> Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and ingestion workflows for a growing data lake. The role involves defining data quality standards, optimizing performance, and implementing monitoring and alerting systems to ensure data reliability and observability.

## Job description

Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and into the real world. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. Today, we're deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction equipment across the country, improving safety on job sites and accelerating schedules on critical infrastructure projects.

We're not here debating the future of AI. We're deploying it in the real world. In just two years, we've raised $350M and achieved the first fully autonomous excavator deployments in construction.

This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems, we'd love to have you join us.

## The Role

Our Data Platform is growing fast - more users, more data sources, more pipelines - and the expectations that come with that growth are rising accordingly. We need a Senior Data Engineer who can work across the stack: tighten up our ingestion pipelines, write new ETL pipelines wherever needed, build out monitoring and alerting where we have blind spots, and help internal teams build their own data infrastructure “the right way”. You'll spend real time in the weeds - writing and debugging pipelines, optimizing queries, reviewing what others have built - and you should be comfortable with that.

This is a high-impact role. Our data is increasingly tied to the experiences we deliver to customers, which means data quality, accuracy, and observability are no longer just engineering concerns - they directly affect trust. You'll be at the center of that challenge.

## What you’ll do

- You will design, build, and maintain robust, scalable data pipelines and ingestion workflows across a growing Data Lake;
- Define and enforce data quality standards, SLOs, and validation frameworks to ensure accuracy and reliability of critical data assets;
- Continuously optimize existing pipelines for performance and cost efficiency as data volumes scale;
- Expand and own our monitoring and alerting coverage — surfacing data issues before they become customer-facing problems;
- Drive best practices around data modeling, partitioning, and compute resource utilization;
- Also, you get to drive 100,000 lb excavators.

## What we’re looking for

- 5+ years of experience in data engineering, with a strong track record in large-scale data lake or data warehouse environments
- 5+ years of experience working with SQL and distributed query engines (e.g. Spark, BigQuery, Snowflake, or similar)
- Deep proficiency with pipeline orchestration tools (e.g. Airflow, Prefect, or equivalent) and transformation frameworks (e.g. Spark)
- Experience designing and implementing data quality frameworks - validation, anomaly detection, lineage tracking
- Familiarity with observability tooling for data systems: monitoring, alerting, and incident response for data pipelines
- Experience enabling non-engineering stakeholders to self-serve on data infrastructure, whether through documentation, tooling, or hands-on enablement

## Preferred Qualifications

- Hands-on experience with Databricks and Spark
- Experience with streaming or near-real-time ingestion patterns
- Familiarity with data governance and access control at scale
- Background working on customer-facing data products or external SLAs

## About Bedrock Robotics Inc

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Bedrock Robotics brings advanced autonomy to heavy machinery, upgrading existing construction equipment for fully autonomous operation to help the industry build faster and safer.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Boris Sofman (Co-Founder & CEO), Kevin Peterson (Co-Founder & CTO), Tom Eliaz (Co-Founder & VP, Engineering), Laurent Hautefeuille (Co-Founder & VP, Engineering)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Robotics Engineering / Autonomous Heavy Equipment / Construction Technology
- **Target customers**: B2B — construction companies, infrastructure developers, and heavy machinery fleet operators
- **Mission or purpose**: Transforming how we develop the world by enabling the construction industry to build at the pace of societal demand through autonomous technology.

## Products & Services
- **[Bedrock Operator]**: An autonomous system that retrofits existing heavy equipment (e.g., excavators) to operate independently, adapting to on-site challenges, tracking productivity, and delivering expert-level quality with superhuman safety. Type: Hardware + Software (Autonomy Platform).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed (latest funding round values the company at a significant premium).
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding — $350M raised (Series B of $270M closed in early 2026).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: NVentures (NVIDIA), Valor Equity Partners, 8VC, Eclipse, Tishman Speyer, and 21+ other investors. Backed by key strategic partners in construction and real estate.
- **Growth Signals**: 
    - Headcount grew 5,950% YoY (from ~1 to 85 employees in its first year).
    - Named "Outperformer" among 15 companies including Caterpillar, Sandvik, and Epiroc by CB Insights.
    - Covered by The New York Times, Forbes, and Engineering News Record for major funding and field deployments.
    - Completed a major project removing 65,000 cubic yards of dirt on a Southwest construction site.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep autonomy heritage**: Founding team spent years at Waymo perfecting autonomous systems for complex, safety-critical driving on public roads — a rare and transferable expertise.
- **Real-world deployment**: Technology is proven on active construction sites (not just simulations), with tens of thousands of hours of field data.
- **Retrofit model**: Upgrades existing heavy equipment rather than requiring new machinery, lowering adoption barriers for construction firms.
- **Continuous improvement**: The Bedrock Operator learns and sharpens skills with every project, creating a data moat.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling deployment of autonomous heavy equipment across major construction projects (housing, data centers, energy, factories).
- Expanding the range of machinery types that can be retrofitted.
- Deepening partnerships with construction firms and equipment manufacturers.
- Growing the engineering and field operations teams to accelerate product development and customer support.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: A passionate, product-driven team that works hand-in-hand with customers. Emphasizes real-world impact — field tests on active construction sites generate as much excitement as breakthrough code.
- **Work Environment**: Hybrid presence with offices in Downtown San Francisco, Soho (New York City), and test facilities in Texas and California.
- **Perks**: Comprehensive health & well-being coverage, daily in-office meals, commuter benefits, unlimited time off, paid parental leave, 401k retirement plan.
- **Engineering Focus**: Work on unsolved problems — bringing autonomous technology to market that will revolutionize construction. Exposure across product, technology, and business. First pair of steel-toed boots provided.
- **Team**: Collaborate with a diverse group of experts from Waymo, Zoox, Cruise, Caterpillar, and other top robotics/autonomy companies.
