• Build internal tools that reduce repetitive manual work for team members.
• Set and uphold engineering standards for infrastructure work across the team.

What we're looking for

• 3 to 7 years of production software experience.
• Working familiarity with large-scale software systems that handle heavy traffic and data movement.
• A track record of taking projects from requirements through implementation and release.
• Sound engineering judgment and the ability to investigate unfamiliar parts of a codebase.
• High standards for engineering practice and a high degree of personal agency.

Bonus points

• Background in automating AI-driven tasks, serving models in production or building model quality testing tools.
• Side projects that show initiative and hands-on problem solving.
