Company Introduction

At Bot Auto, we are revolutionizing the transportation of goods with our cutting-edge autonomous trucks, enhancing the quality of life for communities around the globe. With the agility of a start-up and the wisdom of seasoned experts, Bot Auto boasts a team that has achieved numerous world-firsts and unparalleled innovations. United by a shared vision, we create miracles and propel the future of transportation. Join us and transform your dreams into reality.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Frontend Engineer, Autonomous Traffic Control to build the systems and interfaces that connect our autonomous fleet to the people and intelligence that support it. This is a full-stack role with deep frontend domain expertise. Your flagship project is Autonomous Traffic Control (ATC) — the platform through which our autonomy vehicles request and receive Traffic Advice, environmental intelligence, and human assistance. You will also contribute to operations and data platforms across internal developer and operation platforms, shipping polished, reliable, real-time tools used by ATC controllers, fleet operators, and vehicle drivers.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and build full-stack features for Autonomous Traffic Control (ATC), enabling controllers to review vehicle state reports and issue Traffic Advice (reroute, wait, retry, dispatch, escalate) in real time.
  • Develop responsive, data-rich web interfaces using modern frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind), with strong attention to UX, real-time data, and operational reliability.
  • Build the backend services, APIs, and event-driven/streaming integrations that power ATC and connect it to the autonomous fleet and external live feeds (weather, DOT/traffic, operator inputs).
  • Contribute to operations and visualization tools across internal developer & operation platforms and the driver-facing on-vehicle application.
  • Visualize fleet state, geospatial data (maps, polygons, routes), and telemetry to give operators clear, actionable situational awareness.
  • Partner with product, autonomy, and operations teams to translate operational workflows (SOPs) into intuitive, dependable software.
  • Own features end to end — from design and implementation through testing, deployment, and operation in production.
  • Uphold engineering best practices with clean, maintainable, well-tested code and thoughtful API and component design.
QualificationsRequired
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
  • 0-3 years of full-stack software engineering experience, with demonstrated frontend domain expertise (new graduates with strong fundamentals are welcome)
  • Proficiency with modern frontend frameworks and tooling (React, TypeScript, and a build system such as Vite; CSS frameworks such as Tailwind)
  • Strong eye for UX, performance, and building reliable real-time interfaces
  • Familiarity with backend skills in one or more of Python, Go, Java, or Node.js, including building and consuming REST and streaming APIs
Preferred
  • Experience building real-time, operations-critical, or mission-control style applications (live dashboards, monitoring, command-and-control)
  • Experience with geospatial/mapping visualization (e.g., Mapbox, deck.gl, Leaflet) and large-scale data visualization
  • Familiarity with event-driven architectures and streaming (WebSockets, MQTT, NATS, Kafka)
  • Experience with containerized deployment (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS)
  • Interest in autonomous systems, robotics, or transportation
  • Experience collaborating closely with operations teams and turning workflows into product
