Our robots connect back to us over cellular, Wi-Fi, and mesh VPN often as guests on customer networks we don’t control.\nThis is not an enterprise networking role. The work is closer to software and customer support than to running switches or a campus network. You will work with every level of the business from customers to the people deploying robots on the ground.\nOffices are based in Wallingford near Oxford, and this role is hybrid (1-3 days a week on site), so we’re looking for candidates within commuting distance.\nWe’re open to candidates from a range of backgrounds. You’ll likely have spent time supporting or operating networked systems, perhaps at a telco or mobile operator, an ISP or managed service provider, in IT support or IoT, or at another robotics company. What matters is solid fundamentals, a passion to solve problems and some coding ability. A home lab, self-hosted services, amateur radio, CTFs, or write-ups of problems you’ve solved all count in your favour.\nThis role will require a high level of flexibility around needs of customers. \nPlease apply for more information.\nResponsibilities / Skills\nOwn connectivity cases for customer sites from first report to fix, working directly with customer IT on firewall rules, port access, and Wi-Fi coverage.\nWorking with customers on solving connectivity issues, following up and maintaining active communications\nDiagnose faults across cellular, Wi-Fi, VPN, and DNS, and determine whether the problem is the network or the application.\nCommission and configure routers for new sites; validate site networks before robots arrive.\nBuild and maintain tooling, mostly in Go and shell, that replaces manual steps in router setup and fleet checks.\nAdd monitoring and alerts for the issues you find, so they’re caught before customers notice.\nWrite runbooks and help shape incident and escalation processes.\nVisit warehouse sites to test coverage and bring robots online (UK, occasionally abroad)\nHands-on experience with networks, Linux systems, or deployed devices, whether in a job or on your own.\nComfortable on a Linux command line, with solid IP networking (subnets, routing, NAT, DNS, DHCP, firewalls); able to use tcpdump or Wireshark to see where traffic stops.\nHas written scripts or tools that other people used, in any language; happy to work in Go.\nExperience handling technical problems with customers or end users through support, field, or deployment work.\nMethodical in fault-finding; you keep track of what you’ve tried.\nComfortable when things are unclear; you’d rather help shape a process than wait for one.\nFlexible: robots run across several time zones, so the occasional incident lands in the evening.\nUseful but not required: WireGuard/Tailscale/Nebula/NetBird, cellular modems and SIMs, Wi-Fi beyond the basics, Prometheus/Grafana.\n\nYou will work alongside the engineer who designed and runs the current stack. After onboarding, you’ll be the first point of contact on connectivity cases. Over time you will go deeper into:\nCellular in practice: LTE/5G modems, SIMs and eSIMs, signal metrics, and working with carriers in different countries.\nMesh VPN design with WireGuard and Tailscale, including access control as code.\nWi-Fi in hard RF environments, and newer options like Wi-Fi HaLow and running our own site networks.\nWriting Go tooling that runs against a live fleet, with code review and testing.\nAs experience builds, you’ll take ownership of parts of the stack, such as router commissioning tooling or fleet monitoring.\nWhen applying, include a short note about something technical you built, broke, or fixed and what you learnt.\nBenefits\nStarting from the interview process and continuing into your career with us, you will be working by our four Operating Principles:\nPerformance: High standards, outstanding results\nImpact: Big challenges, bigger results\nCommitment: All in, every time\nOne team: One mission, shared success\nJoining our team and company isn't just about expertise; it's about embracing uncertainty with ambition. We're crafting world-changing solutions, fuelled by a passion to redefine what's possible. We will look for you to help create and shape the future of logistics solutions through our products, our culture and our shared vision.\nYou will also receive:\nPrivate healthcare via Bupa with 24/7 medical helpline\nLife insurance\nIncome protection\nPension: 4+% employee with option to opt into salary exchange, 5% employer\nEmployee Assistance Programme - mental wellbeing, financial and legal advice/support\n25 days holiday per year + bank holidays\nFull meals onsite in Wallingford\nFun team events on and offsite, snacks of all kinds in the office\nAAP/EEO Statement Dexory provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment.
