Engineering Manager, Platform & Infrastructure

We believe general-purpose, generally-intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes. Robots will work in our factories, move our goods, walk on our streets and eventually be in our homes. To build that future, research and deployment must work in lockstep: real-world operation must make the technology better and better technology must make deployment easier. We're looking for the thinkers, builders, and researchers who want to be part of that loop.

As an AI robotics company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, on state-of-the-art hardware, every line of code written at Tutor has a direct impact on the global, physical economy.

We believe that something truly special can happen when talented, motivated people work together; at Tutor, every member of our team is empowered to have real impact in everything that they do. We're characterized by both technical excellence and next-level collaboration and respect.

At Tutor, AI agents do most of the engineering work. They write the code, run the tests, triage CI, deploy to robots, and operate the tools the company runs on. That only works if the infrastructure underneath them is built for it: environments they can stand up, systems they can observe, tooling they can call, context they can read. We are looking for the person who will lead the team that builds and supports that infrastructure.

The people who use this infrastructure are the engineers sitting next to you, and they do not file tickets and wait. When something in the commons breaks or gets in their way, they are on it immediately, often with an agent, and they expect you and your team to be there with them. That is the culture you would be joining and leading: users who operate what they use, and a central team that makes that possible rather than standing between them and the systems.

You are responsible for the commons serving the whole. Shared infrastructure at Tutor is used by every team, and every team pulls it in its own direction. Your job is to keep it working for all of them: to decide what the center owns and what stays with the teams, to make the call when two teams need different things, and to be the accountable person when the shared layer fails.

This is a senior role with organization-wide scope, and you set the direction for the function. We expect you to be hands-on. How much you build yourself and how much you lead others will depend on who you are, and the team grows as the work requires it, with you hiring it.
