Real-world training data for frontier AI labs and robotics.
We need one person to own Hub's ground operation in São Paulo. Contributors and businesses across your territory record real data for us every day. Your job is to keep that engine running: phones deployed, recordings flowing, blockers cleared before they cost us a single hour.
What is Hub? We are a real world data company. AI and robots learn how humans actually live from data that does not exist online: how people move, use their hands, and get things done. Real people capture it on a phone mounted on a headstrap. We turn it into the training data that top AI labs and robotics companies rely on. Backed by Y Combinator.
The Brazil operation is where a lot of that data gets made. Contributors and local businesses record every day across São Paulo. It is growing fast, and it needs someone on the ground keeping it healthy. That someone is you.
A phone that stops recording is data we lose. A business with bad internet is a deadline at risk. A contributor stuck on a problem is money left on the table.
Keeping the São Paulo operation healthy is a full time job that nobody owns yet. That is the role. You are Hub's person on the ground, the human link between our operation and the people producing the data. You work directly with Pedro, who runs Brazil operations.
This role is built to grow. You start by doing the dirty work yourself and learning the operation by hand. You turn what works into a process that can be copy pasted, a system another operator could pick up and run. Then you help build the team to run it across Brazil at scale.
You own the full lifecycle of every business in your territory, end to end. Auto shops, manual labor businesses, workplaces of every kind.
Receive or close a newly signed business → prepare and account for every kit → deploy onsite → train the workers → verify the first accepted recordings → improve → reach stable weekly production → then repeat at the next business.
That loop is the job, and it moves fast. These are the numbers on you:
This role moves fast. You own real sites within your first week, not your second month.
Week 1. Into the field immediately. Set up your own kit, shadow a live deployment, and take the keys to your first businesses. You learn by doing, at pace.
Weeks 2 to 3. You are running your own sites now. Deploying kits, training workers, chasing the first verified hours, clearing every blocker between a signed business and stable production.
Week 4. Every site you own is producing verified hours on a weekly rhythm. You know your numbers cold, stalled sites are back online, and you are already onboarding the next businesses.
We hire on drive, not resume. One thing matters most: you are hungry, young, and motivated enough to own an operation with little hand holding.
You like working outside. Past experience in small businesses or hands on jobs means you will feel at home.
Not for you if you want a predictable desk job, a fixed nine to five, or a script handed to you each morning.
Perfect for you if your ideal week is being in the field, meeting people, solving five problems before lunch, and watching a number you own climb because of you.
Short form, about fifteen minutes. We read every answer. Be specific, tell real stories, be honest. "Here is exactly what I did and what happened" beats "I am a hard worker" every time.

Hub is a multimodal data lab for physical AI. We capture how humans actually move through the world: first-person video of everyday tasks, hands, homes, and environments, and turn it into the original training data that physical AI and robotics companies need and cannot get from the web.
Robots can't learn the physical world from the internet, because the internet never captured it. How a hand opens a jar, how a body moves through a kitchen, how a task actually unfolds: none of it exists as training data until a real person records it first-person. Hub is the pipeline that brings it in: not annotation, not scraping, not synthetic data. Original data, created end to end.
Headquartered in San Francisco and backed by Y Combinator (P26) with $2M raised, Hub's distributed contributor network spans hundreds of thousands of people across 150+ countries and 100+ languages. Contributors record original egocentric (first-person) video through our own platform, HubApp, verified through human-in-the-loop QA before delivery. We work directly with frontier AI labs, Fortune 500 companies, and top robotics companies, scaling multiple 7 to 8 figure contracts, to scope, collect, and deliver custom real-world datasets from scratch.
We're a small, fast-moving, deeply technical team of builders, data scientists, and ML engineers advancing embodied AGI through real-world data and research, solving the data ceiling that's become a critical bottleneck for physical AI. If you want to build the infrastructure that brings humanity's lived experience to the frontier of AI, we want to hear from you.
