Gather AI - Platform Engineer

• Distributed Systems: Mastery of performance-sensitive REST APIs, caching strategies, and core distributed systems concepts • Relational Data Systems: Expert-level PostgreSQL (upgrades, query tuning, replication tradeoffs, and schema evolution) and advanced SQL • Cloud & Containers: Deep experience with Azure and/or AWS and production-grade Kubernetes/Docker • Backend Development: Strong production experience in Node.js and/or Python • Reliability & Security: Hands-on experience with Observability (logs, metrics, traces), CI/CD, SRE fundamentals (SLIs/SLOs), and security hygiene (IAM, secrets management) • Domain Expertise: Experience in logistics, warehouse systems, or robotics-adjacent platforms is a plus, but not required. We value your ability to apply sound architectural judgment to new problem spaces • Future Scale: If you have operated at a slightly smaller scale but can reason clearly about "what breaks next" (e.g., multi-regional architectures or advanced data governance), we will help you bridge that gap • Organizational Maturity: While we value experience driving org-wide standards, we don't expect perfection on day one. We look for the intent to elevate our shared practices as you build trust • AI-Ready: At Gather, we are at the leading edge of both applied classical ML and next-gen LLM/VLM AI.
