About this Role
We are looking for a Head of Software Architecture with 8+ years of experience to own the end-to-end architecture of Dexmate's agentic SaaS platform that manages and operates general-purpose robots at fleet scale. You should be a staff or principal-level engineer who has deep experience in system design, distributed architectures, and connected-device/IoT platforms, think Tesla, Google Home, or similar hardware-software ecosystems. This is a hands-on leadership role reporting directly to the CTO, where you'll build the foundational architecture while growing a team from ~10 to 15+ engineers. You must embrace AI and bring a modern mindset to integrating agentic capabilities into the platform.
What will you be doing?
Design and own the full platform architecture, robot connectivity, fleet management, AI/agentic features, data pipelines, and model training workflows, as one coherent system
Set the technical direction across frontend, backend, robot-side, and infrastructure, making key architectural decisions as the team scales
Stay hands-on writing and reviewing code, especially in early architecture phases where foundational abstractions are critical
Architect how AI agent capabilities (chatbots, agentic behaviors, learning from fleet data) integrate safely into the platform with proper guardrails for physical robots
Grow and lead the software platform team from ~10 people today to 15+ engineers, establishing engineering standards and architecture review processes
