The systems you build will transform unstructured information into reliable insights that directly impact the outcomes of real people’s lives. You’ll work at the intersection of large-scale backend engineering and cutting-edge AI, helping us scale our platform to meet hypergrowth demand while expanding the boundaries of what’s possible with LLMs.

• Platform Engineering for LLMs: Design and maintain a platform that enables data scientists to embed, deploy, and run LLMs in production.
• Model Ops Support: Build tools for data scientists to benchmark, evaluate, and back-test LLM models efficiently.
• Tech Evolution: Continuously evolve our backend and platform infrastructure to make it more reliable, scalable, and developer-friendly.

What We Are Looking For

• 3+ years of experience building and scaling backend or distributed systems.
• Practical expertise in performance optimization, scalability, and high-availability systems.
• Strong foundation in system stability, reliability, and observability.
• Proven track record of shipping production-ready software and owning projects end-to-end.
• Excellent communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and translating requirements into scalable solutions.

Nice to Have

• Fluency in Python, Temporal, and GraphQL.
• Experience deploying or operating ML/LLM models in production, including observability and evaluation workflows.
