Humanoid is building the world's most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots.
HMND-01 Alpha is a rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots.
Responsibilities
Build the Capability Factory - an internal platform enabling the entire organization to teach HMND robots new skills at scale.
Curate, preprocess, and manage large-scale datasets for humanoid robot training — a corpus of robot telemetry growing toward petabyte scale.
Design and operate highly scalable data pipelines and the compute infrastructure that powers them.
Ensure the quality, accuracy, and consistency of training data across multiple concurrent projects and robot platforms.
Collaborate with machine learning teams to shape the Capability Factory, streamline MLOps, and build evaluation workflows.
Build data warehouse solutions and BI dashboards for stakeholders.
Establish and uphold best practices for data management — versioning, access control, security, and compliance.
Requirements
5+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of owning and delivering complex systems end-to-end.
Strong backend engineering — designing and operating production-grade APIs and services.
Data engineering at PB+ scale — batch and streaming processing patterns, data quality, and schema evolution.
Workflow orchestration at scale — multi-step automated pipelines with retries, observability, and graceful failure handling.
Distributed systems fundamentals — eventual consistency, idempotency, backpressure, job scheduling, and failure modes.
Cloud infrastructure fluency on a major cloud provider.
Container orchestration — deploying and operating workloads on Kubernetes.
Full-stack range — comfortable building both backend and frontend of an internal product.
Production ownership mindset — on-call, incident triage, and postmortems.
Nice to have
ML infrastructure or MLOps experience.
Distributed compute frameworks for large-scale parallel data processing.
Domain knowledge in robotics or embodied AI.
BI and data warehouse experience.
Dual-cloud or multi-cloud storage experience.
Frontend product sense.
Conditions
Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.
30+ paid days off, including 23 days of annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas–New Year shutdown).
Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care.
Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.
Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office.
Work at the frontier with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts.
Real ownership with direct access to founding leadership.
