📋 Description

• Design and build the backend services (primarily Go, Java, and Python) that run AI and model inference on real-time data. • Own features end to end — drafting the design, aligning stakeholders inside and outside the team, and driving the decision to a conclusion. • Make the technical calls on systems that span teams: model lifecycle, inference routing, and agent execution. • Own the quality of what you ship — code, test coverage, documentation, operability, and rollout safety. This is production infrastructure serving live inference, so reliability isn't an afterthought. • Make the engineers around you better through code review, design feedback, and being someone the team trusts with ambiguous, cross-cutting work. • Participate in on-call for the services your team owns, and help keep the team's processes and rituals healthy.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of significant experience designing, building, and operating distributed systems or cloud-native backend infrastructure in production • Strong working knowledge of Kubernetes and distributed-systems patterns (control loops, API servers, high-scale control planes), plus the fundamentals — containerization, networking, resource isolation. • Proficiency in at least one of Go, Java, or Python, and the willingness to work across all three. • A track record of leading cross-team technical work: turning ambiguous requirements into designs others can rally behind. • Excellent written and verbal communication — you can write a design doc that aligns people who don't report to you.
