Software Engineer, Infrastructure
TLDR
Build the scalable data-collection platform and internal tools powering foundation models and multi-tenant data lake for robotics research.
At XDOF, we're at an inflection point. Frontier labs are racing to build general-purpose robots, and high-quality training data is the bottleneck. We're building the foundation behind the foundation models – the data collection systems, operational capability, exabyte-scale data warehouse, and software toolchain – to help our partners drive the field forward.
Infrastructure engineers build the platform that support our ever-increasing scale of data collection.
Sample projects include:
building an orchestration system to run computations upon data ingestion
designing an internal dev platform for researchers to test their ideas over the dataset
managing a multi-tenant data lake
Baseline skills:
a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or related field
fluency with Python
You might be a good fit if you:
have had previous experience with large-scale data processing and distributed systems
have prior experience with AI or robotics
are very comfortable working in 0->1 environments
are mission-driven and passionate about robotics: work at XDOF is fast-paced and constant. We hope you love what you're going to be doing, because you'll be doing a lot of it!
