Senior Software Engineer (AI Team)

About this role

• We’re looking for a seasoned, broad software engineer to join our AI team and build the systems our models depend on. Our AI researchers push the modeling frontier; this role owns nearly everything around it — the data that goes in, the infrastructure that trains and evaluates, the perception plumbing that connects cameras to the robot, and the product surfaces that put all of it in a customer’s hands
• The AI team is small, so the surface area is wide and the ownership is real. You may move between adding functionality to the data ingestion pipeline, a camera calibration bug, and a customer-facing feature in the same month — and you’ll decide which of those matters most this week
• Projects across the AI team’s stack
• Ship the product surfaces that expose AI capabilities to users — the applications and APIs customers actually touch
• Mentor and advise other engineers as well as peers on technical and personal advancement
• Drive technical decision making and implementation through hands-on and technically deep work
• Plus ownership of one or more of these, depending on where your experience is strongest:
• Data pipelines: the flywheel for end-to-end AI — ingestion of teleop and demonstration data, labeling and curation tooling, dataset quality metrics
• Training and evaluation infrastructure: training pipelines, experiment tracking, GPU orchestration, model versioning, and deployment out to robots
• Perception integration: camera calibration, vision pipelines, and getting model outputs into the robot runtime reliably

### Benefits

• Paid time off
• Medical/dental/vision insurance
• Life insurance & disability insurance
• 401(k)
• Employee stock options- We do not require a background in robotics
• Our ideal candidate will be open to doing approximately 70% back-end and 30% front-end work with flexibility to sway more towards one or the other, depending on current projects and team needs
• We have no requirements for a background in robotics, but find most succe...
