Responsibilities
•
Design and implement scalable backend services, data pipelines, and APIs
•
Build infrastructure for high-throughput, low-latency AI/ML workflows
•
Set up and manage databases (SQL/NoSQL), including schema design, replication, indexing, and performance optimization
•
Optimize for performance, reliability, and security at every layer
•
Implement observability best practices (logging, tracing, monitoring, performance tuning)
•
Work closely with research and infra teams to support experimental velocity
•
Contribute to core engineering culture, including code reviews and mentorship
Requirements
•
3+ years building distributed systems or high-availability backends (preferably in fast-moving or high-stakes environments)
