About this role
About Build AI
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.
Responsibilities
Build is launching a planet scale data collection effort to solve physical labour. We're excited to work with high agency, aggressive, and creative operators/founders in each country to launch operations, blitz scale, and ensure reliable delivery of high quality diverse data.
This is a highly autonomous role. You are expected to own the results of your region end to end.
You will operate on-ground, developing, mastering, and scaling each part of the data collection system. You are not a paper-manager, overseeing operations. You are a founder-operator who owns the results of the entire region/country.
You will identify opportunities and regions for expansion and execute the launch strategy independently. This includes building exceptional local sales teams (both door to door and cold calling), running meta ads or UGC, sending mass cold outbounds, and establishing partnerships with local businessmen, politicians, and enterprises.
You will scale rapidly and reliably. You will build your team, setup the logistics and upload infrastructure, design the correct incentive structures to compress costs and increase predictability of data collection, resolve regulatory complications, and ensure timely delivery of high quality data.
You will constantly question and innovate on every aspect of data scaling to accelerate the company!

How we're different
Build believes in the Bitter Lesson. By taking a general approach of learning from humans, our addressable market is all physical labor.
We are a fully in-person team in San Francisco (Financial District) and Shenzhen (Nanshan), and greatly value engineering skills. We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both and work across disciplines as needed.
