Partly - Staff/Senior Staff Software Engineer, Austin
Requirements
• Typically 6+ years building and operating complex production systems, with several of those spent at a level where your influence reached well beyond the code you personally wrote. • A track record of owning systems across team boundaries, you've been accountable for something important, not just a contributor to it. • owning systems across team boundaries • Firmly grounded fundamentals: data structures, concurrency, distributed systems, architecture, API design, testing, and the judgment to know which patterns to leave out. • Strong instincts for data modelling (relational and NoSQL) and clear views on when a model is wrong. • Experience building reliable, fault-tolerant distributed systems, including taking something from startup-grade to properly dependable at scale. • Excellent written communication. At this level the design doc is the work. • You make the engineers around you better, deliberately. • Our stack is Rust on the backend, TypeScript and React on the front end, Postgres, and GCP. We care far more about how you think than which tools you've used, strong engineers pick up new languages quickly, and plenty of ours learned Rust here. • Our stack • Bonus • Experience in automotive, parts, logistics or supply chain • Experience building or operating ML/AI systems in production • Please note: if you don't have all the skills or experience listed above but believe you could be outstanding in this role, please still consider applying. Many people count themselves out. We'd love the chance to learn more about you and why you're exceptional. • Please note
Responsibilities
• Own mission-critical systems end to end, design, build, operate. Our SaaS platform and public API sit in the middle of real commercial transactions. When they're slow or wrong, vehicles don't get repaired. • Own mission-critical systems end to end • Set technical direction beyond your own team. You'll lead architecture across services and teams, and make the reliability, consistency and performance trade-offs that come with it, then write it down clearly enough that others can build on it. • Set technical direction beyond your own team. • Direct the work. You'll break ambiguous problems into scope a team can execute, review designs, and hold the bar on what ships. Technical leadership without line management. • Direct the work. • Solve problems at the scale of the domain. millions of parts, vehicle configurations, markets and languages, and the fitment relationships between all of them. Getting this model right is the product, and nobody has done it properly before. • Solve problems at the scale of the domain. • Build the platform Interpreter runs on. Serving a frontier model to thousands of businesses across the repair supply chain makes latency, cost, evaluation and correctness first-class engineering problems. • Build the platform Interpreter runs on. • Work across the stack. Deep backend and data work most of the time, and the product surfaces our customers actually touch when that's where the problem is. You'll follow problems wherever they lead. • Work across the stack. • Raise the engineering bar: design review, mentoring, pragmatic standards, and code that teaches people something. • Raise the engineering bar • Become one of the few people in the world who deeply understands this domain. A $2tn market, structurally under-served, and almost entirely unmodelled. • Become one of the few people in the world who deeply understands this domain.
