What Youâll Do
As a Senior Software Engineer, youâll work at the intersection of software engineering and machine learning operations.
This role is intentionally broad. Weâre hiring multiple engineers with complementary strengths across platform engineering and ML systems. No single person is expected to cover everything. Depth in one area, strong fundamentals, and the ability to collaborate effectively matter more than perfect overlap.
Part of the work focuses on core platform engineering: designing and building services, evolving system architecture, improving reliability, resolving issues, and making sound trade-offs in areas such as database design and schema evolution.
Another part focuses on ML systems: ensuring models run reliably, efficiently, and at scale, turning research into production-ready tools. This includes deploying, monitoring, and optimizing AI workloads using Python and solid software engineering practices.
