Build AI is the data hyperscaler for Physical AI. We're vertically integrated across hardware, manufacturing, logistics, collection, and model training to scale the physical labor dataset orders of magnitude faster than anyone in the world.
We build hardware and software to collect data from people doing physical work. We’re hiring a Software Engineer in India to build the systems that run these operations at scale.
Our field teams recruit workers, assign wearable cameras, collect devices, upload footage, and coordinate payments. Your software should make this process reliable and easy to run across cities. You will work closely with founders and operations teams to identify problems, ship solutions quickly, and improve them based on field use — owning each problem from understanding through deployment and support. You should be comfortable working across the stack and learning whatever is needed.
