Join Us in Building the Future of Home Robotics

At Sunday, we're developing personal robots to reclaim the hours lost to repetitive tasks. We're focused on an ambitious goal to make generalized robots broadly accessible, enabling households to take back quality time.

If you are ready to apply your skills to the forefront of robotics innovation, we’d love to hear from you.

What to Expect

We're looking for a Data Annotations Lead to join our Data team and own the people side of data annotation.

This role is about building and leading a world class in-house data annotation team that is able to pivot quickly to any research experiment while delivering on quality, quantity, and variety when it comes to data.

You'll work in coordination with Machine Learning, Software engineering, and Data to define the framework and tools on which to build a data annotation team around. Your role is vital to ensuring our data annotators are aligned with the guidances for annotations and are upholding a culture of happiness.
