Tether. to is a leading digital asset company that pioneers the use of stablecoins in the blockchain space. As the most widely adopted stablecoin, Tether tokens are designed to be pegged 1-to-1 with fiat currencies, offering a stable digital asset option for users. The platform facilitates these token transactions across multiple blockchains, enhancing cross-border transactions while maintaining transparency with daily records of total assets and reserves. Tether's initiatives include educational programs promoting digital asset usage, especially targeting regions like the Middle East, Turkey, and the Philippines. Tether thus positions itself as a disruptor in the traditional financial system by enabling a stable, efficient method of handling transactions in the digital currency world.

📋 Description

• Architect, build, and operate scalable backend services for a media intelligence platform, with a focus on clean, maintainable, and production-ready systems. • Own critical backend components end to end, from system design and API contracts through implementation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration. • Drive architectural decisions across APIs, processing pipelines, distributed compute, storage, search, observability, cloud infrastructure, and model-serving workflows. • Design data models and storage patterns for media assets, generated metadata, embeddings, processing jobs, model outputs, search indexes, and audit trails. • Design high-throughput media ingestion and processing pipelines for large volumes of video, audio, image, and text content. • Build distributed, event-driven workflows for media processing using queues and pub/sub systems such as SQS, Kafka, Pub/Sub, or equivalent technologies. • Implement reliable asynchronous processing patterns, including retries, idempotency, dead-letter queues, backpressure handling, and fault-tolerant job execution. • Lead the development and optimization of metadata extraction, content analysis, scene detection, transcription, embedding generation, and multimodal AI inference workflows. • Integrate and optimize AI/ML services within backend workflows, including model APIs, embedding pipelines, OCR, speech-to-text, scene analysis, multimodal inference, batching, caching, and fallback strategies. • Collaborate with ML engineers, data scientists, or external model providers to benchmark models, compare quality/latency trade-offs, and safely roll out model upgrades.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. • 5-7+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally building scalable distributed systems, media platforms, data pipelines, or high-throughput backend services. • Prior experience owning major backend modules end to end, including architecture, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and production operations. • 3 + years of experience integrating AI/ML inference systems into backend workflows, including model APIs, embedding pipelines, OCR, speech-to-text, scene detection, or multimodal model outputs. • Hands-on experience creating AI-powered processing pipelines for image, video, audio, or text analysis. • Practical experience with production model optimization, especially for image, video, embedding, or multimodal models, including batching, caching, quantization, prompt optimization, routing strategies, latency reduction, and cost optimization. • Prior experience with vector search, semantic search, media retrieval, or similarity-matching systems is strongly preferred. • Experience mentoring engineers, leading technical discussions, and influencing architectural decisions across backend, infrastructure, and AI/ML workflows.
