AIDO is an early-stage medical robotics venture on a mission to transform the fight against cancer through innovation in robotic
endoscopy. Originating from the world-renowned IHU Strasbourg, the company is developing a novel robotic “third hand” add-on for
flexible endoscopes. This compact and intuitive electromechanical assistant enhances the performance of therapeutic endoscopic
procedures.
AIDO’s proprietary technology improves ergonomics, stability, and instrument control, reducing the physical strain and
coordination burden typically placed on endoscopists. By making complex therapeutic procedures easier, more reproducible, and more
comfortable to perform, AIDO enables physicians to treat cancers and pre-cancerous lesions endoscopically rather than surgically,
supporting earlier and non-invasive intervention for patients.
Validated by more than 60 clinicians, AIDO is now entering a pivotal phase, industrializing its prototype into a clinical-grade
medical device, advancing regulatory pathways, and shaping future AI-enabled capabilities.
AIDO is seeking a hands-on CTO / Head of Engineering who can lead product development end-to-end, establish the engineering
foundation of the company, and drive the technical roadmap as it enters a new phase of growth.
This role combines strategic influence with deep technical execution. The successful candidate will work closely with suppliers,
clinicians, and the CEO to bring a safe, intuitive, and robust device to market.

About Six Robotics At Six Robotics, we build intelligent software that gives Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) the ability to collaborate, adapt on the fly, and execute missions that were previously impossible. From our base in Oslo, our 50+ experts in defence, software, and AI develop Valkyrie, our flagship autonomy and swarm platform used by both government and industry. In close partnership with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), we move fast from concept to live deployment, often in the field alongside end users. We work with advanced hardware and software, a modern tech stack, and missions that demand both technical mastery and operational discipline. Everyone is close to the action, from deep technical problem-solving to field operations. We move fast and value clarity, integrity, and teamwork in everything we do. At Six Robotics, every person executes with precision, adapts to changing conditions, and strengthens the team. Getting in is hard, and you’ll be challenged every day. But if you have the skill, the discipline, and the drive to push your limits and always be sharpening your blade, you’ll find no better place to deliver real-world impact while collaborating and learning from the best in the field. About The Role We are hiring both Software Engineers and Senior Software Engineers who will work primarily in Rust to strengthen and scale the backend of our Ground Control Station (GCS) – the system used by drone operators to plan, monitor, and control missions. This role is appealing if you are excited about Rust as a modern systems language and want to help shape how it is used in a real-world, production-critical environment. We want to increase competence, raise the engineering bar, and build a robust Rust ecosystem internally. However, the primary goal is not to “write Rust for Rust’s sake.” The goal is to build reliable backend systems, APIs, and integrations that operators depend on. Rust is the tool. Solid engineering is the mission. You will join Grounded, the team that builds and maintains the backend powering our Ground Control Station. This includes developing the APIs used for interfacing with edge devices (drones), frontends (UI), integrating with third-party systems (BMS) and telemetry platforms. Being part of the Grounded team you are building the hub that connects multiple parts of the product into one coherent system. After six months in the role, success means you have shipped one or more substantial features to production and taken ownership of parts of the backend. You have improved system quality and influenced architectural decisions, while also helping raise the bar for how we use Rust internally, contributing to stronger practices, patterns, and technical direction. What You Will Do • Develop and extend backend features for the Ground Control Station (GCS) • Design and implement APIs for edge, frontend, and external integrations • Interface with third-party systems and services • Improve Rust tooling, conventions, and best practices within the team • Contribute to a gradual and pragmatic transition from C++ to Rust where appropriate • Contribute to backend authentication and security What we are looking for We are looking for Software Engineers with a strong engineering mindset who care deeply about system quality, structure, and long-term maintainability. You take pride not only in writing clean and robust code, but in improving the product as a whole. You think about how your technical decisions translate into value for real end users, and you are motivated by building systems that operate reliably in critical, real-world contexts where performance, correctness, and usability truly matter. You may already have solid Rust experience, or you may come from C++/Go or another systems/backend background with a strong interest in Rust. What matters most is that you understand quality backend systems at scale, think holistically, and write code that by default is maintainable and robust. You are motivated by quality and ownership. You want to improve systems, not just complete tasks. You care about architecture, robustness, and correctness, and you are comfortable contributing to technical direction as well as implementation. We believe the right candidate brings • 2+ years (5+ years for senior level) of professional software engineering experience, with a strong engineering and quality mindset focused on building robust, production-grade systems rather than prototypes. • Professional experience with Rust, or strong experience in an adjacent systems/backend language (such as C++ or Go) combined with recent hands-on Rust development • Solid backend or systems development experience • Strong Linux fundamentals • Highly efficient and structured technical communication skills, expressing decisions and trade-offs in a clear manner • Fluent in English (Norwegian not required) Nice-to-haves: • Experience from adjacent systems and backend technologies such as C++ or Go • Experience building server/cloud-based systems • Experience designing and maintaining APIs • Experience with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) • Exposure to advanced network configuration, video pipelines, or infrastructure environments involving Kubernetes and cloud deployment. • Having built asynchronous services or gRPC-based systems using Protobuf in a microservices architecture. Experience working with distributed systems and service-to-service communication would be valuable for this role Why You Should Join At Six Robotics, we're not just building software - we're redefining how unmanned systems operate in the real world. If you're driven by meaningful problems, technical depth, and the chance to shape something from the ground up, you'll find your place here. • Work on problems that matter Our technology helps unlock smarter, safer, and more adaptable UAV operations in defense and industry, solving real challenges with direct, tangible impact. • Lead the shift in a hardware-dominated space We're bringing modern AI, autonomy, and scalable software into a field that's long relied on rigid, pre-programmed systems, to change how UAVs are designed, deployed, and managed. • Build from zero, shape the future Join early and help define the core systems, tools, and culture of a company that’s still being built - where your ideas, code, and decisions will have a lasting influence. • Work with purpose, supported by great benefits You'll be part of a mission-driven team that values clarity, integrity, and collaboration, offering competitive pay, equity potential, strong insurance and pension plans, and ongoing learning opportunities. Our Recruitment Process • Screening interview with one of our recruiters to get to know you better (30 min). • Meet & Greet with someone from the team to learn more about us (60 min). • Programming assignment to be solved in your own time, followed by a technical interview (90 min). • Final interview with our CTO and Head of People (45 min) Reference check followed by an offer if everything goes well. We consider applications continuously, so don’t hold off with applying if this looks interesting. Our Commitment to Inclusion At Six Robotics, we are committed to creating a workplace built on respect, integrity, and collaboration. We value different perspectives and experiences, and we believe that diversity within our team strengthens both our work and our culture. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply and help us build technology that makes a real impact.
