Company Description
Paddington Robotics Limited is a pre-seed/seed stage, 15-person robotics startup in London founded by a Magic Pony co-founder and building AI-driven hardware to solve real-world labor challenges.
Job Description
As a Robotic Software Engineer at Paddington Robotics Limited, you will own core subsystems end-to-end, moving between high-level autonomy and low-level embedded control. You will write production C++ and Python for physical robots deployed in chaotic, real-world environments, working alongside an elite team from Amazon, InstaDeep, and top-tier UK universities.
Location
London, UK
Why this role is remarkable
- Join a team led by a Magic Pony co-founder (acquired by Twitter) and composed of elite engineers from Amazon, InstaDeep, Imperial, UCL, and Cambridge.
- Work on physical robots that are already shipping and being deployed at customer sites, tackling the messy "edge cases" of reality rather than staying in simulation.
- Enjoy high ownership in a scrappy, 15-person startup where you influence everything from motion planning and SLAM to firmware and sensor fusion.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Will Do
- Take end-to-end ownership of a key robotics subsystem, including specification, implementation, testing, and maintenance of code running on real hardware.
- Develop and optimize algorithms across various domains such as SLAM, navigation, computer vision, and high-performance computing using C++ and Python.
- Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams and spend time on customer sites to understand real-world requirements and iterate on hardware-software integration.
The ideal candidate
- Proven expertise in Python and C/C++ with a strong track record of shipping software that interacts with physical sensors, actuators, and hardware.
- Hands-on experience in robotics, specifically with microcontrollers, image processing, CUDA, or SLAM, and a Masters degree in Computer Science or a related field.
- A pragmatic, low-ego problem solver who thrives in dynamic, multi-disciplinary environments and is comfortable taking projects from concept to completion.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
