Amodo Design

Develop software solutions for hardware-focused engineering projects, including automation, robotics, embedded systems, AI infrastructure, simulation, and data analysis.About AmodoAmodo is a hardware engineering company building the 21st century’s most important technologies. Our team of mechanical, electronic, firmware, and software engineers are trusted by world-leading startups, universities, governments and philanthropists to solve pressing technical challenges.We are selective in the projects we take on and proactive in seeking out where our exceptional engineering teams can make the most impact. We believe in differential technology development: deliberately accelerating safety-enhancing technologies to ensure human flourishing. Not every technology is inevitable – rather, the market fails to incentivise key domains. We work in these areas.We’ve doubled year on year since our founding in 2023, and we aim to do so again in 2026. That means we’re actively hiring across electronics, FPGA, mechanical, firmware, software, physics, HPC infrastructure, and DevOps — plus exceptional talent in any discipline.About youWe value drive, culture fit, and a track-record of engineering excellence and above all else, but the below competencies, interests, and attributes are extremely desirable:Experience with frontend or backend developmentExperience writing and deploying code in one or more: CPP, JS, TypeScript, PythonExcellent grasp of programming best practiceAlongside the above, the below competencies will strengthen an application:Experience writing firmware and working on hardware projectsInterest in beautiful UX and graphic design.Familiarity with electronics and microcontrollersThis role will suit software engineers who enjoy solving important real-world problems and working close to hardware; who learn new domains quickly and prefer practical solutions over over-engineered systems or unnecessary complexity. Projects range widely, and include:Scientific toolsAutomation & robotics (Linux & ROS level)Embedded C/C++ (typically owned by dedicated firmware engineers, but software engineers are welcome to learn!)Linux, CUDA, Server engineering for our AI safety, - security, and verification workCustom simulation software (usually python)Data analysis pipelines (python)Organisational tooling (Typescript, react, postgres, etc.)What is it like to work at Amodo?Our values: Truth-seeking, excellent, enthusiastic, kind, humble, and always learningOur approach: We think before diving in, iterate fast, and focus on the highest-impact 80/20 work. We favour rapid experimentation, quick feedback loops, and sprinting to “something that works” rather than over-planning.Feedback culture: We practice radical candor, which means being clear and direct while staying kind, and welcoming feedback at every levelNo “not my job”-ism: If we see something wrong, we fix it. If your part of a project is going great and another is struggling, don’t settle for polishing a chunk of a struggling shipSocials: Table tennis every lunch, personal project evenings, pub trips, trail running club, and moreOffice: Spacious, modern space in central Sheffield, with parking and bike storage. In-house workshop and equipment for our mechanical and electrical work.Project structure: You will generally be on 1 main project at a time, whilst supporting on 1-2 smaller projects. Team sizes vary from 2-10+ engineers, where most are ~4. Durations largely are within the 2 - 8 months range.Project variety: We get to work on loads of super varied, technically complex and interesting projects, from drone mounted laser holography for climate-tech to next-gen motors – just see our Projects page.
