About the role
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 model evaluation platform – to help our partners drive the field forward.
We’re hiring generalist software engineers who can work across our robotics platform. Your work could touch anything from our low-level data collection systems, our simulation code, our evaluation pipelines, or our operations management. There’s a huge range of problems to solve here, and the only constant is that you’ll have a problem to solve.
What You’ll Do
Generalist engineers work on whatever has the highest impact. Examples include:
- building backend services and APIs for our robotics platform and customer-facing product
- building the orchestration layer for workflows that leverage real robotic hardware
- developing and implementing the architecture for a real2sim pipeline
- scripting integrations between hardware systems, cloud infrastructure, and software services
You might be a good fit if you have:
- strong programming skills in Python or C++
- the ability to ramp up quickly in unfamiliar codebases, tools, and problem domains
- built and shipped software in fast-moving environments where your role wasn’t clearly defined
- worked across multiple domains (backend, frontend, data, infra, scripting) even if you’re not an expert in all of them
- experience building systems that interact with physical hardware or manage compute-heavy workloads
- experience with AI, robotics, or large-scale data systems
Bonus points if you have:
- worked in real-time systems, robotics infrastructure, simulation, rendering, 3D engines, or streaming systems
- experience working with different sensor systems (video encoding, camera data, perception systems)
- familiarity with distributed systems
