Our engineering team is hiring a backend software engineer to contribute to the development of our Warehouse Management System (WMS) and its companion Handy Terminal device, both of which are integral to our logistics product suite. These systems are designed to seamlessly integrate with our state-of-the-art ASRS systems.
The team’s mission is to build and maintain a robust, tested, and high-performance backend architecture, including databases and APIs, shared across all deployments. While the role emphasizes strong software development and engineering practices, we also value open communication and a collaborative team spirit.
【This role is open for candidates who can be based either in Chennai (India) or Tokyo (Japan)】
In this role, you will:
- Design, develop, and maintain a key component that supports the efficient flow of supply chain operations.
- Enhance code quality and ensure comprehensive test coverage through continuous improvement.
- Collaborate effectively with cross-functional development teams to integrate solutions and align best practices.
Minimum Qualifications:
- 3-5 years of professional experience with Python, with a focus on versions 3.10 and above.
- Practical experience working with web frameworks such as FastAPI or Django.
- Strong understanding of SQL database principles, particularly with PostgreSQL.
- Proficiency in testing and building automation tools, including pytest, GitHub Actions, and Docker.
Bonus Points:
- Experience with NoSQL databases, particularly with Redis.
- Practical experience with asynchronous programming (e.g., asyncio) or message bus systems.
- Ability to clearly articulate technology choices and rationale (e.g., Tornado vs. Flask).
- Experience presenting at conferences or meetups, regardless of scale.
- Contributions to open-source projects.
- Familiarity with WMS concepts and logistics-related processes.
Is This the Right Role for You?
- You are motivated by the opportunity to make a tangible impact and deliver significant business value.
- You appreciate APIs that are thoughtfully designed with clear, well-defined objectives.
- You thrive on understanding how your work integrates and contributes to a larger, cohesive system.

Benefits:
- Competitive salary package.
- Opportunity to work with a highly talented and diverse team.
- Comprehensive visa and relocation support.
About Rapyuta Robotics
Rapyuta Robotics is a global technology startup that builds cloud robotics solutions. Their goal is to empower lives through connected machines so humans can focus on intellectually challenging and creative work. They have around 110 employees across their offices in Japan and India.
While improvements in technology are helping to make robotics more accessible to markets, the ability to integrate all the required expertise remains a barrier for most companies. Rapyuta Robotics is building a platform to make robots more attainable and useful to anyone.
Their platform makes it easy for businesses to deploy robotics solutions without needing in-house robotics expertise. By integrating robot hardware, software, sensor data, and applications in the cloud — where powerful data centers manage the heavy computation — Rapyuta’s platform lets end-users focus on their business processes instead of on managing robot hardware or software infrastructure.
Empowering Lives with Connected Machines.
Rapyuta Robotics strongly believes that the dirty, dull, and dangerous work should be automated and people should be given an option to take up more intellectually challenging and creative work. They aim to enable this automation with machines that are connected and coordinated.
They hope that robotics will not exclude people, but work for them as a familiar partner, creating new ways of working and new revenue opportunities.
