Job description

About Corvus

Every physical good spends time in a warehouse, and every warehouse tracks their inventory. Today, nearly 100% of warehouses track their inventory manually using barcode scanners and climbing forklifts.

We’re Corvus Robotics. Our fully autonomous Corvus One™ drones use computer vision & robotics to automatically track inventory, improving worker safety and increasing labor efficiency. We believe that data-driven, safe inventory management will optimize the global physical economy and improve economic prosperity for humanity.

About the Role

With a growing fleet of autonomous drones and an expanding customer base, we’re now ready to multiply ML iteration speed and unblock more advanced ML product delivery.

We’re hiring a systems-oriented Senior Software Engineer to build the data infrastructure, training pipelines, and internal tooling that our ML team needs to move faster.

Specifically in this role you will:

• Build and maintain the data pipeline infrastructure that consolidates internal infra, labeling tools, S3, and other data sources into a unified, queryable system

• Build tooling for dataset selection and curation that can programmatically target specific data (by environment, object type, etc.)

• Own ML data infra from robot to training run, accessible to the ML team without backend engineering help

• Build model evaluation and regression testing infrastructure – real metrics, not vibes or "someone complained in prod"

• Automate the model retuning loop for standard tasks so ML engineers can be mostly hands‑off on routine updates

This is a hybrid or remote role with periodic trips to HQ in Mountain View, CA.

Must Haves

• 2‑3 years shipping real production ML infrastructure for big datasets, not just scripts

• Experience building distributed data pipelines that consolidate multiple sources

• Demonstrated understanding of data flow from raw collection, labeled training set, to trained models

• Experience building systems from scratch, or contributed heavily to a small‑team infra build where the playbook didn’t exist

• Ability to thrive in a startup environment with high ambiguity. You’ll figure out what to build

Nice to Haves

• Experience setting up annotation tooling and workflows

• Background in robotics autonomy and computer vision

Experience integrating with tools like Kubeflow, SLURM, or similar for scalable training workflows
