The people who thrive here are builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and our company. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
•
Move with Urgency: We move quickly, make thoughtful decisions, and keep momentum. We value action over perfection and learn by shipping.
•
Take Ownership: We own outcomes, not just our individual work. We make decisions that move the company forward and follow through.
•
Communicate Openly: We communicate directly, seek to understand, and create clarity for others. Honest conversations help us move faster together.
•
Build Great Teams: We lead by example, empower others, and create healthy teams where people can do their best work.
•
Raise the Bar: We’re always improving ourselves. We learn from feedback, consistently challenge ourselves to grow, and focus on the work that matters most.
•
Think Long-Term: We design for what’s next. We create scalable systems, simplify complexity, and use AI and automation to amplify our impact.
We are seeking an experienced Platform Engineer to partner directly with Lightning customers to architect, build, and deploy production AI systems. Working alongside customer engineering teams, you’ll solve complex technical challenges across inference infrastructure, distributed systems, APIs, and AI workflows—building reliable, observable systems that perform at scale. You’ll translate customer requirements into production-ready software, turn bespoke solutions into reusable platform capabilities, and help shape the evolution of the Lightning Platform.
We’re looking for a highly technical, customer-oriented platform engineer who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where success requires deep software engineering expertise, sound systems thinking, and the ability to collaborate directly with customer engineering teams to bring complex AI applications into production.
This role is based in one of our hubs (New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, or London), with a minimum of 2 in-office days per week and occasional team and company offsites.
