About the Role
We are building the foundation behind foundation models for general-purpose robots, focusing on data collection systems, operational capability, exabyte-scale data warehousing, and software toolchains to accelerate the field's progress.
Responsibilities
- Own the full lifecycle of data collection projects, from requirements alignment and solution design through final delivery.
- Ensure data annotation projects meet client requirements on accuracy and SLA, while satisfying internal cost targets.
- Develop a deep understanding of clients' robot model training needs and commercial terms, translating ambiguous requirements into concrete data collection and annotation specifications.
- Coordinate teams across China, the US, and Southeast Asia to drive delivery outcomes.
- Proactively surface blockers and issues in collection or annotation workflows, and mobilize resources to resolve them.
- Monitor progress and accuracy across all stages in real time.
- Establish multi-tiered spot-check mechanisms to ensure delivery quality.
Requirements
- 2–5 years of project management experience.
- Background in AI data services, autonomous driving, or data BPO is a plus.
- Strong learning agility and structured thinking.
- Able to quickly identify the crux of complex robotics collection/annotation problems and drive to solutions.
- Able to serve as the central hub connecting product, engineering, data, operations, and overseas annotation teams.
- Exceptional communicator and coordinator who can mobilize resources across the organization and keep projects moving efficiently across time zones and languages.
- Fluent in written and spoken English.
- Comfortable with international travel and potential long-term overseas assignment.
- Thrives in — and genuinely enjoys — fast-moving, ambiguously defined early-stage environments.
Experience Level
- 2-5 years
Salary/Compensations
- Market competitive compensation
Benefits
- Scalable benefits, rewards, and perks
- Stock grant opportunities dependent on your role, employment status and location
- Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives
- Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics
- Startup culture prioritising speed, transparency, and minimal bureaucracy
About the Company
- At xdof, we're at an inflection point.
- Frontier labs are racing to build general-purpose robots, and high-quality training data is the bottleneck.
- We're building the foundation behind the foundation models – the data collection systems, operational capability, exabyte-scale data warehouse, and software toolchain – to help our partners drive the field forward.
