Member of Technical Staff - Infrastructure Engineer, Frontier AI & Robotics (FAR)

Amazon’s Frontier AI & Robotics (FAR) team is seeking a Member of Technical Staff, Infrastructure to build and scale the foundational systems that power our robotics research and development platform. In this role, you will design and operate the distributed infrastructure that enables our researchers and engineers to train foundation models, run large-scale experiments, and deploy intelligent robotic systems at Amazon scale.

Join the next revolution in robotics, where you’ll work alongside world-renowned AI pioneers to push the boundaries of what’s possible in robotic intelligence. As a Member of Technical Staff focused on Infrastructure, you’ll build the critical platform layer that accelerates every aspect of FAR’s research — from high-throughput data pipelines and experiment management systems to low-latency model serving and configuration delivery for robotic deployments.

This role is deeply technical and focuses on performance, scalability, and reliability at scale. You will design systems that support volumes of training data, operate with strict latency requirements, and provide the compute and data foundation that enables breakthrough research across FAR’s robotics ecosystem.

Key job responsibilities
- Design and build scalable data infrastructure to support AI robotics research, including automated pipelines for data ingestion, processing, curation, and delivery

- Build highly scalable experimentation and analytics infrastructure to support model evaluation, A/B testing, and feature performance monitoring across robotic systems

- Design and operate low-latency configuration and model delivery systems powering progressive rollouts across FAR’s robotic platforms

- Improve the performance, efficiency, and reliability of FAR’s core compute and storage infrastructure, ensuring systems remain fast and stable as research scales

- Develop tooling and frameworks that accelerate research workflows, including dataset management, visualization, and quality assessment systems

- Optimize query performance and data availability for experimentation and analytics workflows used by research teams

- Collaborate directly with science and robotics teams to support research projects through both infrastructure development and hands-on technical contribution

- Lead large technical initiatives and shape the architecture of FAR’s research platform infrastructure
