Your Mission & Challenges
- protoc + buf toolchain for client-side code generation; CI pipelines regenerate clients on every proto change
- Python client SDK: idiomatic wrappers with context managers, async/await variants, IDE completion stubs, pip wheels published to internal PyPI
- C++ client SDK: RAII channel lifecycle, async, language-idiomatic exception hierarchy, Conan/vcpkg packages
- Java client SDK: builder patterns for requests, CompletableFuture, Maven Central artifacts
- Channel lifecycle handling across languages: timeouts, deadline propagation, reconnection logic, TLS/mTLS configuration
- gRPC status to language-idiomatic exception mapping: hierarchical exception types with semantically meaningful subclasses
- Client/server version-skew compatibility tables-published policies on client-server version support, automated compatibility tests
- Semantic versioning aligned with the platform architect, deprecation policy enforcement with linter warnings, migration guides
- Simulation-mode toggle inside the client: same proto interface, simulation backend for offline app development
- Observability hooks per language: structured logging, OpenTelemetry tracing context propagation, Prometheus client metrics
- Reference example applications per language demonstrating canonical patterns: pick-and-place, mode switching, fault recovery, telemetry streaming
- Auto-generated documentation per language: Sphinx (Python), Doxygen (C++), Javadoc (Java); examples kept in sync with API surface
- Internal customer onboarding: skill bundles, evaluation harnesses, R&D notebooks, demo apps-all start from your reference template
- RFC co-review with the Robot Platform Integration Engineer on every proto change
- Developer experience with platform SDKs-has shipped client libraries used by external or internal customers.
- Proficient in at least two: modern Python (typing, asyncio, pyproject.toml/wheels), modern C++ (17/20, async patterns, build systems), Java (CompletableFuture, Maven build).
- Hands-on with gRPC ecosystem: protoc, buf, grpc-python, grpc-java, grpc-cpp-has implemented production clients.
- Multi-language packaging: manylinux pip wheels, Conan or vcpkg recipes, Maven Central publishing-experienced with full CI pipelines.
- API design fluency: gRPC/REST/GraphQL, semantic versioning, deprecation policy authorship, backwards-compatibility analysis.
- Documentation tooling: Sphinx, Doxygen, MkDocs; capable of owning end-to-end documentation deliverables.
- Cross-language async patterns: understands trade-offs among sync, async, and streaming gRPC across languages and their ergonomic differences
- Familiarity with robotics or industrial control to discuss latency and timing semantics with robot platform engineers
- Experience writing language bindings for a native library (PyBind11, JNI, SWIG, cppyy)
- Authored OpenTelemetry instrumentation libraries across multiple languages
- Working knowledge of ROS 2 client library design (rclpy / rclcpp)
- Written a developer-portal API reference or SDK tutorial series for external developers
