MLOps Engineer

About the role

A position building the learning infrastructure behind Muso-roid, our general-purpose robot worker. You will design and operate the entire ML infrastructure for physical AI — from pipelines for data collected from real robots and teleoperation, to training, evaluation, and deployment platforms for VLA models, to inference environments.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate pipelines from ingestion of data collected from real robots and teleoperation, through preprocessing, to training datasets
• Build ML infrastructure that automates training, evaluation, and deployment of VLA models
• Design storage and quality management for video and time-series data
• Build inference environments spanning cloud, on-premises, and real robots
• Build teleoperation environments using VR/AR
• Build automated model-evaluation systems

Why this role

• Design from scratch one of the few physical-AI ML platforms in Japan handling real robots and real field data
• Own the entire MLOps pipeline, from data collection to deployment, with wide discretion
• Shape technology choices and engineering culture as a founding-phase engineer

Required

• Experience building web/mobile apps and cloud systems for real robots
• Experience building training infrastructure in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, etc.)
• Development experience on Linux
• AI development experience

Nice to have

• Experience curating large-scale training datasets
• Experience building low-latency communication infrastructure
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines using simulators

Who we're looking for

• You insist on building robots that are truly used and relied on in the field — not built for demos
• You enjoy the absence of structure, and can design and establish things from zero to one
• You welcome autonomy and speed in a small team, and drive yourself forward

Employment & salary

• Employment: full-time
• Salary: 6M–15M JPY (depending on experience and skills)
• Working style: discretionary labor system for professional work

Daini TOC Bldg. 6F, 7-21-11 Nishi-Gotanda, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo

Benefits

• Two days off per week (Sat/Sun) and national holidays
• 20 days of paid leave, granted from the first year
