You’ll partner closely with ML teams to operate modern ML/AI pipelines, strengthen our MLOps layer, and push our platform forward.

• Continuously improve systems, tooling, and processes to reduce complexity and friction

Qualifications:
• 5+ years building and operating software systems from inception to release to maintenance
• Experience leading complex cross-team engineering efforts and designing scalable platform services
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and automation
• Comfortable reducing complexity and building systems that last
• Thrives in a remote, collaborative environment (async, clear communication, ownership)
• Hands-on experience with one or more major cloud providers: AWS, GCP, or Azure
• Familiar with or open to using: Python, Temporal.io, Terraform, Kubernetes (we care more about engineering skill than specific tools)

Unfortunately, we are unable to consider applications from candidates based outside of these locations due to operational and regulatory requirements
