Today, large language models and AI Agents are automating an increasing share of all digital work, yet work that happens in the physical world remains mostly unaffected. Frontier AI and Robotics labs are investing 100s of billions into general-purpose robotics to change that. Yet today’s robotics research looks nothing like frontier AI research - reliance on hardware makes feedback loops on data collection and evaluation slow.
**Armnet enables Physical AI researchers to iterate at the speed of software by building the world’s first open arm farm in the cloud**. Researchers write the code and deploy it as a Docker container, we make sure the robots are up 24/7 with minimal downtime or latency. We’re a pre-seed stage London-based startup backed by Europe’s top angels and the VC funds behind Deliveroo, Monzo, and Hugging Face, already partnering with world-leading academic and commercial Physical AI researchers.
Founded by two technical founders with backgrounds in leading technical teams in high-growth startups and in cutting-edge AI research, we’re now building a talent-dense full-stack team to solve the biggest challenges in robot learning infrastructure - how to make working with robots as easy as GPUs or other computer hardware?
Why join us: As a member of the founding team you'll work directly with the founders, contribute across the stack, shape the product roadmap based on customer needs, and have genuine influence over the company's direction. You’ll get to meet exciting people, from the world’s leading researchers and builders in Physical AI to business leaders and startup investors. If you're energised by building from zero, thrive in ambiguity, and want to see your work deployed in the real world within months rather than years, this is the role for you.
We're particularly interested in candidates with entrepreneurial ambitions, whether that's growing into a leader within Armnet or eventually starting your own venture. Either way, you'll build the skills, network, and experience that opens doors.

Work & Culture
Big thanks to Armnet co-founders Ville Kuosmanen and Praveen Selvaraj for the opportunity and support this summer. This was my project as a one-month intern, so I can't get into the roadmap or the customers/projects behind it, but from what I got to see, I'm super excited for where Armnet is headed.
We consider candidates of all seniorities.
Note: If you feel like your experience and skills would fit into multiple roles, please let us know in your application. We're happy to evaluate candidates holistically rather than for a specific role only - in the end, everyone will be working on the same small team, and we value versatility and breadth of skills. We also encourage applications from people who might not tick every box but are excited about the mission and bring unique perspectives, and value diversity of thought and background.
