We are recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing AI infrastructure company building a high-performance vector database and cloud platform used in semantic search, recommendation systems, and large-scale AI applications.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer – Platform to help design and build the core cloud platform that enables engineering teams to deploy and operate distributed systems reliably at scale.

This is a platform engineering role focused on architecture, shared services, and internal developer infrastructure—not day-to-day operations or application features.

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will design and evolve core services, control-plane components, and internal APIs that power a managed cloud offering and enterprise deployments.

You will work closely with multiple engineering teams to build platform primitives and abstractions that improve scalability, reliability, and developer productivity.

• Design and build core platform services and shared infrastructure

• Develop and maintain internal APIs and platform components used across engineering teams

• Drive architectural initiatives such as:

  • Service architecture improvements

  • Event-driven systems and messaging foundations

  • Platform refactoring and modernization

• Build abstractions that reduce operational complexity and cognitive load for developers

• Improve platform scalability, reliability, and performance

• Write production-grade code in Go and related backend technologies

• Collaborate with distributed systems, infrastructure, and feature teams

• Participate in incident response when needed, focusing on long-term reliability improvements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience in:

  • Platform engineering

  • Infrastructure or distributed systems

• Strong experience with Go and/or Python

• Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native architectures

• Solid understanding of:

  • Distributed systems

  • API design

  • Production systems at scale

• Experience building internal platforms or services used by other engineering teams

• Strong collaboration and communication skills

• Experience with:

  • gRPC or service-to-service communication frameworks

  • Event-driven architectures or pub/sub systems

  • Control-plane or orchestration systems

• Familiarity with Kubernetes operators or cluster-level abstractions

• Background in SaaS, database, or infrastructure products

• Experience with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry

• Contributions to open-source projects

• Competitive compensation and benefits

• Fully remote work environment

• High-impact role with strong ownership and architectural influence

• Opportunity to work on core infrastructure powering modern AI systems

• Clear growth path toward Staff Engineer or Architecture roles

If this role sounds like a good fit, please apply with your resume.
