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
