Company Description

Early-stage robotics infrastructure startup

Job Description

You will lead the development of high-performance data pipelines, transforming raw sensor streams into training-ready datasets. By architecting scalable infrastructure for multimodal robotics data—including video and force sensing—you'll enable advanced machine learning models to master complex interactions. This role is central to building the data engine for next-generation intelligent machines.

Location

San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable

• Founding-level ownership of the core data infrastructure used to train advanced robotic models.
• Work at a high-growth, early-stage startup tackling one of the hardest bottlenecks in modern robotics.
• Direct impact on model performance by defining how large-scale, multimodal data is captured and processed.

What You Will Do

• Build and maintain robust ETL pipelines for synchronizing video, sensor, and robot state data.
• Architect high-throughput AWS/S3 storage solutions for petabyte-scale multimodal datasets.
• Develop internal tools for dataset visualization, automated quality assurance, and human-in-the-loop annotation.

The ideal candidate

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with deep proficiency in Python and Linux environments.
• Extensive experience managing large-scale multimodal datasets and cloud infrastructure via AWS.
• A bias toward automation and execution, capable of turning messy real-world data into structured assets.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
