Product Engineer, DaaS
Encord, San Francisco
The role
We're looking for a Product Engineer to join our Data as a Service team in San Francisco.
LLMs happened because internet scale text already existed. Robotics has no internet to scrape. Nobody has labelled the physical world at scale, and every robot, AV, and surgical system on earth is stuck on exactly that. Surgical teams need thousands of labelled procedures. AV teams are sitting on 100,000 hours of footage they can't use.
Our Data as a Service team exists to unstick all of it. Customers hand us robotics video, LiDAR, medical imaging. We hand back labels. Sounds simple. It isn't: an ML layer routing work between models and expert humans, quality that's measured rather than vibes, one platform serving AI labs on one side and a global annotation workforce on the other.
The teams work is largely greenfield. There's no legacy system to work around and no playbook to follow, because nobody has built this before. What you ship becomes the foundation. The last wave of AI was built on internet data; the next one will be built on data from the physical world, and this team is building the machine that produces it.
