About the role

  • About Field AI Field AI is at the forefront of robotic embodied AI, transforming industries like construction, security, mining, and manufacturing.
  • Whether monitoring construction progress, ensuring safety compliance, or conducting predictive maintenance, Field AI is advancing technology to make a meaningful impact.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build the data platform, frameworks, and developer tooling that power ingestion across Field AI.
  • Develop reusable ingestion SDKs, APIs, and services that enable teams to onboard new robotics data sources with minimal custom code.
  • Build and maintain integrations across heterogeneous sources: robot/edge systems, fleet management and deployment tooling, simulation outputs, and cloud object storage.
  • Develop connectors and APIs (REST/gRPC, webhooks, CDC) so internal teams can feed data in and consume curated datasets reliably.
  • Own integration reliability end to end: schema contracts, versioning, retries, backfills, and monitoring.
  • Optimize pipeline performance, scalability, and cost across growing fleet deployments.
  • Experience building integrations across systems: third-party APIs, internal services, and CDC/ELT tooling (Fivetran, Airbyte, Debezium, or custom connectors).
  • Experience building for data quality: testing, monitoring, lineage, and incident response.

Requirements

  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in interdisciplinary teams.
  • Experience with robotics, autonomy, automotive, or other telemetry-heavy operational data (bag files, fleet logs, time-series sensor data).
  • Familiarity with robotics middleware and log formats such as ROS/ROS2, MCAP, or rosbag.
  • Experience with edge computing or intermittently connected data collection.
  • Experience with dbt or similar transformation frameworks.

Nice to have

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 3-5+ years of experience in data engineering or backend engineering focused on pipelines and infrastructure.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and SQL (C++, Scala, or Java a plus).
  • Production experience with streaming systems (Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub) and orchestration tools such as Airflow or Dagster.
  • Experience with a modern warehouse or lakehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift) and cloud object storage at scale.

Skills

  • robot/edge systems, fleet management and deployment tooling, simulation outputs, and cloud object storage.
