Build AI is the data hyperscaler for Physical AI. We're vertically integrated across hardware, manufacturing, logistics, collection, and model training to scale the physical labor dataset orders of magnitude faster than anyone in the world.
Job SummaryWe’re hiring Data Compliance so the scaling team can collect as hard as possible without being the ones who have to think about legal and consent. You write the documents, you make collection, storage, and use legal and consented, and you put those controls in the workflow. Ops should not pause a factory because the paperwork is not done.
Key ResponsibilitiesWrite and maintain consent, contractor/worker terms, privacy notices, retention, and cross-border transfer docs for in-the-wild collection
Put privacy-by-design into the collection path: consent capture, data minimization, retention/deletion, and access — not a PDF no one reads
Unblock scaling: make the aggressive collection strategy legal, including new countries and new setups, before the team shows up
Work with ops, marketplace, and software so consent and legality are in the product workflow
Handle trade and cross-border issues for collection devices and data (US / China / new countries), including what can move and what cannot
Make sure what we are actually doing matches the documents; close gaps when it does not
You’ve done privacy, employment/contractor, or data-collection compliance in a real operating company, not only policy theory
You can write the docs and also make them true in the field
You treat legal as an enabler of scale, not a brake
Fine with in-the-wild physical labor collection and a company moving fast across countries
Cross-border data (US / China / new countries) and/or trade/export familiarity for hardware and datasets
Employment or contractor law in physical workplaces
You have written consent flows that operators actually used
Familiarity with retention/deletion, data minimization, or privacy-by-design in a product
Competitive pay
Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage
$500 per month credit for waiving medical benefits
Housing subsidy of $2k per month for those living within walking distance of the office
Relocation support for those moving to San Francisco (Financial District) or Shenzhen (Nanshan)
Various wellness benefits covering fitness, mental health, and more
Daily lunch and dinner in our office
Unlimited compute budget subject to ROI justification
Unlimited Codex and Claude credits
