About the role
We’re looking for a Robotics Data Infrastructure Engineer to own and build the data systems that power Verne’s robots in the real world. This is a hands-on founding engineer role with true ownership and freedom — your work will directly impact robots performing customer-critical tasks every day.
What they're looking for
- B.S., M.S., Ph.D. in computer science or related fields
- Strong programming skills in Python (you write clean, efficient, production-ready code)
- Strong experience in AWS
- Systems engineering skills (networking, concurrency, performance)
- At least 2 years of full-time work experience for candidates with a B.S. in related fields. 1 years of experience for M.S. or Ph.D. candidates
More about this role
We’re looking for a Robotics Data Infrastructure Engineer to own and build the data systems that power Verne’s robots in the real world. This is a hands-on founding engineer role with true ownership and freedom — your work will directly impact robots performing customer-critical tasks every day.
You will architect and deploy data pipelines on both AWS and edge devices, manage large-scale multi-modal datasets (images, video, time-series, text, etc.), and build the tooling that connects real-world robot data to training and evaluation workflows. You’ll work across the full robotics software stack, from ingesting sensor data and telemetry, to enabling large-scale policy learning pipelines that drive production robots.
Beyond writing great code, you’ll help drive technical decisions, lead cross-functional efforts, and bridge robotics, machine learning, and product requirements into scalable, reliable systems.
Build and own our data backbone on AWS: Design and run cloud + edge pipelines using services like IoT Core, S3, ECR, Batch, ECS/EKS, and Step Functions. Your work keeps robot data flowing reliably and cost-efficiently from the field into the lab.
