Job description

Open source revolutionised how we write software, but its impact on robotics stays limited due to expensive hardware accessible only to well-funded labs. We run that hardware as shared infrastructure for the broader community, billed only for active station time. For a given task, policies are evaluated under similar conditions, giving researchers common ground for fair comparisons.

In this role you will:

• Build internal tooling to submit, schedule, and track robot experiments.
• Write data pipelines for each episode's observations, actions, video, and configuration.
• Add tests, monitoring, and alerts to the services on each robot station.

What we hope you'll bring:

• Fluency in Python and experience with Git, Linux, and automated tests.
• Coursework or projects in distributed systems, databases, or networking.
• Interest in robotics or machine-learning infrastructure.
