XDOF, San Mateo On-site
We're hiring our founding Forward Deployed Engineers. You'll embed with our most strategic customers and own their success end-to-end, from translating their model and data needs into concrete collection / annotation / delivery specs, to making sure the data we ship actually moves their model performance.
This is a critical role that today, our founders and core engineers absorb directly. As an FDE, you'll be the single technical owner for a portfolio of accounts, sitting at the intersection of customer delivery and core platform development, and you'll help define our forward-deployed motion as we grow.
XDOF is the data engine for embodied intelligence. We help the world's leading robotics and foundation-model labs unlock general-purpose robots by delivering the highest-quality teleoperation, on-embodiment, and egocentric data and paired with our own hardware ecosystem and a model fine-tuning loop that closes the loop on data quality. We recently emerged from stealth and are scaling our customer base of frontier AI and humanoid companies quickly.
