Field AI is seeking a Data Platform Engineer, Infrastructure to build and maintain the cloud foundation for their data platform. This role involves designing, building, and operating cloud infrastructure, managing it as code, and provisioning for heavy workloads. The engineer will ensure platform reliability, security, and cost-efficiency, implement security and governance measures, build the observability stack, and create internal tooling. The ideal candidate has 3-5+ years of experience in infrastructure/DevOps/SRE roles, strong cloud (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, Terraform, and Python/Go skills, and experience with data infrastructure components and security fundamentals.
Location: Irvine, CA
Field AI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. We are building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. We go beyond typical data-driven(1) approaches or pure transformer-based architectures, and are charting a new course, with already-globally-deployed solutions delivering real-world results and rapidly improving models through real-field applications.
About Field AI
Field AI is at the forefront of robotic embodied AI, transforming industries like construction, security, mining, and manufacturing. Our autonomous robots operate globally, often in harsh environments, delivering critical insights to customers. Whether monitoring construction progress, ensuring safety compliance, or conducting predictive maintenance, Field AI is advancing technology to make a meaningful impact.

About the Data Platform Team
Every robot we deploy generates a continuous stream of telemetry, sensor logs, and operational data from environments around the world. The Data Platform team builds the systems that capture every autonomy intervention, anomaly, and operational signal from globally deployed robots, classify them, and turn them into the ranked problem list that drives our engineering roadmap.
About the Job
As a Data Platform Engineer, Infrastructure, you will build and operate the cloud foundation the entire data platform runs on — the systems every robot log, dashboard, and model-training run depends on. You will collaborate with pipeline and analytics engineers, as well as edge and robotics teams, to keep the platform reliable, secure, and cost-efficient as our fleet grows.
What You'll Get To Do:Field AI Onsite Work Philosophy:
Field AI believes in-person collaboration is essential for tackling complex challenges. These are fully onsite roles based in our Irvine office, with flexible hours to support work-life balance.
We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
Why Join Field AI?
We are solving one of the world's most complex challenges: deploying robots in unstructured, previously unknown environments. Our Field Foundational Models™ set a new standard in perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, ensuring our approach is explainable and safe for deployment. The data platform this team builds will carry every signal our robots produce — the raw material behind every autonomy improvement we ship.
You will have the opportunity to work with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. With a decade-long track record of deploying solutions in the field, winning DARPA challenge segments, and bringing expertise from organizations like DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise Self-Driving, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX, we are set to achieve our ambitious goals.
Be Part of the Next Robotics Revolution
To tackle such ambitious challenges, we need a team as unique as our vision — innovators who go beyond conventional methods and are eager to tackle tough, uncharted questions. We're seeking individuals who challenge the status quo, dive into uncharted territory, and bring interdisciplinary expertise. Our team requires not only top AI talent but also exceptional software developers, engineers, product designers, field deployment experts, and communicators.
Join us, shape the future, and be part of a fun, close-knit team on an exciting journey!
We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Candidates and employees are always evaluated based on merit, qualifications, and performance.
