Zusammenfassung

fal is building a large-scale distributed platform for generative media, handling high traffic with reliable orchestration and observability. As a software engineer, you will contribute to the core Python and Rust platform, focusing on request routing, AI workload scheduling, and GPU autoscaling to support global production workloads.

You will design scalable systems, profile performance, and leverage AI to automate routine engineering tasks.

Qualifikationen

• 5+ years experience building distributed compute and orchestration platforms in Python or Rust.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems fundamentals: consensus, scheduling, fault tolerance, capacity planning.
• Deep understanding of computational complexity and memory allocation.
• Track record of designing systems that scale under real production load.
• Experience building and using observability to drive performance and reliability decisions.
• Excellent communication and ability to drive technical decisions across teams.
• Self-starter who executes quickly, takes ownership, and constantly seeks improvement.

Aufgaben

• Build our core Python/Rust platform: request routing, AI workload orchestration, scheduling, GPU autoscaling, large scale file storage, queueing, etc
• Produce forward designs for platform evolution as we scale to 100x current traffic and need to provide low latency across the world
• Leverage AI to an extreme level to automate the mundane parts of building complex but reliable systems
• Profile and tune low level CPU and memory performance
