Member of Technical Staff, Software Generalist
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 8, 2026. First seen by Alion on Jul 13, 2026. XDOF scores A on the Alion truth index.
Software Engineer, Generalist
At XDOF, we’re at an inflection point. Frontier labs are racing to build general-purpose robots, and high-quality training data is the bottleneck. We’re building the foundation behind the foundation models - the data collection systems, operational capability, exabyte-scale data warehouse, and software toolchain - to help our partners drive the field forward.
We’re hiring generalist software engineers who can work across the entire company. Your work could touch anything in our software stack. Some weeks you might be developing our data pipeline, other weeks you might be scripting a hardware integration, or shipping a quick internal tool. There’s a huge range of problems to solve here, and the only constant is that you’ll have a problem to solve.
What You’ll Do
Generalist engineers work on whatever has the highest impact. Examples include:
building backend services and APIs for our data platform and customer-facing product
writing data processing pipelines to transform and validate incoming robotics datasets
building the orchestration layer for workflows that leverage real robotic hardware
contributing to our data collection application across the full stack
scripting integrations between hardware systems, cloud infrastructure, and software services
About You
Baseline skills:
bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related field
fluency with Python and at least one other language
ability to quickly ramp up in unfamiliar codebases, tools, and problem domains
comfort operating across the stack without needing a narrow specialization to be productive
You might be a good fit if you:
have built and shipped software in fast-moving environments where your role wasn’t clearly defined
have worked across multiple domains (backend, frontend, data, infra, scripting) even if you’re not an expert in all of them
have experience building systems that interact with physical hardware or manage compute-heavy workloads
have prior experience with AI, robotics, or large-scale data systems
are very comfortable working in 0→1 environments
are mission-driven and passionate about robotics: work at XDOF is fast-paced and constant. We hope you love what you’re going to be doing, because you’ll be doing a lot of it!
