Description

Software Engineer, Developer Infrastructure

Team: Infra & Platform Engineering

Location: Irvine, CA

Commitment: Full time

Workplace Type: hybrid

FieldAI’s Irvine team is where embodied AI meets real robots, real sensors, and real field deployments. Based in the heart of Southern California’s robotics ecosystem, we build risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that solve the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the full potential of embodied intelligence. If you want your work to ship, get tested on hardware, and improve through real deployments, Irvine is the place. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-only architectures, combining rigorous engineering with learning systems proven in globally deployed solutions that deliver results today and get better every time our robots run in the field.

We’re seeking a skilled and motivated Software Engineer, Developer Infrastructure to design, build, and maintain the internal systems that power our engineering organization.

In this role, you will own development environments, tooling infrastructure, and build systems that enable teams across robotics, web, AI/ML, and data to ship reliably and efficiently. You’ll work closely with developers, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to improve code quality, developer velocity, and system consistency across our monorepo.

This is a high-leverage role with broad impact across the company’s engineering output.

What You'll Do:

  • Build and maintain containerized development environments

  • Develop and enforce automated code quality and style checks

  • Design and maintain internal CLI tools and developer workflows

  • Own and improve monorepo build systems, file structure, and documentation

  • Partner with robotics, web, data, and ML teams to support their development needs

  • Improve developer velocity, reliability, and consistency across the codebase

What You Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)

  • 3–7 years of software engineering experience

  • Strong programming or scripting skills (Python or similar)

  • Hands-on experience with Docker or other containerization technologies

  • Solid understanding of Linux systems and development environments

  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate across teams

What Sets You Apart:

  • Experience with build systems such as Bazel or Nx

  • Experience supporting robotics software stacks (e.g., ROS, real-time systems, sensor integration)

  • Hands-on experience designing or maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions)

Our salary range is generous and we consider each individual’s background and experience when determining final compensation. Base pay may vary based on role scope, job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and the Irvine, California market.

Why Join FieldAI in Irvine?
In Irvine, you will work where the robots are. Our local team builds and tests systems on real hardware with real sensors, then ships them to operate in unstructured, previously unknown environments around the world. We are solving one of robotics’ hardest challenges: reliable deployment outside the lab. Our Field Foundational Models™ raise the bar for perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, with an emphasis on explainability and safety for real-world use.
You will collaborate with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. We bring deep experience from organizations such as DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX, along with a track record of field deployments and strong performance in DARPA challenge segments.

Be Part of the Next Robotics Revolution
We are looking for builders who want their work to leave the whiteboard and show up on robots. If you enjoy tackling tough, uncharted questions and working across disciplines, you will find your people here. Our teams span AI, software, robotics engineering, product, field deployment, and technical communication, all focused on shipping systems that perform in the real world.

Our headquarters is in Irvine, and we partner closely with teams there as well as colleagues across the US and around the world. Join us in Southern California and help define what dependable, field-ready autonomy looks like.

We value diverse perspectives and are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace. We evaluate candidates and employees based on merit, qualifications, and performance, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, or any other legally protected statu
