• Support AI/ML model deployment and inference pipelines, ensuring scalability and reliability.
• Assist in developing data pipelines for feature engineering and ML training using Apache Spark, Kafka, or Flink.
• Monitor AI workloads and improve observability for ML models using MLflow, DataDog, or Prometheus.
• Work with AI/ML engineers to optimize cloud infrastructure for LLM workloads.

Core Platform & Infrastructure Engineering

• Design, implement, and optimize cloud infrastructure using AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Terragrunt).
• Develop and maintain internal developer platforms, authentication services, and API gateways.

Frontend Development (Occasional)

• Contribute to internal tools and dashboards using React, TypeScript, and modern frontend frameworks.
• Build UI components for developer experience, system monitoring, and admin workflows.
• Ensure APIs and frontend systems integrate efficiently.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Deep knowledge of backend development, API design, and microservices architecture.
• Experience with PostgreSQL, AWS RDS, and ElasticSearch for data management and optimization.
• 4+ years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, or infrastructure automation.
• Strong experience with cloud computing platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud).
• Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Terraform, Pulumi, or Terragrunt.
• Proficiency in Python, Bash, or other scripting languages for automation.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines using BuildKite, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar tools.
• Understanding of observability and monitoring using DataDog, FluentBit, OpenTelemetry, or Prometheus.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with a problem-solving mindset.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in frontend development with React, TypeScript, and modern UI frameworks.
• Exposure to MLOps, LLMOps, and AI model deployment tools (SageMaker, TensorFlow Serving, Triton Inference Server).
• Familiarity with feature stores (Feast, Tecton) and real-time AI pipelines.
• Experience with high-throughput streaming data architectures (Kafka, Flink, Spark).
• Security-first mindset, with experience in designing HIPAA-compliant AI/ML systems

Why Join Us?
