📋 Description

• Designing and delivering backend features in the Kernel execution engine that improve correctness, performance, and reliability for customer model runs at scale. • Strengthening a clean, modular Kernel architecture that is easy to understand, test, and safely evolve over time. • Building automated tests and observability for complex execution scenarios, enabling faster detection, diagnosis, and resolution of production issues. • Partnering with adjacent engineering teams to shape Kernel behaviour and interfaces, providing clear technical input and following through to delivery. • Owning work from design through rollout and monitoring, balancing immediate product needs with long-term system sustainability. • Demonstrating hx values by proactively identifying risks, collaborating constructively, and taking full accountability in a critical core-platform area.

🎯 Requirements

• Built and shipped backend systems in a polyglot production environment, working across languages such as Rust, Python, or C/C++, and choosing the right tool for the problem. • Either used Rust in production systems, or demonstrated strong systems experience in C/C++ or Python with clear evidence of learning and adopting new languages quickly (you will be upskilled in Rust if you're not familiar). • Delivered backend features where correctness, performance, and resource efficiency were critical, and improved systems based on real production behaviour. • Applied solid systems thinking around execution, concurrency, and memory or resource management in real-world backend services. • Designed and implemented effective testing and observability that made complex backend behaviour understandable, debuggable, and safe to evolve. • Owned work end-to-end from design through rollout, monitoring, and iteration, collaborating closely with peers and raising risks early.
