Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We design and operate large-scale data capture, data labeling, and hardware deployment systems that generate high-quality datasets for leading AI and robotics teams. Our work spans hardware, operations, research, and customer delivery — and execution across these functions is critical.
Robotics will become the largest industry in human history — larger than anything that has come before it. As intelligent machines move into the physical world, they will dramatically expand global GDP, raise the material standard of living for everyone, and ultimately help make humanity a multiplanetary civilization. None of that happens without one thing: enormous amounts of high-quality, real-world data.
Mecka AI builds that foundation. We are the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI — the substrate that teaches machines to perceive, reason, and act in reality. Get this right, and we accelerate the most important technological transition of our time.
Excellence as the baseline. We hold an extremely high bar and expect the best work of your career. Mediocrity isn't interesting to us.
Highly technical. We reason from first principles, not by analogy. The best argument wins — regardless of title or tenure.
Truth-seeking. We are relentlessly honest with ourselves and each other. We chase reality — measured, not assumed — and kill our own bad ideas fast.
Maniacal urgency. The work matters and the clock is real. We move fast, ship, measure, and iterate.
Extreme ownership. You own outcomes end-to-end — no hand-offs, no excuses, no waiting for permission.
Hardcore. This is a high-intensity environment for people who want to do the defining work of their lives.
We’re hiring a Data Operations Manager based in Toronto to work directly with Mecka’s founders and core teams.
This is a high-ownership operator role. You will be given ambiguous problems and expected to own them end-to-end — from scoping and coordination to execution and delivery.
At different times, this role will look like:
A project manager driving timelines
An operations lead coordinating execution
A point person managing internal and customer communication
The constant is ownership and follow-through.
Own projects that cut across:
Take loosely defined tasks and turn them into clear execution plans
Drive work forward across multiple teams simultaneously
Plan timelines, milestones, and deliverables
Track progress, risks, and dependencies
Ensure projects ship on time and meet quality expectations
Step in to unblock teams and resolve issues as they arise
Act as a central point of communication between:
Internal teams (ops, hardware, engineering, research)
External customers and partners
Provide clear updates on status, risks, and timelines
Ensure alignment across stakeholders
Support day-to-day operations across labeling, capture, and hardware
Identify gaps in processes and help improve them
Create lightweight documentation, trackers, and workflows
Help founders stay out of the weeds by owning execution
4+ years of experience in operations, program management, or project management
Experience working across multiple functions and teams
Strong organizational and communication skills
Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
Proven ability to take ownership and deliver end-to-end
Highly accountable and execution-driven
Comfortable context-switching between projects
Clear, concise communicator with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Organized without being bureaucratic
Able to manage both details and the big picture
Experience in AI, robotics, hardware, or data operations
Familiarity with data labeling or data capture workflows
Experience working directly with founders or leadership
Experience managing external customers or partners
Work directly with founders on high-impact initiatives
Gain exposure across operations, hardware, data, and customer delivery
High autonomy and trust from day one
Opportunity to grow into broader leadership as the company scales
Direct impact on how Mecka executes and delivers for customers
Compensation Range: CA$100K - CA$140K
