3.8 Software Engineer : Infrastructure and Tools

Job Description

Job Description

Field AI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. We are building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-based architectures, and are charting a new course, with already-globally-deployed solutions delivering real-world results and rapidly improving models through real-field applications.

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Software Infrastructure Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the foundational systems and services that support our software development and deployment processes. You'll work closely with developers, DevOps, and IT teams to ensure our systems are scalable, reliable, and secure. This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing company and support the success of enterprise clients in a dynamic environment.

What You Will Get To Do

• Design, build, and maintain core infrastructure components such as CI / CD pipelines, build systems, monitoring tools, and deployment frameworks.
• Develop and implement scalable solutions for service reliability, observability, and performance.
• Collaborate with development teams to optimize infrastructure for high availability and fault tolerance.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and management using tools like Ansible or similar.
• Improve system efficiency by automating recurring tasks and eliminating manual processes.
• Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure optimal uptime and security.
• Maintain and enforce best practices in system design, security, and code quality.

Compensation and Benefits

Our salary range is between ($70,000 - $300,000 annual), but we take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary; base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.  Also, while we enjoy being together on-site, we are open to exploring a hybrid or remote option.

Why Join Field AI?

We are solving one of the world’s most complex challenges : deploying robots in unstructured, previously unknown environments. Our Field Foundational Models™ set a new standard in perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, ensuring our approach is explainable and safe for deployment.

You will have the opportunity to work with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. With a decade-long track record of deploying solutions in the field, winning DARPA challenge segments, and bringing expertise from organizations like DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise Self-Driving, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX, we are set to achieve our ambitious goals.

Be Part of the Next Robotics Revolution

To tackle such ambitious challenges, we need a team as unique as our vision — innovators who go beyond conventional methods and are eager to tackle tough, uncharted questions. We’re seeking individuals who challenge the status quo, dive into uncharted territory, and bring interdisciplinary expertise. Our team requires not only top AI talent but also exceptional software developers, engineers, product designers, field deployment experts, and communicators.

We are headquartered in always-sunny Mission Viejo (Irvine adjacent), Southern California and have US based and global teammates.

Join us, shape the future, and be part of a fun, close-knit team on an exciting journey!
