Job summary

Desert Ant Labs is seeking a backend services engineer to write, host, and run the services behind our models—from storage and delivery to CI and on customers’ servers. You’ll work with the engineering team to keep the ecosystem fast, reliable, and portable across providers, cloud platforms, and devices.

You’ll build CI for SDK and model releases (macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, web), deploy containers and serverless components, and set up our own servers and monitoring.

Qualifications

• Have written backend services and kept them running in production.
• Know at least one cloud deeply, like Scaleway, AWS, Google Cloud, or another provider, and keep what you build portable to another one.
• Have set up Linux servers from scratch, physical or managed: installs, users and permissions, SSH, firewalls, and updates.
• Have built CI and release pipelines that other engineers trust, including macOS and Windows builds.

Responsibilities

• Write and run the services that store and deliver model files, so every download is fast and verified.
• Write and run the service that receives the SDKs' daily usage counts, and keep it private and cheap to run.
• Write the internal tools and small services the team asks for, and maintain them after they ship: updates, fixes, and tests.
• Build and keep up CI for every SDK and model release: macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and the web.
• Package and deploy our models for servers: containers, serverless functions, and the inference hosts customers pick.
• Set up our own servers from scratch: operating system installs, users and permissions, networking, and updates.
• Keep our websites and internal tools running: deploys, DNS, access, secrets, and monitoring.
• Work with the research team on the path from a trained model to a published release.
