About the Role

Silicon Valley’s leading AI companies partner with us to scale high-quality data operations. As an SPL on robotics, you will:

Realize the data requests of robotics AI lab customers

Drive the tactical execution of data collection across a growing network of commercial partner businesses.

Own the throughput, quality, and coverage of what those sites produce, and hit supply targets against a demanding forecast.

Build deep client relationships with researchers at top AI labs.

Ensure flawless operational execution under demanding timelines.

This is a hands-on operations role for candidates excited by process optimization, rapid iteration, and high-intensity problem solving. We're an early-stage startup that operates with intensity. That means occasionally being responsive on weekends and always holding a high bar for output. The upside — performance incentives, career trajectory, and meaningful equity — reflects that.

What You'll Do

Operational Excellence

Design and manage the end-to-end collection pipeline, from site onboarding through capture, quality review, and delivery-ready data

Diagnose bottlenecks, restructure workflows, and implement solutions that improve quality, throughput, and cost-efficiency

Examples include: creating incentive systems, re-sequencing workflows, refining capture instructions, and scaling review processes

Customer Relationships

Act as the primary point of contact for research teams at leading AI labs.

Deliver clear, consistent reporting and proactively anticipate client needs.

Build long-term trust and identify opportunities for expansion.

Quality Reporting

Own coverage requirements: environment diversity, tasks, and geographies a dataset needs based on client requests

Find and close the supply gap between dataset requirements and what the current network actually produces, working with growth on where to add commercial partners

Run daily internal syncs (“war rooms”) to stay ahead of issues

Provide regular, transparent progress updates to customer-facing roles

What We're Looking For

Experience: Background in consulting, private equity, startups, or other operationally intense environments

Skills: Strong analytical and communication abilities; proven track record of managing complex projects

Mindset: Excited by “gritty” process optimization and large-scale execution

Comfortable operating without a playbook in a new org or startup environment

Nice to Have

Experience in physical operations, supply chain, logistics, manufacturing planning, or marketplace supply

Experience managing or supporting a distributed workforce, franchise network, or multi-site business

Experience with annotation, labeling, or training-data operations

Marketplace supply-side experience, particularly where supply had physical constraints

Experience in robotics or physical AI
