This particular position will focus on data infrastructure.
You will work with an amazing and collaborative research team that consistently produces influential works on multimodal foundation models, large-scale robot learning, embodied AI, and physics simulation. Your contributions will have a significant impact on our research projects and product roadmaps.
What you’ll be doing:
Design and maintain large-scale distributed data ETL and data management systems to support multi-modal foundation models for robotics.
Optimize GPU and cluster utilization for efficient model training and fine-tuning on massive datasets.
Implement scalable data loaders and preprocessors tailored for multimodal datasets, including videos, text, and sensor data.
Develop robust observability tools and procedures for this data infrastructure to ensure reliability and performance.
Collaborate with researchers to integrate cutting-edge data technologies into scalable training and eval pipelines.
What we need to see:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
15+ years of full-time industry experience in large-scale MLOps and AI infrastructure.
Experience with ML frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
Experience with Kubernetes and Ray.
Deep understanding of data frameworks and standards like SQL, Apache Spark, LanceDB.
Experience of GPU acceleration and CUDA programming.
Strong programming skills in Python and a high-performance language such as C++ for efficient system development.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Master’s or PhD’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field;
Demonstrated Tech Lead experience, coordinating a team of engineers and driving projects from conception to deployment;
Strong experience at building and operating large-scale data infrastructure;
Strong experience and curiosity in frontier AI research
