Jobs at Blue River Technology

Develop, test, optimize, document, and troubleshoot distributed robotics software for agricultural and construction equipment. The role uses C++ in Linux environments and involves deployment support, system debugging, API and architecture documentation, work estimation, and collaboration with embedded software, QA, mechatronics, computer vision, and machine learning teams. Preferred experience includes sensor integration, vision systems, GPU computing on edge devices, Python robotics development, and autonomous vehicles.

Leads complex robotics, computer vision, machine learning, and software deployment programs across engineering, product, and field operations. Owns schedules, milestones, release processes, technical risk management, data-collection cycles, OTA infrastructure, and cross-functional alignment. Establishes metrics, dashboards, tools, and feedback loops to improve model development and field deployment reliability. Requires strong systems thinking, technical communication, and the ability to manage dependencies without direct authority.

Leads the design and implementation of scalable full-stack software and algorithms for intelligent agricultural robots. Improves system architecture, performance, latency, reliability, and chemical application accuracy. Develops real-time C++ software for Linux, robotics communication systems, vehicle software, and testing solutions. Mentors engineers, leads cross-functional collaboration, and supports field testing, data collection, research, and customer deployments.

Manage and scale Blue River Technology’s IT infrastructure across network systems, Linux and Windows servers, cloud and on-premises identity platforms, endpoint devices, and SaaS applications. Administer Active Directory, Entra ID, FreeIPA, Okta, Jamf, Intune, and Zscaler products; resolve escalated support issues; write and troubleshoot automation scripts; maintain technical documentation; and contribute to infrastructure, security, reliability, and automation projects.

As a Sr Technical Recruiter, you will manage the full recruiting lifecycle for specialized technical roles, collaborate with hiring managers, and enhance candidate experience, while tracking metrics for continuous improvement.

As an RL Engineer, design and implement reinforcement learning algorithms, enhance policy robustness, and collaborate to build scalable E2E training systems for autonomy products.

Architects and owns highly available infrastructure and Kubernetes-based platforms supporting autonomous systems. Builds Golang backend services, platform tooling, observability systems, dashboards, alerts, and log aggregation. Partners with product teams to launch services, performs performance analysis, manages cloud upgrades, and participates in incident response and postmortems. Collaborates on cloud security risk assessments, intrusion detection, threat-feed systems, risk mitigation, and SaaS payment processes. Provides architectural leadership and mentorship across engineering teams.

Build and operate scalable ML infrastructure and platform capabilities across cloud and on-premises environments. Develop Python-based developer tooling, services, and production systems supporting experimentation, distributed training, model deployment, and operations. Lead complex initiatives from architecture through rollout, improve reliability and developer productivity, and partner with ML and infrastructure teams. The role emphasizes Kubernetes, AWS, distributed compute, GPU-intensive workloads, observability, and production excellence.

Leads the See & Scout engineering organization across software, data, machine learning, and robotics. Owns technical strategy, architecture, and multi-year roadmaps for scalable cloud, distributed data, edge, and machine learning platforms. Oversees the full data and ML lifecycle, production delivery, operational excellence, and customer-focused agricultural intelligence capabilities. Recruits and develops engineering leaders, partners cross-functionally, and aligns stakeholders across Blue River and John Deere.

Own the technical architecture, strategy, and roadmap for an autonomous construction robotics stack spanning localization, planning, controls, and safeguarding. Make build-versus-reuse-versus-buy decisions, design safety systems, guide integration and field validation, establish shared technical foundations across autonomy programs, and mentor engineers. The role requires architecting and shipping production autonomous systems, strong compiled-language software skills, broad systems judgment, and 10+ years of relevant experience.
