Field AI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. We are building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-based architectures, and are charting a new course, with already-globally-deployed solutions delivering real-world results and rapidly improving models through real-field applications.

Job Summary :

As a System Administrator, you will be responsible for maintaining a robust, secure, and high-performance IT infrastructure that powers our R&D, simulation, and deployment environments. You will support a hybrid workforce of developers, roboticists, ML engineers, and hardware teams working with large datasets, compute-heavy workloads, and real-time systems.

What You'll Get To Do

• Administer and support workstations, servers, network devices, and IT systems in a Linux-heavy environment.
• Manage user accounts, access controls, and permissions across local and hybrid environments.
• Maintain on-prem and integrated storage systems, version control infrastructure (e.g., Git, GitLab), and build environments.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to support dev environments (e.g., Docker, ROS, CI / CD tools)
• Monitor and tune system and network performance, ensuring high availability and reliability.
• Support endpoint protection, system hardening, vulnerability scanning, and patch automation.
• Manage remote access using modern zero trust and secure web gateway solutions (e.g., Cloudflare)
