Job summary

Dream Labs is hiring software engineers to build the systems around our robots: data, infrastructure, and the tools researchers use daily. You will work broadly in a small team, building end-to-end production software that supports training, evaluation, and deployment of models.

This implementation role focuses on creating scalable, reliable systems, collaborating with ML researchers and operators in a fast-moving environment. On-site in Bay Area.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience building and shipping production software that other people depend on.
• Strong proficiency in Python, plus Linux and Git.
• Experience designing and operating services, APIs, and databases in a cloud environment.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure e.g. AWS, GCP
• Strong cross-stack debugging and problem-solving skills.
• The ability to work from a described problem rather than a written specification.
• Experience using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, or comparable tools, including reviewing and validating generated code.
• Ownership and initiative: you find problems and solve them without waiting for direction.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment and taking ownership of ambiguous problems.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate production software that our research and operations work depends on.
• Own systems end to end, from the conversation that surfaces the need through deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
• Work directly with ML researchers, robotics engineers, and robot operators, who all sit in the same room as you.
• Debug across boundaries, following a problem through services, storage, network, and hardware until it is actually understood.
• Build the logging, monitoring, and diagnostics needed to know whether a system is healthy.
• Re-architect what we have ahead of each order-of-magnitude increase in scale.
• Use AI coding agents to accelerate implementation, testing, debugging, and documentation.
• Improve reliability, performance, and maintainability as a matter of routine, not as a separate project.
