About the role
This is a software and systems role first. Robotics experience is not required, and we’re particularly excited about people who have built developer platforms, model APIs, or infrastructure products outside of robotics. Build Pi’s model API end to end, including data ingestion, fine-tuning, evaluation, low-latency remote inference, partner-facing tools, and deployment integrations. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experience building low-latency or real-time systems, including streaming, inference transport, WebSockets, QUIC, or similar technologies
- Experience building model-serving, inference, fine-tuning, or developer-platform infrastructure
- Experience at an early-stage infrastructure, AI, robotics, or autonomous systems company
- Familiarity with our stack: Python, Postgres, ClickHouse, GCP, Kubernetes, Modal, React, and TypeScript
- Experience with security, authentication, authorization, or multi-tenant infrastructure
More about this role
Physical Intelligence is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world. We are a group of engineers, scientists, roboticists, and company builders developing foundation models and learning algorithms to power the robots of today and the physically-actuated devices of the future.
We’ve made significant progress toward building models that can control many different robots across a wide range of tasks. Now, we’re building the platform that will make those models accessible to the broader world.
As an API Product Engineer, you’ll build the product surface that allows other companies to use Pi’s models much like developers use an LLM API today: bring their own data, fine-tune models, evaluate them, and run low-latency inference in their own environments.
You’ll own this experience end to end, turning capabilities that today require close collaboration with our team into a platform that can eventually support thousands—and ultimately millions—of robots.
Software Engineering at Pi builds the systems that scale research breakthroughs into reliable products in the physical world.
This role sits at the intersection of our AI, infrastructure, and external partners. You’ll work closely...
