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
Baseline skills:
bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related field
strong proficiency in Python and at least one modern frontend framework (React, Vue, or similar)
experience building and shipping web applications with real users, from database to UI
comfort designing APIs and working across backend services, databases, and frontend code
You might be a good fit if you:
have experience building data-intensive applications or tools for technical users
have built product features that orchestrate or interact with physical hardware or compute infrastructure
have worked with data visualization libraries or built custom dashboards
have prior experience with AI, robotics, or scientific computing environments
care about craft in both backend architecture and frontend UX
are very comfortable working in 0→1 environments
are mission-driven and passionate about robotics: work at XDOF is fast-paced and constant. We hope you love what you’re going to be doing, because you’ll be doing a lot of it!
