Software Engineer, Developer Infrastructure

We’re seeking a skilled and motivated Software Engineer, Developer Infrastructure to design, build, and maintain the internal systems that power our engineering organization.

In this role, you will own development environments, tooling infrastructure, and build systems that enable teams across robotics, web, AI/ML, and data to ship reliably and efficiently. You’ll work closely with developers, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to improve code quality, developer velocity, and system consistency across our monorepo.

This is a high-leverage role with broad impact across the company’s engineering output. What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain containerized development environments
• Develop and enforce automated code quality and style checks
• Design and maintain internal CLI tools and developer workflows
• Own and improve monorepo build systems, file structure, and documentation
• Partner with robotics, web, data, and ML teams to support their development needs
• Improve developer velocity, reliability, and consistency across the codebase

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 3-7 years of software engineering experience
• Strong programming or scripting skills (Python or similar)
• Hands-on experience with Docker or other containerization technologies
• Solid understanding of Linux systems and development environments
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate across teams

What Sets You Apart

• Experience with build systems such as Bazel or Nx
• Experience supporting robotics software stacks (e.g., ROS, real-time systems, sensor integration)
• Hands-on experience designing or maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions)

FieldAI’s Irvine team is where embodied AI meets real robots, real sensors, and real field deployments. Based in the heart of Southern California’s robotics ecosystem, we build risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that solve the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the full potential of embodied intelligence. If you want your work to ship, get tested on hardware, and improve through real deployments, Irvine is the place. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-only architectures, combining rigorous engineering with learning systems proven in globally deployed solutions that deliver results today and get better every time our robots run in the field., Our salary range is generous and we consider each individual’s background and experience when determining final compensation. Base pay may vary based on role scope, job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and the Irvine, California market. Why Join FieldAI in Irvine? In Irvine, you will work where the robots are. Our local team builds and tests systems on real hardware with real sensors, then ships them to operate in unstructured, previously unknown environments around the world. We are solving one of robotics’ hardest challenges: reliable deployment outside the lab. Our Field Foundational Models raise the bar for perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, with an emphasis on explainability and safety for real-world use. You will collaborate with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. We bring deep experience from organizations such as DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise, Zoox, Toyota Research
