About the role

  • Member of Technical Staff - Product Engineering
  • THE PRODUCT ENGINEERING TEAM BUILDS THE PLATFORM THAT LETS OTHER COMPANIES USE PI'S MODELS: ACCESS TO OUR MODELS AND THE SERVICES AROUND THEM, SO A ROBOTICS COMPANY CAN BUILD ON PI THE WAY DEVELOPERS BUILD ON API-BASED LLMS. SEE THE PHYSICAL INTELLIGENCE LAYER https://www.pi.website/blog/partner.

Responsibilities

  • This spans data ingestion and APIs, a partner portal, and deployment integrations, all working end to end and self-serve.
  • Ingest partner data end to end: take a new data or robot partner from their first sample to featurized, validated data in our system, and to a checkpoint they can eval.
  • Be the engineer embedded in partner engagements: sit in the partner channel, debug their deployment across the full stack, unblock them, and translate what they need into what we build.
  • Bridge research and partners: turn research advances into deployable systems, and surface real-world failure modes back to researchers and engineers.
  • ACCESS TO OUR MODELS AND THE SERVICES AROUND THEM, SO A ROBOTICS COMPANY CAN BUILD ON PI THE WAY DEVELOPERS BUILD ON API-BASED LLMS.
  • SEE THE PHYSICAL INTELLIGENCE LAYER https://www.pi.website/blog/partner.
  • YOU TAKE A NEW PARTNER FROM RAW DATA TO A DEPLOYED, EVALUATED MODEL WITH LITTLE HAND-HOLDING.

Requirements

  • This is a software and systems role first, so a robotics or ML research background is not required.
  • We care more about what you can do than whether you fit a standard profile.
  • A practical, ownership mindset: you are motivated by making things work end to end.

Skills

  • clean Python, the ability to interface with infrastructure, and sharp debugging instincts.
  • Clear communication with researchers, operators, and partners.
  • Low-latency and real-time networking experience (inference transport, streaming, QUIC or websockets).
  • Experience with robot manipulation platforms, VLAs, or other ML models.
  • Familiarity with our stack: Python, Postgres, ClickHouse, GCP, Kubernetes, Modal, React and TypeScript.

Company info

  • Founded or worked at an early-stage robotics, AV, or infrastructure startup.
