About the job
Join Our Innovative Team at xdof
About the Role
At xdof, we are at a pivotal moment in the evolution of robotics. As frontier laboratories strive to create general-purpose robots, the need for high-quality training data has become critical. We are establishing the backbone for foundational models – including data collection systems, operational capabilities, exabyte-scale data warehouses, and comprehensive software toolchains – to empower our partners in propelling the field of robotics forward.
As a Solutions Engineer at xdof, you will act as the technical liaison between our extensive datasets and the leading researchers who are shaping the future of robotics. You will engage directly with customers at top-tier frontier labs, gaining a deep understanding of their requirements, integrating our data into their model training processes, and transforming their feedback into actionable enhancements for both our data collection operations and research platform.
This is not a mere support position; you will be an integral part of the engineering team, crafting production code that builds integrations within the broader robotics ecosystem and developing data pipelines that seamlessly connect xdof's datasets with our customers' training infrastructures. Collaborating with the sales team, you'll explore customer needs to uncover insights that will enhance our service to researchers. Additionally, you will work with the product team to convert unscoped insights into concrete platform advancements.
About You
We are on the lookout for a proactive engineer who is enthusiastic about the future of robotics and eager to make a meaningful contribution to the field.
Core Qualifications:
- A Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related field (junior candidates are encouraged to apply).
- Strong proficiency in full-stack development.
- Exceptional communication skills: the ability to distill complex customer requirements into clear tasks for operational teams, and to transform vague user needs into specific engineering directives.
- Proficiency in Python, along with familiarity with TypeScript and React.
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Have a proven history of collaboration across diverse technical teams.
- Possess a customer-centric mindset: you strive to understand users' actual needs beyond their immediate requests.
- Exhibit a bias for action: you prefer to deliver iterative improvements rather than waiting for the perfect solution.
- Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and uncertainty.
- Are mission-driven and passionate about the field of robotics.
