About the role
We're building foundational models for general purpose manipulation. Our data infrastructure allows us to generate rich, multi-modal human demonstration data at exponential scale.
We are using this data to train general-purpose manipulation models that work reliably across tasks, objects, and robot embodiments. We are live in deployment across multiple verticals.
As Head of Indian Operations, you'll run our India operations end-to-end as the senior-most leader on the ground, with a direct line to the founders. You'll architect the highest quality robotics dataset in the world.
What you'll do:
Run our data generation facilities: throughput, quality, and team performance
Manage technical operations - data pipelines and infrastructure
Hire and lead both the ops team and technical talent as the team scales
Build the operating playbook for future facilities
Own logistics, vendors, and stakeholder relationships in India
You should have:
Experience leading operations teams and scaling them significantly
Comfort with technical workflows - able to work alongside engineers, not just manage around them
A history of competing - sports, business, anything where you pushed hard when it got difficult
Hacker and hustle mentality - you move fast and don't wait for permission
Our culture is built on honesty and willingness to fail fast. If you see yourself fitting here, please apply.

About Intelligence Factory
Robotics is the new paradigm. With hardware converging, Intelligence is the biggest bottleneck. Our world was built for humans and we're giving robots the ability to reason and act like us.
The way we learn any task - by seeing, doing, and feeling - is how we train robots. We're building general intelligence that works on any robot and fits seamlessly within our world.
