Company mission

Dexterity's mission is to help people thrive and grow by freeing them to do work that humans do best, by transforming the world to make work more purposeful.

Role

Who you are

  • Strong knowledge of Modern C++ and Python
  • Strong experience with versioning and dependencies across multiple codebases
  • Experience with Linux (kernel, systemd, packaging systems, performance and debugging tools, etc..)
  • Knowledge of IPC techniques and implementation
  • Knowledge of containerization and paradigms (docker, kubernetes, etc...)
  • Strong grasp of networking concepts, principles, and tools (ARP, TCP, VLANs, DNS, NGINX, wireshark, etc…)
  • Strong experience with software development processes (testing, CI/CD, design documentation, project management workflow, code reviews, source control conventions)
  • Strong architectural and object oriented or functional design experience - able to start the right patterns of design for proper testability, debuggability, logging trackability, reliability, and scalability
  • Experience deploying softwares and configuring distributed systems
  • Knowledgeable about the full stack of software: web disciplines to low level systems

What the job involves

  • Build communication systems that span across multiple distributed systems
  • Design and drive efforts on testing and automation, logging and monitoring, code quality and performance, and documentation and knowledge sharing
  • Architect computational models that drive high performance perception pipelines
  • Provide guidance to other engineers about implementation, design architecture, and style
  • Design abstractions and APIs for testability, maintainability, scalability, usability

Our take

Dexterity emerged from stealth at an opportune, albeit tough, time in 2020, just as an accelerating labour crunch drove major demand for automated solutions in factories and warehouses. The company managed a major fundraise and immediately moved on to bigger and better things: expanding into the Japanese market, partnering with supply chain automation leader Dematic and achieving unicorn status with a greater than $1 billion valuation.

Unlike other companies which are fixated on developing increasingly sophisticated, more human-like robots, Dexterity’s takes a comparatively simple hardware approach. Its machines take care of highly repetitive tasks, while its SaaS platform shares everything it learns with each robot, amplifying intelligence across the fleet. Rather than seeking to replace human workforces it aims to augment them, freeing skilled workers for more complex tasks.

Considering that the worldwide labour shortage is heavily impacting the industrial sector, Dexterity is in a promising position to continue its upward trajectory over the next few years.. Indeed its recent partnerships with Sumitomo to supply 1,500 Dexterity robots in their warehouses and with FedEx for autonomous trailer loading are encouraging signs of things to come for the company.
