Requirements

• 3+ years building and scaling production systems. Strong across backend fundamentals (services, data models, distributed systems), with deeper expertise in one or more areas — and a desire to keep expanding your breadth over time. • Genuine excitement to build quickly & ship fast. We care about getting things into users' hands and iterating from there. • Experience with cloud infrastructure, containerization, and CI/CD. Familiarity with AWS/GCP, containerization (Docker/K8s), and CI/CD pipelines. • TECHNICAL AREAS WHERE DEPTH MATTERS (ONE OR MORE) • Data Engineering: Spark, Kafka, Flink, BigQuery, streaming pipelines, ETL at scale. • Distributed Systems: High-volume scaling, fault tolerance, eventual consistency. • AI/ML: LLMs in production, RAG, embeddings, fine-tuning, inference optimization. • Backend: Python, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, high-concurrency systems.

Responsibilities

• Architect & build core systems. Drive key decisions across our stack and own feature development end-to-end. • Integrate AI into real-world workflows. Put LLMs and ML models into production for real workflows: RAG pipelines, embeddings, prompt execution, agentic systems, fine-tuned models. • Design systems that scale. Build systems that will hold up as we grow 10x, while being practical about what to invest in now vs. what can wait. • Develop performant APIs and services. Create robust interfaces and internal services that power our product end-to-end, ensuring reliability, security, and a seamless experience for customers.
