## Description

Physical Intelligence is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world. We are a group of engineers, scientists, roboticists, and company builders developing foundation models and learning algorithms to power the robots of today and the physically-actuated devices of the future.

As an ML Infra Engineer (Data Systems), you’ll build and operate the data infrastructure that powers large-scale robot learning. Your systems will sit directly between raw data sources and training/evaluation, enabling us to move faster while maintaining performance, correctness, and reliability at scale.

This is a systems role at the intersection of distributed systems, storage, and machine learning infrastructure.

The Team

The Infrastructure organization builds the foundations that make large-scale learning possible at PI. This includes training systems, data platforms, evaluation pipelines, and the tooling that allows researchers and roboticists to work with massive datasets safely and efficiently.

In This Role You Will

 - Data Ingestion & Processing: Design and build high-throughput pipelines that validate, transform, and featurize raw multimodal data.

 - Batch & Streaming Systems: Operate large-scale batch and streaming workflows over massive datasets.

 - Storage Systems: Design object storage layouts, metadata systems, and efficient access patterns; choose file formats with performance and scalability in mind.

 - Data Lifecycle Management: Build systems for backfills, dataset rebuilds, garbage collection, and large-scale transformations.

 - Training-Time Performance: Optimize d
