Build, San Francisco
We’re hiring Members of Technical Staff – the general research/engineering seat. If you have a seriously compelling research bet you want to run on physical-labor, video, or world-model data, you might as well do it at Build. We have the dataset, we are scaling it by orders of magnitude, and a small team that will actually let you train on it.
You are not hired to polish a narrow job description. You are hired to pursue the bet, and to help us see what the data is teaching.
Build believes in the Bitter Lesson http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html. By taking a general approach of learning from humans, our addressable market is all physical labor.
We are a fully in-person team in San Francisco (Financial District) and Shenzhen (Nanshan), and greatly value engineering skills. We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both and work across disciplines as needed.
Build AI is the data hyperscaler for Physical AI. We're vertically integrated across hardware, manufacturing, logistics, collection, and model training to scale the physical labor dataset orders of magnitude faster than anyone in the world.
Build AI is an equal opportunity employer. We review every application. If you do not meet every bullet, still apply. Questions: research@build.ai
