About the role

Figure is an AI robotics company developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots. The goal of the company is to ship humanoid robots with human level intelligence. Its robots are engineered to perform a variety of tasks in the home and commercial markets. Figure is headquartered in San Jose, CA.

The Middleware team builds the frameworks and infrastructure that every piece of software on the robot runs on: the messaging layer, the service lifecycle, and the tooling that keeps our entire fleet reliable and observable through every operation. Code written here runs on every robot we ship.

We are looking for a Software Engineering Intern to help us rebuild the core services that start, supervise, and monitor the robot's software modules, with real ownership of the design and the result deployed on hardware.
