The posting

FieldAI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. Our growing R&D team is based in Boston, where we develop risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that tackle the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the potential of embodied intelligence. We take a pragmatic approach that goes beyond off-the-shelf, purely data-driven methods or transformer-only architectures, combining cutting-edge research with real-world deployment. Our solutions are already deployed globally, and we continuously improve model performance through rapid iteration driven by real field use.

  • Stand up CI/CD for the humanoid monorepo: containerize, push to ECR, run unit tests, build, and gate on simulation system tests before promotion.
  • Work with the platform team's self-hosted GitHub Actions runners (ARM, AMD, CUDA, Jetson-class targets) rather than standing up parallel infrastructure.
  • Cut build times through change detection and remote caching — full builds are currently ~45 minutes uncached.
  • Build test infrastructure that lets the same test run against simple sim, Isaac Sim, or real hardware, driven over ROS 2 messages or the robot REST API.
  • Establish per-automation integration tests so shared-library and output-format changes cannot silently break pipelines.
  • Stand up and own FAIRI's Airflow stack for humanoid data processing.
  • Build the ingest path from robot to usable dataset: rosbag/MCAP capture, episode segmentation, format conversion, and delivery to training.
  • Implement data lifecycle guardrails — filtering, review-for-deletion, and retention — so idle-robot and failed-run data does not accumulate indefinitely.
  • Build and operate the dataset and mission registry so every dataset is attributable to a subject, session, robot, and purpose.
  • Support MoCapDB in production: ECS Fargate services, AWS Batch retargeting workers, RDS Postgres, and S3, integrated with FieldAI Auth.
  • Own FAIRI's AWS footprint as code: ECR, S3, IAM roles and cross-account trust policies, VPC and networking, Kubernetes/EKS workloads.
  • Close the gaps where infrastructure is not yet in code, and bring permissions changes under review.
  • Own compliance posture for research tooling — SOC 2 constraints on SaaS, experiment tracking, and data-sharing controls — in partnership with IT and Security.
  • Eliminate person-owned infrastructure: documented owners, runbooks, and access paths for every FAIRI-owned service.
  • Manage secrets, VPN/Tailscale access paths, and hardware-in-the-loop connectivity to robots on the floor.
  • Write and maintain runbooks, onboarding guides, and architecture documentation so a new engineer can test and deploy on day one rather than learning it from a teammate.
  • Be the interface between FAIRI and Field AI's platform, cloud, and data-processing teams — negotiating what FAIRI reuses versus owns.
  • Support researchers and systems engineers directly when pipelines, builds, or environments break, including live troubleshooting during demos.
  • Bring reproducibility discipline to research workflows: versioned configs, pinned environments, traceable runs.
  • 4+ years in DevOps, platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles
  • AWS in production: ECR, S3, IAM, VPC, EKS, Batch, ECS/Fargate
  • Infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK, Pulumi, or equivalent) with a review-and-version discipline
  • CI/CD design and operation at scale — GitHub Actions strongly preferred, including self-hosted runners
  • Kubernetes in production, including workload scheduling and resource governance
  • Container tooling and build optimization: Docker, BuildKit or daemonless alternatives (Buildah, Kaniko), multi-arch builds, remote caching
  • Workflow orchestration — Apache Airflow or equivalent
  • Python, plus comfort in Bash and reading C++
  • Linux systems administration and networking fundamentals
  • Observability: logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting you actually built
  • Comfortable being the only infra person in the room. You can take an open-ended ask and run with it without much hand-holding.
  • Bias toward reuse. You would rather integrate a platform team's runners than build a parallel stack, and you can negotiate that boundary well.
  • Strong documentation habits — you leave runbooks and processes better than you found them.
  • Pragmatic about research velocity. You know when to enforce rigor and when it would just slow the team down.
  • Infrastructure experience in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or ML research environments
  • ROS 2, rosbag/MCAP, or Foxglove familiarity
  • Large-scale data pipeline work — TB-scale sensor or video data, lifecycle and retention policy design
  • ML infrastructure: experiment tracking, GPU scheduling, training pipelines, simulation infrastructure (Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab)
  • Hardware-in-the-loop CI — running tests against physical devices from a pipeline
  • Compliance and audit experience: SOC 2, access reviews, data governance
  • Having been the first infrastructure hire on a team before
  • Interest in humanoid robotics and how machines learn from human movement

Why Join Field AI?

FieldAI is tackling one of robotics’ hardest problems: deploying robots in unstructured, previously unknown environments. Our Field Foundational Models™ advance perception, planning, localization, and manipulation with an emphasis on explainability and safety, so our systems can be trusted where it matters most.

You will work alongside a world-class team that values creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. We bring a decade-long track record of real-world deployments, strong performance in DARPA challenges, and experience from organizations such as DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX.

Our R&D organization is growing and anchored in Boston, with close collaboration across our teams in Southern California and with colleagues around the US and globally.

Be Part of the Next Robotics Revolution

Solving problems at this scale takes a team as unique as the mission. We are looking for people who push beyond conventional approaches, enjoy tackling tough and ambiguous questions, and bring interdisciplinary perspective. Our success depends on exceptional AI researchers and engineers, as well as strong software developers, product designers, field deployment experts, and communicators who can turn breakthroughs into real capability.

We are headquartered in Irvine, Southern California, with teammates across the US and around the world. Join us to shape the future of embodied intelligence as part of a fun, close-knit team building systems that work in the real world.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
