Company mission

To expand human capabilities through advanced AI.

Role

Who you are

  • Our AI team is looking for an experienced AI Tooling Engineer to take our AI annotation and dataset tooling to the next level
  • The ideal candidate has experience building such tools for a large-scale deep learning system
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field
  • Minimum of 4 years of experience building full-stack web applications
  • Experience with JavaScript / TypeScript and React
  • Experience with Linux and command line tools

Desirable

  • Experience with Python and data manipulation libraries such as numpy, pandas, etc
  • Experience managing cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Experience building data annotation and dataset management tools
  • Experience using and managing data stores (Postgres, MySQL, ElasticSearch, Redis, etc.)

What the job involves

  • This role is focused on building full-stack web applications that help collect, annotate and organize neural network training data for the humanoid robot
  • Design and implement interactive software tools used to collect, manage and annotate data
  • Collaborate with our AI and robotics engineers to identify software requirements and take the lead on implementing them
  • Design intuitive and easy-to-use interfaces to accelerate the humanoid learning process

Our take

With an aging population and 10 million unsafe and undesirable jobs in the US, labour supply growth is predicted to flatline in the 21st century. Automation of jobs is a potential solution to these growing societal problems.

Exiting stealth in 2023, Figure Robotics joins a slew of AI and manufacturing companies with a distinct interest in humanoid robotics. The benefits of humanoid robotics, according to Figure, include the potential for them to take over unsafe or undesirable jobs from people, essentially leading to a happier and more purposeful society.

There’s clearly a long way to go, with Figure aware that its mission to expand human capabilities through advanced AI will take decades. That said, it has managed to raise more than $750 million in funding so far to help its long-term growth. And, with preliminary testing underway through a partnership with BMW, the company is certainly off to a good start.
