HUD

About HUD HUD's mission is to build reliable, fair and open infrastructure for AI data. We want data to be valuable for the people who create it and trustworthy for the labs that train on it. Our team is a quickly growing group of researchers, engineers and operators building the economy that shapes what AI will become. Backed by $16M from top VCs and YC (W25), our marketplace and platform are used by startups, Fortune 500 companies and frontier labs. About the role We’re looking for a Research Engineer for our Robotics team to develop the datasets and evals that make robotics data useful for training and evaluating embodied AI systems. You’ll translate open-ended research needs into data specifications, build methods to validate data, and run experiments to understand which data and structures improve model performance. Responsibilities - Research the data needs of robot learning and physical AI systems, and turn them into concrete dataset and evaluation specifications - Define data schemas, annotations, ground truth, and quality standards across robotics data types - Design collection and review protocols that external data providers can execute reliably - Build tools and validation workflows to audit datasets, identify quality issues, and give providers actionable feedback - Run experiments and analyze model behavior to understand how data quality, coverage, and structure affect performance - Work with HUD’s research and engineering teams, and when needed with data vendors and buyers, to improve robotics data offerings Experience You may be a good fit if you have: - Experience in robotics, robot learning, embodied AI, or closely related multimodal research - Proficiency in Python and experience building data processing, analysis, or evaluation tools - Experience turning research questions into dataset specifications, experiments, and measurable quality criteria - Strong understanding of what makes robotics data useful for training or evaluation—and where it can be misleading - Attention to detail and the ability to spot subtle errors, coverage gaps, and failure modes in complex data - Experience building research tools or pipelines without a fully prescribed roadmap Strong candidates may also have: - Worked with robot trajectories, demonstrations, video, sensor data, simulation, or other multimodal robotics datasets - Experience with imitation learning, reinforcement learning, or vision-language-action models - Worked in unstructured problem spaces and take ownership from early research through production deployment - Early-stage startup experience and strong communication skills for collaboration across teams and time zones We prioritize technical aptitude and learning potential over years of experience. Motivated candidates are encouraged to apply even if they don't meet all criteria. Team & company details - Team Size: ~25 people currently, mostly full-time in-person, but some remote. - Our team: Our team includes 4 International Olympiad medalists (IOI, ILO, IPhO), serial AI startup founders, and researchers with publications at ICLR, NeurIPS, etc. - Company stage: We have 8 figures in funding and are scaling profitably and quickly to meet very strong demand. Logistics - Employment: Full-time. - Location: We have offices in San Francisco or Singapore but are open to remote candidates who can work hours that 70-80% overlap with either San Francisco or Singapore time zones. - Visa Sponsorship: We provide support for relocation and visas for strong full-time candidates to the US or Singapore. - Timeline: Applications are rolling. The process is 2 technical interviews and a 2-3 day work trial. What we offer - Competitive compensation - 100% covered top-of-the-line medical, dental, and vision (US and Singapore employees) - Lunch and dinner for in-office employees - Company-wide holiday break (Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day) on top of PTO and paid holidays - Other perks including an Equinox membership, 401k, and commuter benefits (US employees) and a health/wellness stipend (Singapore employees) - Unlimited* access to tokens for ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, etc. *By unlimited, we mean no one on our token usage leaderboard has ever hit a limit. So we have no idea what the limit is. - Two top-floor offices in San Francisco’s Union Square and Singapore’s Raffles Place - Annual travel budget to visit either office Compensation Actual offers are adjusted for experience and location, but our base salary bands are - San Francisco (and other major US cities): $135,000 - $230,000 - Singapore: $100,000 - $175,000 - Rest of world: $100,000 - $175,000 Due to high volume, we may not actively respond to every application, but feel free to contact us at [email protected] or elsewhere if we missed your application!

FAQs

Good questions, answered.

What to know about the AI and engineering roles listed here.

What counts as an AI Engineering job?

AiRagJobs lists engineering roles that build, deploy, or operate AI/ML systems — including LLM engineering, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), AI agents, prompt engineering, AI infrastructure and MLOps, model serving/inference, and fine-tuning. It excludes non-engineering functions like AI sales or marketing roles.

What is the difference between an AI Engineer and a Machine Learning Engineer?

An AI Engineer typically builds applications on top of existing models — LLM integration, RAG pipelines, agent orchestration, and prompt design. A Machine Learning Engineer more often trains, fine-tunes, or productionizes custom models. Many companies use the titles interchangeably, so search both when browsing.

Does AiRagJobs include AI infrastructure and MLOps roles?

Yes. Titles such as AI Infrastructure Engineer, ML Platform Engineer, GPU Infrastructure Engineer, Inference Engineer, MLOps Engineer, and AI Site Reliability Engineer are all covered — these roles focus on the systems that serve and scale AI models rather than building models themselves.

Are remote AI and ML jobs available?

Yes. Filter by "Remote" on the jobs page to see fully remote AI/ML engineering roles, or browse the remote jobs feed directly.

What skills are most in demand for AI engineering roles?

The most commonly requested skills are LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), RAG and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant), agent frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen), inference/serving tools (vLLM, Ray Serve, TensorRT-LLM), and fine-tuning. Use the skill filters on the jobs page to browse by specific technology.

How fresh are the job listings?

Listings are sourced continuously from company career pages and refreshed automatically. Each job shows when it was posted, and the sitemap and API expose last-updated timestamps for every posting.

How much do AI Engineers get paid?

Compensation varies widely by role, seniority, and location. Where employers disclose a salary range, it is shown directly on the job listing — filter by salary range on the jobs page to narrow results to your target compensation.
