## 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
