Member of Technical Staff, Software Generalist

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
