What is the project?
Menyala is launching a new venture out of Singapore in robotics. We partner with industry and research labs to capture the last un-automated layer of human labor. Using wearables, VR headsets, LiDAR, and video streams, we collect rich multimodal demonstrations of humans performing complex cognitive and physical tasks. This data powers the development of next-generation robotics foundation models. Long term, we’re building a global, decentralized dataset exchange for robotics - an ImageNet for embodied AI.
Opportunity
Initial 4-month contract
Potential for conversion into a full-time role
Significant upside: Equity available for the right candidate as a potential founding hire
Scope of Work
We're looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to take the lead in building and showcase the actual platform. This role goes beyond prototypes—it's about developing the actual product. You'll be writing production-level code, not just conducting research or exploratory work.
Domain Expertise
Ideal candidates will bring experience or a strong interest in:
3D technologies — Computer Graphics, Robotics, and Computer Vision
Simulation environments — Familiarity with tools like Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or PyBullet
Systems Engineering — Understanding of full-stack systems, from data pipelines to user interfaces
Bonus: Experience with teleoperation and multimodal data processing
Technical Skills
Strong proficiency in Python (core language)
Experience with deep learning frameworks: PyTorch or TensorFlow
Familiarity with NVIDIA platforms, GPU programming, and related acceleration tools
Exposure to Cloud Infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or equivalent)
Node.js or full-stack JavaScript experience is a plus
Candidate Profile
Master’s degree preferred (Computer Science, Robotics, or related fields)
Prior industrial or applied experience highly valued, but not strictly required
Deep passion for robotics, embodied AI, and emerging technologies
Open to hybrid, remote, or part-time arrangements
