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.

We’re hiring generalist software engineers who can work across the entire company. Your work could touch anything in our software stack.
