Data Platform Engineer, Fauna

We are looking for a Data Platform Engineer to build the foundational data systems that power our robotics and machine learning this role you will design and implement the infrastructure for collecting storing processing and transforming the vast amounts of data generated by our robotsfrom sensor telemetry and video streams to operational logs and performance metrics.
Youll work closely with ML teams to ensure data is accessible well-structured and ready for training. Your work will enable research teams to iterate faster and operations teams to monitor fleet performance as we scale.

Key job responsibilities
- Design and build scalable data pipelines for ingesting and processing robotics data (sensor streams video telemetry logs)
- Develop and maintain data storage solutions optimized for diverse data types and access patterns
- Create tools and APIs for researchers and engineers to efficiently query and analyze large datasets
- Build real-time data processing systems for monitoring robot fleet performance
- Build and maintain data transformation pipelines that prepare robotics data for ML training
- Collaborate with ML and robotics teams to ensure data platforms meet their evolving needs

About the team
Fauna Robotics an Amazon company is building capable safe and genuinely delightful robots for everyday life. Our goal is simple: make robots people actually want to live and interact with in everyday human spaces.
We believe that future wont arrive until building for robotics becomes far more accessible. Today too much effort is spent reinventing the fundamentals. Were changing that by developing tightly integrated hardware and software systems that make it faster safer and more intuitive to create real-world robotic products.
Our work spans the full stack: mechanical design control systems dynamic modeling and intelligent software. The focus is not just functionality but experience. Were building robots that feel responsive expressive and genuinely useful.
At Fauna youll work at the frontier of this space helping define how robots move manipulate and interact with people in natural environments. Its an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build.
If you care about making robotics real for everyone and building systems that are as delightful as they are capable were interested in hearing from you.
