Software Engineer, Distributed Systems

You are an experienced software engineer who thrives on building large-scale computing platforms. You have deep expertise in large scale distributed systems that deal with high complexity, a lot of traffic and data. You know how to achieve reliability and scale with minimum operational load.

Key responsibilities

• Build our core Python/Rust platform: request routing, AI workload orchestration, scheduling, GPU autoscaling, large scale file storage, queueing, etc


• Produce forward designs for platform evolution as we scale to 100x current traffic and need to provide low latency across the world


• Leverage AI to an extreme level to automate the mundane parts of building complex but reliable systems


• Profile and tune low level CPU and memory performance

Requirements

• 5+ years experience building distributed compute and orchestration platforms in Python or Rust


• Strong understanding of distributed systems fundamentals: consensus, scheduling, fault tolerance, capacity planning


• Deep understanding of computational complexity and memory allocation


• Track record of designing systems that scale under real production load


• Experience building and using observability to drive performance and reliability decisions


• Excellent communication and ability to drive technical decisions across teams


• Self-starter who executes quickly, takes ownership, and constantly seeks improvement

Nice to have

• Experience with AI/ML inference or training infrastructure


• Experience with high-performance systems programming (async runtimes, zero-copy, memory-safe concurrency)


• Background in building multi-tenant compute platforms


• Understanding of networking fundamentals and performance characteristics


• Familiarity with GPU workload characteristics and scheduling constraints
