Software Engineer, Infrastructure

Department: Software Engineering

Location: San Mateo Hybrid

Employment Type: FullTime

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!
