VP Engineering, AI Robotics Platform
UK (remote) - £130K + Stock (With flex for the right person)
I'm partnering with a fast-growing AI robotics company hiring a VP Engineering. Their software runs on robots at customer sites and on a cloud platform on AWS. They're scaling from around 70 robots to 1,000+ in the next two years, and they need someone to make releases fast and safe as the fleet grows.
The challenge: robots can't all update at once, so the cloud has to keep working with a mix of software versions in the field. You'll bring robot and cloud releases into one process and move the team towards daily deployments.
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'll do
- Lead about 25 engineers through four chapter leads (robotics, backend, frontend, AI)
- Own release, versioning, staged rollouts and rollback
- Reduce incidents as the fleet grows
- Guide technical direction, including a Kubernetes migration
What they're looking for
- You've led a real move to faster, safer releases and can show the numbers
- Experience with versions you don't control (OTA updates, mobile, on-prem, connected devices) is a big plus
- Still technical, with AWS and Kubernetes ideally
- 10–15 years' experience, often from DevOps or platform. Heads of Engineering ready to step up are welcome
- Robotics or IoT is a bonus, not a must
