  • Build and maintain databases, task orchestration, workload scheduling, and cloud deployments.
  • Improve distributed systems by addressing latency, reliability, and scaling challenges as workload volume grows.
  • Join the on-call rotation and take end-to-end responsibility for platform health.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 5 years of platform or backend engineering experience, including work with distributed systems.
  • Strong Python skills, or deep Go or Rust expertise and willingness to work in Python.
  • Experience building and scaling infrastructure, task orchestration, and reliable production platforms.
  • Application-level engineering experience in addition to infrastructure work.
  • Experience with on-call support, cloud infrastructure, and ideally model-serving optimization.
  • Background working in a startup or other fast-moving engineering environment, with experience owning systems in production.
