About the Company

ABOUT RERUN We're building the data stack for Physical AI. The Rerun viewer is loved by the best robotics and spatial-AI teams. Rerun Hub, our data lakehouse, is in private preview and already managing petabytes of data for early customers. This is a hands-on, customer-embedded engineering role, right at the sharp end of physical AI. You'll work side by side with our customers over multi-month engagements, making sure the messy complexity of physical data never slows them down. We want builders. You'll stand up data pipelines and integrations, get customers' data flowing into Rerun, and keep their production systems moving. And by getting deep into their workflows and pain points, you'll help point Rerun's product and engineering teams at the problems that matter most. This is an early, high-ownership role. You'll help shape how deployments work as we grow.

Responsibilities

  • ● Run technical discovery and scope solutions for customer problems
  • ● Solve hard data and infrastructure problems inside customers' production environments
  • ● Feed recurring issues, patterns, and product gaps back to Rerun's engineering and product teams
  • ● Coordinate work across Rerun and the customer to keep deployments moving
  • ● BACKGROUNDS WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • ● We care about a strong technical foundation and genuine customer curiosity far more than a job title. You likely come from one of these backgrounds:
  • ● Data engineering / data platform engineering. You've built pipelines and worked with large-scale data.
  • ● Infrastructure / platform engineering. Solid systems background, plus real curiosity about the product and the customer, not just the infrastructure.
  • ● Software engineering with substantial data work. You've spent real time close to data, not just application code.
  • ● Strong in Python and hands-on data work
  • ● Able to learn fast and work through ambiguity
  • ● Comfortable being customer-facing: asking probing questions, surfacing hidden requirements, and coordinating across teams
  • ● Genuinely energized by understanding someone else's problem and solving it with them
  • ● 30% travel to spend time with customers during deployments
  • ● NICE TO HAVE
  • ● Robotics, autonomy, perception, or sensor-data experience
  • ● Open-source contributions or side projects you're proud of
  • ● Customer-facing experience
