Company Description
AUAR is a London-based robotics and Physical AI company automating homebuilding through the deployment of robotic MicroFactories that produce timber structures on-demand.
Job Description
Lead a specialized software team at AUAR to develop MasterBuilder, the platform orchestrating robotic home construction. You will bridge the gap between digital design and physical manufacturing, shipping code that drives real-world production. This hands-on leadership role involves shaping foundational architecture, managing delivery milestones, and scaling systems to manage global MicroFactory deployments.
Location
London, UK
Why this role is remarkable
- Code with physical impact: Your work directly controls robotic arms and MicroFactories, turning digital designs into physical homes rather than just rendering data.
- Mission-driven innovation: Help solve the global housing crisis by making homebuilding faster, more sustainable, and affordable through cutting-edge Physical AI and automation.
- Inclusive leadership at scale: Join a diverse team where 50% of technical leadership are women, working from a massive 11,000 sq ft R&D facility in London.
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
- Lead and mentor a high-performing team of engineers, owning the development plan, execution, and technical roadmap for the MasterBuilder platform.
- Stay hands-on by delivering high-quality full-stack code and conducting substantive reviews to ensure architectural integrity across robotics and web environments.
- Collaborate directly with the CTO to scale systems from managing a single MicroFactory to orchestrating fifty units across diverse international construction sites.
The ideal candidate
- Proven experience leading engineering delivery and ownership for small teams within a fast-paced startup or high-growth technology environment.
- Deep technical expertise in modern full-stack development, specifically Node.js, TypeScript, React, and Three.js, with exposure to robotics or hardware control.
- Strategic thinker comfortable working 4+ days per week on-site in London, with a passion for physical AI and real-world engineering challenges.
