Responsible for designing, building, and maintaining foundational systems and services, focusing on infrastructure components, automation, and performance monitoring.
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.
What You Have
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
- 3+ years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure roles.
- Strong programming/scripting skills in languages such as Python, TypeScript, or similar.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container orchestration.
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (AWS CDK, etc.).
- Knowledge of monitoring and logging systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry).
- Solid understanding of networking, Linux systems, and security best practices.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
What Will Set You Apart
- Familiarity with robotics systems or infrastructure to support robotic applications (e.g., ROS, real-time systems, sensor integration).
- Exposure to distributed systems and microservices architectures.
- Background in site reliability engineering (SRE) practices.
Compensation and Benefits
Our salary range is generous ($70,000 - $200,000 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!
We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Candidates and employees are always evaluated based on merit, qualifications, and performance. We will never discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, martial status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
