The company focuses on industries like media, finance, and government to safeguard against AI-generated threats.

📋 Description

• Design, build, and operate large-scale data processing pipelines handling multi-terabyte and streaming datasets, including audio/video transcoding, feature extraction, and preprocessing workflows. • Deploy, scale, and troubleshoot containerized workloads on Kubernetes and AWS in production environments. • Build and maintain distributed data processing jobs using frameworks such as Spark and Ray. • Design and operate workflow orchestration systems (e.g., Airflow) with dependency management, retries, monitoring, and alerting for production pipelines. • Administer and tune enterprise databases, including performance tuning, backup/recovery, access control, and scaling strategies. • Partner with ML engineers and researchers to support training pipelines, model retraining triggers, feature stores, and other MLOps workflows.
