Machinify - Staff Software Engineer | Platform Team
Requirements
• What matters most: • Systems thinking. You see how pieces connect. When something breaks, you reason about the whole system, not just the component in front of you. • Fearless code reading. You can drop into a large, unfamiliar codebase, build a mental model, and figure out what needs to change. • Empathy for users. Whether it's a developer using your framework or an operator reading your error messages, you design for the people downstream. • Testing discipline. You test thoroughly not because someone requires it, but because you've shipped enough software to know what happens when you don't. • Comfort with ambiguity. Our hardest problems don't come with specifications. You're energized, not paralyzed, by that. • Proficiency in JVM ecosystem (Java, Scala) • Experience with Rust highly desired • SQL and data processing (Spark or similar) • Distributed systems design • Observability and resilience engineering
Responsibilities
• Some or all of the following: • Dig into inherited Scala systems to find where the real problems are, separate symptoms from causes, and make them scale • Redesign the data layer our ML and AI products depend on — this is an open, hard problem • Build out a Rust framework that lets teams ship correct, performant services without reinventing fundamentals • Improve observability and resilience across the platform so we find problems before our customers do • Shape developer tooling and engineering standards — your work multiplies everyone else's effectiveness • Drive AI tool adoption across the company, figuring out what actually helps engineers work better • Work across the full stack: JVM (Java/Scala), Rust, Python, SQL, and Spark
