About the role
At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
We're looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to help build the internal platforms and tooling that power our research, robotics, and infrastructure teams. You'll work across a broad surface area — from frontend interfaces for data collection and model validation, to backend services and APIs that tie together our cloud infrastructure, robot fleet, and data pipelines.
What You'll Do
-
Build frontend interfaces for data collection, labeling, model validation, and experiment tracking
-
Design and maintain backend services and APIs that support fast-moving research and engineering workflows across cloud, robot, and data infrastructure
-
Build tooling and dashboards for observability across cloud infrastructure, distributed training jobs, and robot fleet status
-
Integrate with data infrastructure systems — storage backends, pipeline orchestration, and dataset management tools
-
Build interfaces and services that connect with our physical robot ecosystem — fleet management, teleoperation, and deployment tooling
-
Own reliability, performance, and scalability of internal platform tooling as usage and complexity grow
-
Collaborate closely with researchers, ML engineers, and robotics teams to understand needs and ship tools that accelerate their work
What We're Looking For
-
3+ years of experience in full stack development, ideally with internal tool or platform experience
-
Strong proficiency in a frontend framework (React, Vue, or similar)
-
Solid backend experience in one or more languages (Python, Node.js, Go, etc.)
-
Experience with cloud infrastructure and storage (e.g., AWS, GCP, S3, GCS) and backend services
-
Ability to design and work with APIs (REST or gRPC) and structured data pipelines
-
Comfort working across codebases and systems owned by different teams — robotics, ML, and infrastructure
-
Strong attention to security, privacy, and multi-tenant data isolation
-
Nice to Have (But Not Required)
-
Familiarity with ML training pipelines, model versioning, or experiment tracking tools
-
Exposure to robot fleet management, robotics control systems, or teleoperation
-
Experience with data infrastructure tooling — dataset management, pipeline observability, or large-scale storage systems
-
Familiarity with distributed systems or cloud infrastructure concepts (Kubernetes, job scheduling, cluster monitoring)
-
Why This Role
-
The platform you build is the operating system for how our researchers and engineers work — your tools directly influence how fast we can iterate on model quality and robot behavior
-
Rare opportunity to build internal tooling at the intersection of physical AI and large-scale robotics, with direct visibility into how foundation models get developed and deployed
-
High ownership in a small team — you'll make real product decisions, not execute design specs handed down from above
