Faraday Future designs and manufactures intelligent electric vehicles and mobility software—including FF 91 production, AI-driven autonomous driving systems, over-the-air software updates, and global manufacturing and sales expansion.
<p><strong><u>The Company:</u></strong></p> <p>Faraday Future (FF) is a California-based embodied artificial intelligence ecosystem company, leveraging the latest technologies and world’s best talent to realize exciting new possibilities in mobility and robotics. We’re producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles and robots to establish new paradigms in human-AI interaction. We’re not just seeking to change how our cars and robots work – we’re seeking to change the way we drive and interact with machines. At FF, we’re creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.</p> <p> </p> <p>Under its expanded EAI (Embodied Artificial Intelligence) strategy, FF has launched the FF EAI Brain — a next-generation robotics intelligence platform designed to power quadruped and humanoid robots with advanced perception, motion control, and decision-making capabilities. The FF EAI Brain Robotics Developer Open Platform opens this intelligence stack to the world — giving external developers, researchers, and enterprises access to the same foundational robotics capabilities that power FF's own systems. The platform spans SDKs across multiple languages, a suite of open APIs covering motion, perception, and decision-making, a developer portal, an application marketplace, cloud-based developer services, and physical Developer Lab infrastructure. The Developer Platform Tech Lead is responsible for building and maintaining the engineering foundation that makes all of this possible.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><u>Your Role: </u></strong></p> <p>The <strong>Portal & Infrastructure Tech Lead</strong> will own the technical architecture, engineering execution, and long-term platform quality of the FF EAI Brain Developer Open Platform. You will set the technical direction for how FF's core robotics capabilities are exposed to the world — designing APIs and SDKs that are powerful, stable, and genuinely enjoyable to build with — and you will lead the engineering team that brings that vision to life. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: you will be expected to make and defend major architectural decisions, review and contribute code, define engineering standards, and serve as the primary technical interface between the platform engineering team and the broader organization — including robotics R&D, cloud infrastructure, product, and security. The ideal candidate is a seasoned platform engineer who has built systems used by large external developer communities, understands what makes an API a pleasure or a pain to work with, and has the leadership range to grow a high-performing engineering team while remaining deeply technically engaged. Someone with strong opinions — grounded in experience — about what makes a great developer platform.</p> <p><u>Responsibilities:</u></p> <ul> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Platform Architecture & Technical Strategy:</em></span><br>Own the overall technical architecture of the FF EAI Brain Developer Open Platform — including the API gateway, SDK distribution infrastructure, developer portal backend, authentication and authorization systems, application marketplace, and cloud developer services. Define the architectural principles, scalability targets, and reliability standards that the platform is built to. Make major technical tradeoff decisions and ensure the architecture can support a rapidly growing external developer community.</li> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>API & SDK Engineering Leadership:</em></span><br>Lead the design and engineering of the platform's core developer-facing products: the robotics APIs (covering motion control, perception, sensor fusion, autonomous decision-making, and inter-device communication) and the multi-language SDKs (Python, Node.js, Go, Java, and others as needed). Establish and enforce API design principles, versioning and deprecation policies, backward-compatibility standards, and SDK release processes that developers can depend on.</li> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Developer Portal & Tooling Infrastructure:</em></span><br>Oversee the technical architecture and engineering delivery of the developer portal — including developer account systems, API key management, usage metering, self-service documentation, sandbox environments, and developer analytics dashboards. Drive the build of internal tooling that accelerates the platform team's own velocity: CI/CD pipelines, automated API testing frameworks, SDK build and packaging automation, and documentation generation systems.</li> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Robotics Integration & Middleware Abstraction:</em></span><br>Collaborate closely with the FF robotics R&D and EAI Brain engineering teams to define clean abstraction layers between the internal robotics software stack and the external developer-facing APIs. Ensure that platform APIs expose the right level of capability to developers without compromising system safety, proprietary IP protection, or hardware compatibility across robot hardware generations.</li> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Engineering Standards & Technical Excellence:</em></span><br>Define and uphold the engineering culture and standards of the platform team — including code review practices, testing requirements (unit, integration, contract), security standards, incident response protocols, and documentation quality. Conduct architectural reviews for major new features and provide technical mentorship to engineers at all levels.</li> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Team Leadership & Hiring:</em></span><br>Build, lead, and grow a high-performing platform engineering team. Own hiring decisions, set clear performance expectations, provide ongoing coaching and feedback, and create an engineering environment where the best people do their best work.
