Overview
Job Title: Software Engineer
Salary: Up to £130k + Equity
Company: Adamo - Venture-backed robotics infrastructure startup
Location: London, UK
Job Description
Join a small, elite team building the data layer for robotics. You will develop low-latency video streaming and networking infrastructure that allows humans to remotely control humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles globally. By enabling sub-40ms latency, you provide the critical teleoperation backbone that generates high-quality training data for the future of autonomy.
Why this role is remarkable
Work at the cutting edge of robotics and video engineering, building custom protocols from scratch rather than relying on off-the-shelf solutions like WebRTC
Join as an early employee at a fast-growing, venture-backed startup, working directly with the founders to set the technical direction for the entire platform
Solve high-stakes engineering challenges where every millisecond of latency reduction directly improves the safety and capability of real-world robotic systems
What you will do
Build and optimize a custom low-latency video streaming protocol and distributed mesh network to support real-time teleoperation
Implement multi-path bonding across LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi to ensure reliable data transmission for robotic fleets in the field
Develop a Kafka-like streaming library and custom renderers to capture and process high-fidelity training data for autonomous systems
The ideal candidate
Strong proficiency in Rust or a background in C/C++ with a deep desire to master low-level systems programming in Rust
Proven experience in low-latency video streaming, custom networking protocols, or real-time infrastructure like cloud gaming or ROS2
An independent builder who enjoys optimizing systems to the limit and shipping high-performance code that interacts with physical hardware
