Job description

Software Engineer, Full-Stack

XDOF | Full-Time | San Mateo, CA

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 software toolchain – to help our partners drive the field forward.

Full-stack engineers at XDOF build the software that our team and our partners interact with every day: from the backend services that orchestrate jobs against real hardware, through to the UI that customers use to manage datasets, launch evaluations, and monitor results.

What You’ll Do

Full-stack engineers ship products across the entire stack. Sample projects include:

• building the customer-facing platform for partners to browse, search, and manage large-scale robotics datasets

• designing and implementing APIs that power both internal tools and external-facing platform features

• building interfaces for customers to configure, launch, and monitor workflows that run against real robotic hardware

• contributing to our data collection application across the full stack

• creating data visualization interfaces that help researchers and operators inspect collection quality at a glance

About You

Baseline skills

You might be a good fit if you

• have experience building data-intensive applications or tools for technical users

• have built product features that orchestrate or interact with physical hardware or compute infrastructure

• have worked with data visualization libraries or built custom dashboards

• have prior experience with AI, robotics, or scientific computing environments
