About Build AI
Build AI is the data hyperscaler for Physical AI. We’re vertically integrated across hardware, manufacturing, logistics, collection, and model training to scale the physical labor dataset orders of magnitude faster than anyone in the world.
Job Summary
We’re hiring someone to make it incredibly easy to see the dataset, collection, quality, and evals. You will build the analysis and visualization layer — from capture through slices, examples, and live pipeline health — so people look at the data instead of dumping to a notebook. If someone has to wait on you for a plot, the product is not done.
Key Responsibilities
•
Design and ship a visualization suite: data collection, processing, analysis, and UI (web and/or CLI) for the dataset and the data engine
•
Make looking at examples, batches, coverage, quality, and failures fast enough that research and ops actually do it
•
Build views for collection health, taxonomy coverage, and eval results, wired to live pipelines rather than one-off dashboards
•
Work with Head of Dataset & Quality, Evals Lead, research, and ops on what must be visible to make a decision
•
Treat viz as a product: latency, defaults, shareability, and a bar for how we look at video and pose

How we’re different
Build believes in the Bitter Lesson. By taking a general approach of learning from humans, our addressable market is all physical labor.
We are a fully in-person team in San Francisco (Financial District) and Shenzhen (Nanshan), and greatly value engineering skills. We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both and work across disciplines as needed.
