Cloud Platform Architect for AI-Driven Robotics

Roboticsconnected; Mountain View (WY); On-site; USD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Rhoda AI is building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots, and we’re looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to own the systems powering our robotics and AI platform.

You will design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure for data collection, robot operations, and model training, focusing on reliability, low latency, and scalable backend services that support both research and field deployments.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or a related role.
• Strong proficiency with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Hands-on experience managing relational and NoSQL databases in production.
• Experience operating data warehouse solutions (BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake) and large-scale object storage (S3, GCS).
• Proficient backend development skills in Python or Go.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems including consistency, availability, and latency.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes or similar container orchestration.
• Proven ability to debug and resolve complex production incidents under pressure.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure supporting data collection pipelines, robot operations, and model training and evaluation workflows.
• Own the reliability, availability, and latency of core infrastructure including databases, data warehouses, and object storage systems.
• Develop and maintain backend services and APIs that expose infrastructure capabilities to internal teams and customers.
• Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks across the data and compute stack to meet latency and throughput requirements.
• Partner with research teams to understand model training and evaluation infrastructure needs and translate them into scalable solutions.
• Collaborate with robotics teams to ensure field operations are reliably supported by low-latency backend services.
• Build observability tooling — metrics, logging, alerting — to proactively detect and respond to infrastructure issues.
• Define and enforce infrastructure best practices around security, cost management, and scalability.
• Participate in on-call rotations and contribute to incident response and postmortems.
