About the role

Backend/data engineering role focused on building scalable robotics data infrastructure, pipelines, and delivery systems to serve customer-specific robotics data formats and schemas.

Responsibilities

  • Own the reusable infrastructure behind robotics data deliveries: the processing, packaging, and delivery systems
  • Format and transform datasets to per-client specification: MCAP and other container formats, custom schemas, field mappings, metadata, and versioning
  • Work directly with customer engineering teams to scope and build bespoke schemas, custom fields, and one-off transforms where requirements are custom
  • Build and operate the pipelines that move data from Mercor's systems into customer storage reliably at petabyte scale
  • Partner with operations and product to turn evolving requirements into shipped data deliveries, and prototype quickly when a new data type or customer arrives
  • Build automated validation techniques

Qualifications

  • Strong backend and data engineering fundamentals in a modern language (Python, Go, Rust) and comfort operating production systems on AWS and GCP
  • Experience building and owning high-volume data pipelines, not just contributing to them
  • Experience with large binary formats, streaming ingestion, distributed batch processing, and object storage economics
  • Customer-facing instincts: you can lead a technical conversation, ask the right questions, and push back when a request is unreasonable
  • Comfort working through ambiguity and shipping iteratively with a product team, where requirements evolve with the customers and data types
