In Office Principal NA Cloud Computing Artificial Intelligence Principal Principal Engineer Python Kubernetes Vector

Requirements

• Have 10+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on distributed systems, infrastructure, or data architecture. • Are a Python expert—capable of building frameworks and performance-critical services from scratch. • Have deep Kubernetes expertise; you can design, deploy, and debug at scale and could teach others how to productionize it securely. • Are fluent in Postgres—you understand query planning, partitioning, and tuning for high-throughput environments. • Are obsessed with clean, scalable architecture and can lead design reviews that shape how entire systems evolve. • Have experience in high-performance data or AI/ML systems—especially those involving retrieval pipelines, embeddings, or hybrid workloads. • Thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where technical depth and judgment matter more than process. • Experience building or scaling LLM-powered or RAG systems in production. • Familiarity with open-source orchestration frameworks, vector databases, or hybrid cloud infrastructure. • Contributions to open-source projects in Python, Kubernetes, or distributed systems.

Benefits

• You’ll be surrounded by smart, kind, low-ego people who genuinely enjoy building together. We invest in our team, with company offsites, best-in-tech swag, and the tools you need to do your best work, wherever you’re based. • The work itself is deeply meaningful. You’ll be at the center of some of the most exciting problems in AI today - tackling meaty, novel technical challenges that directly power real production systems used by thousands of companies, including nearly half of the Fortune 500. • We support you holistically, not just at work. From day-one medical, dental, and vision coverage (plus life and disability insurance), to unlimited PTO, flexible parental leave, 401(k) options, and competitive referral incentives, we want you focused on building, growing, and staying energized for the long haul. • Most importantly, we’re scaling fast. This is a chance to join early enough to build foundational technology, influence how we operate, and help shape the future of a company defining the next era of AI infrastructure. • If that sounds like your kind of team, we’d love to meet you.
