Company Description

Adamo is a venture-backed London startup building the critical teleoperation infrastructure and data layer for the world's leading robotics companies. By enabling real-time remote control of humanoids and autonomous vehicles, Adamo captures the high-quality training data necessary to accelerate the development of global robotic autonomy.

Job Description

You will build foundational low-latency infrastructure at the intersection of video streaming and robotics. Working directly with the founders, you will own critical systems like custom video protocols and distributed mesh networks. Your work ensures sub-40ms latency, enabling operators to remotely control robots anywhere in the world while generating structured datasets for AI training.

Location

London, UK

Why this role is remarkable

• Join a venture-backed, execution-focused team of three as an early hire, directly influencing the technical architecture of a platform serving the fastest-growing robotics companies.
• Solve deep systems challenges by building custom protocols and renderers from scratch, moving beyond standard solutions like WebRTC to achieve sub-40ms glass-to-glass latency.
• Work at the cutting edge of robotics and data, building the infrastructure that allows humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles to handle complex real-world edge cases.

What You Will Do

• Develop and optimize a custom low-latency video streaming protocol and Kafka-like streaming library using Rust to ensure reliable data transmission across global networks.
• Implement multi-path bonding and distributed mesh networking across LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi to maintain high-fidelity connections between robots and remote operators.
• Integrate the teleoperation stack with diverse robotic fleets, including humanoids and autonomous vehicles, using middleware like ROS2, Zenoh, or DDS.

The ideal candidate

• Possesses deep experience in low-latency video streaming, real-time networking infrastructure, or building custom communication protocols for high-performance systems.
• Demonstrates proficiency in Rust or a strong background in C/C++ with a commitment to mastering Rust for systems-level development and performance optimization.
• Has a background in robotics middleware (ROS2, Zenoh), IoT fleet management, or cloud gaming infrastructure where every millisecond of latency is critical.

Who are Jack & Jill?

Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

• Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
• Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.
• If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
