About the role

Mind Robotics is building robots that learn from real-world experience. The Data Infrastructure Engineer will build and operate pipelines that turn raw sensor and demonstration data into training-ready datasets, from ingestion to processing, quality filtering, and dataloaders for model training, within an existing architecture and scaling system.

Responsibilities

  • Build and scale ingestion pipelines for high-volume, high-dimensional sensor data.
  • Build and maintain data quality and curation systems, including both manual review workflows and auto-labeling.
  • Contribute to storage and retrieval design for large-scale multimodal datasets, including format choices and versioning/lineage.
  • Build and operate distributed processing infrastructure (batch and streaming).
  • Debug production issues in live data pipelines — data corruption, schema drift, backpressure, and failures that only show up at scale.
  • Work with modeling/research partners to understand data quality, format, and structure needs, and translate them into working pipelines.
  • Participate in design and code review across the data infrastructure stack.

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of software engineering experience, with some exposure to data pipelines, data engineering, or backend systems.
  • Strong programming fundamentals in Python, with the ability to write performant, production-grade data processing code.
  • Experience with at least one distributed data processing framework (e.g., Spark, Ray, Dask, or Flink), or strong fundamentals and willingness to ramp up quickly.
  • Familiarity with data storage concepts — object storage, data lake table formats, and warehouse vs. lake tradeoffs.
  • Bias for ownership: you've taken features or systems from prototype to production.
  • Clear communicator who collaborates well with research/modeling partners and more senior teammates.
