About the role

Posted Dec 10, 2025

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!
