XDOF builds data pipelines, collection tools, and annotation systems to generate high-quality training data for robotics.
Software Engineer, Full-Stack XDOF | Full-Time | San Mateo, CA At XDOF, we’re at an inflection point. Frontier labs are racing to build general-purpose robots, and high-quality training data is the bottleneck. We’re building the foundation behind the foundation models – the data collection systems, operational capability, exabyte-scale data warehouse, and software toolchain – to help our partners drive the field forward. Full-stack engineers at XDOF build the software that our team and our partners interact with every day: from the backend services that orchestrate jobs against real hardware, through to the UI that customers use to manage datasets, launch evaluations, and monitor results. What You’ll Do Full-stack engineers ship products across the entire stack. Sample projects include: - building the customer-facing platform for partners to browse, search, and manage large-scale robotics datasets - designing and implementing APIs that power both internal tools and external-facing platform features - building interfaces for customers to configure, launch, and monitor workflows that run against real robotic hardware - contributing to our data collection application across the full stack - creating data visualization interfaces that help researchers and operators inspect collection quality at a glance About You Baseline skills: - bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related field - strong proficiency in Python and at least one modern frontend framework (React, Vue, or similar) - experience building and shipping web applications with real users, from database to UI - comfort designing APIs and working across backend services, databases, and frontend code You might be a good fit if you: - have experience building data-intensive applications or tools for technical users - have built product features that orchestrate or interact with physical hardware or compute infrastructure - have worked with data visualization libraries or built custom dashboards - have prior experience with AI, robotics, or scientific computing environments - care about craft in both backend architecture and frontend UX - are very comfortable working in 0→1 environments - are mission-driven and passionate about robotics: work at XDOF is fast-paced and constant. We hope you love what you’re going to be doing, because you’ll be doing a lot of it!
