Cloud - Distributed Systems Engineer

The Role

Bedrock Robotics is transforming the physical world with autonomy. While others debate the future of AI, we're deploying it. With a team that helped put self-driving cars on public roads at Waymo, scaled systems for Segment's $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue, and with the backing of world-class advisors and investors from 8VC, Eclipse, Valor, Two Sigma, and many others, we are uniquely positioned to succeed in our optimistic vision of autonomy and industrial transformation.

We need you - exceptional autonomy is built on the highest scale and most complex infrastructure engineering. We are solving the challenges of scaled model training, data systems, observability, and real-time robotics. 

As a passionate distributed systems engineer you will have immediate impact on the core mission, and will also work on novel problems at the intersection of infrastructure and robotics. We are looking for experienced software engineers / TLs at all stages of their career experienced in large scale distributed systems or big data. 

Some of the challenges our team takes on include:

• Build the foundation for large scale end to end model training.
• Running inference of petabytes of video and lidar data.
• Scaling out Simulation-based evaluation of our stack.
• Building the Data platform that writes, indexes, queries, billions of metrics and labels.
• Power semantic search and data analysis using state of the art VLMs.
• Stream large amounts of data from robots operating across the US.
• Enable hardware-in-the-loop testing and validation.

Also, you get to drive 100,000 lb excavators.

Our roles are often flexible. If you don't fit all the criteria, or are in another location (especially one where we have an office like SF of NY) please apply anyway! We'd love to consider you. 

Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world

At Bedrock, we've assembled one of the most experienced autonomous technology teams in the industry, with deep expertise scaling breakthroughs across transportation, infrastructure, and enterprise software. Our leaders helped put the first self-driving cars on public roads at Waymo, scaled systems for Segment's $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue.

While others debate the future of AI, we're deploying it in the real world. Our systems are already installed on heavy machines across the country, learning on real construction sites and working to reshape the earth with survey-grade precision and exceptional safety. This isn't a simulation—it's autonomous intelligence working on billion-dollar infrastructure projects.

In just over a year, we've raised $80M, put our equipment into the field, and established partnerships with forward-thinking contractors who are integrating our technology into their operations. We're working quickly to close the gap between America's surging demand for housing, data centers, manufacturing hubs, and the construction industry's growing labor shortage.

Here, algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll collaborate with both construction veterans and experienced engineers, tackling problems where your work directly impacts how the physical world get built. If you're interested in applying cutting-edge technology to solve meaningful problems alongside a talented team—we'd love to have you join us.
