Job description

A software engineer on a partner platform typically builds integrations, APIs and tooling that let other companies connect to the product reliably. A strong candidate brings solid coding skills, comfort with external systems and interfaces, and care for clear documentation and debugging across boundaries. At a cloud inference company, that means making it easy for partners to deploy and serve AI models on the platform.

How it fits the AI era

AI shifts much of the routine integration and glue code toward generated drafts and automated checks, so the engineer spends more time on design, edge cases and trust with partners. The human parts stay central: understanding what a partner actually needs, judging tradeoffs, and owning reliability when models and traffic scale. This role sits close to where AI products meet other businesses, which is durable work.

How it builds AI experience

The role offers hands on exposure to deploying and serving open source and custom models, plus the integration patterns that make AI usable by partners. Building that experience means learning inference basics, API design and how to test systems that depend on models. Working alongside partner facing engineering at an inference platform is a practical way to grow it.

Worth showing

• API and integration design
• Python or Go coding
• Clear technical documentation
