robotics, AI, and global commerce.

Role Summary

We’re looking for a passionate and experienced Software Engineer to build and enhance our core robotic fleet simulation platform. This role is central to safeguarding our software releases, integrating with critical systems, and enabling our path to the desired operational volume. You’ll own the development of a robust, user‑friendly, and highly effective simulation environment that drives business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Platform Development : Design, develop, and maintain a robust and user‑friendly robotic fleet simulation platform, including seamless integration capabilities, an intuitive UI, streamlined workflows, and efficient data pipelines.
  • Automated Release Guard : Implement and manage nightly, automated robotic fleet simulations to act as a crucial software release guard, with a roadmap to expand coverage to robotic control software releases.
  • System Integration : Drive ad‑hoc integration projects between the robotic fleet simulator and other warehouse systems software.
  • Simulation Configuration : Configure, manage, and optimize input parameters and models within the simulator to accurately reflect real‑world warehouse operations.
  • Data Integrity & Analysis Pipeline : Ensure the integrity of simulation output data, own the data management pipeline, and establish organized systems for data analysis and consumption by cross‑functional teams.
  • Collaboration : Work closely with the core simulation software team and simulation validation engineer to align development with operational requirements.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelors or masters in computer science or electrical engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 3+ years of professional experience in software development, preferably in simulation, modeling, or game engine development.
  • Proficiency in Python, C++ and experience with software architecture, API design, and data pipeline technologies.
  • Experience with CI / CD tools, automated testing frameworks, and large‑scale data analysis tools.
  • A strong commitment to quality, automation, and creating developer tools that are reliable and easy to use.
  • $120,000 - $200,000 a year

    The above range is the base salary range. This position will also provide generous equity!

    Culture

    We embrace challenges and strive to make the impossible possible each day. We’re not in this to do what’s easy or to be mediocre. We want to create something legendary and leave our mark on the world. We’re ambitious, we’re gritty, we’re humble and we’re relentlessly resourceful in pursuit of our goals. If this sounds like you then you might be a great fit!
