We’re looking for a Robotics Data Infrastructure Engineer to own and build the data systems that power Verne’s robots in the real world. This is a hands-on founding engineer role with true ownership and freedom — your work will directly impact robots performing customer-critical tasks every day.
You will architect and deploy data pipelines on both AWS and edge devices, manage large-scale multi-modal datasets (images, video, time-series, text, etc.), and build the tooling that connects real-world robot data to training and evaluation workflows. You’ll work across the full robotics software stack, from ingesting sensor data and telemetry, to enabling large-scale policy learning pipelines that drive production robots.
Beyond writing great code, you’ll help drive technical decisions, lead cross-functional efforts, and bridge robotics, machine learning, and product requirements into scalable, reliable systems.
At Verne, you won’t just be writing code — you’ll be shaping the future of physical AI. Our mission is simple but ambitious: free humans from tedious manual work by deploying low-cost robotic automation at scale and democratizing bimanual robot manipulators for the world.
You’ll build systems that run on real robots, in real customer environments, driving immediate and tangible impact. You’ll join a small, world-class team where your ideas matter, your ownership is real, and your growth is accelerated. If you’re excited by hard problems, fast execution, and the chance to industrialize AI in the physical world, this is the team to be on.
We build AI models for controlling robot arms, enabling them to learn new skills in just hours. Our robots help businesses cut costs by automating back-of-house tasks with an innovative pay-by-the-hour business model. Our customers include a biotech unicorn, a leading biotech non-profit, and a direct to consumer apparel brand.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
