Senior Software Development Engineer, Robot Platform Security, Fauna

Fauna Robotics is building capable, safe, and delightful robots for everyday life. We are hiring a Senior Software Development Engineer to lead security engineering for our robot platform. You will drive the security of the robot from its boot chain to how it handles data.

The ideal candidate has shipped security features on connected devices. They make sound tradeoffs between protection, customer experience, and delivery speed when requirements are still evolving. They raise the bar across teams by building secure defaults and spreading knowledge of best practices. They want to build a new kind of device and are excited about the challenges and opportunities in bringing it into our lives.

Key job responsibilities

• Own security engineering for Fauna's robot platform: boot chain, operating system, on-device software, and updates
• Build security into the robot's OS and software: secure boot, OS hardening, service isolation and access control, and on-device secrets
• Design how the robot handles what it senses, including on-device processing and data minimization
• Build secure defaults into the robot's shared libraries and its build and release pipeline
• Lead secure design and review of Fauna's cloud services in partnership with Amazon's security and privacy teams
• Lead incident response for the robot platform and drive fixes to root cause

About the team
Fauna Robotics, an Amazon company, is building capable, safe, and genuinely delightful robots for everyday life. Our goal is simple: make robots people actually want to live and interact with in everyday human spaces.

We believe that future won't arrive until building for robotics becomes far more accessible. Today, too much effort is spent reinventing the fundamentals. We're changing that by developing tightly integrated hardware and software systems that make it faster, safer, and more intuitive to create real-world robotic products.

Our work spans the full stack: mechanical design, control systems, dynamic modeling, and intelligent software. The focus is not just functionality, but experience. We're building robots that feel responsive, expressive, and genuinely useful.

At Fauna, you'll work at the frontier of this space, helping define how robots move, manipulate, and interact with people in natural environments. It's an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build.

If you care about making robotics real for everyone and building systems that are as delightful as they are capable, we're interested in hearing from you.
