About the role
At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
Responsibility
- Maintain and improve our CI/CD pipeline: instrument and monitor our CI jobs, and iteratively improve on it.
- Manage and maintain infrastructure around build artifacts and dependencies storage.
- Build and improve on our cloud and GPU cluster, and create essential devops infrastructure to support our daily research and software development effort.
- Improve our MLOps training and deployment path: checkpoint registry/DB, model artifact promotion, and rollout to inference/robot endpoints.
- Improve our infrastructure observability.
- Harden security & multi-tenancy
