Helix AI Engineer, Backend Infrastructure

Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our humanoid robot is designed for commercial tasks and the home. We are based in San Jose and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It’s time to build. We're looking for a senior-level backend engineer who has scaled high-throughput, low-latency data systems and has strong instincts around cloud infrastructure and real-time streaming pipelines. You'll architect and build the core backend systems that power Figure's real-time data infrastructure — enabling the scale and reliability that our AI and robotics platforms depend on. This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of media and sensor data streaming, cloud systems, and applied ML serving. You'll work closely with our AI and robotics teams to ensure latency, reliability, and throughput meet the demands of real-world robot operation. &l
