About the Role
Join a platform engineering team at a technology company building large-scale data and retrieval systems. You will design and operate the cloud infrastructure, storage, and data pipelines that support reliable, high-throughput services.
What You'll Do
Design and operate data and infrastructure platforms for petabyte-scale ingestion into object storage, databases, and vector stores.
Make architectural tradeoffs across hot and cold storage, distributed databases, and high-throughput messaging and streaming systems.
Deploy and scale containerized services across environments using declarative configuration and GitOps workflows.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and developer tooling for safe, frequent releases.
Help operate compliant federal or regulated environments, with a focus on security, auditability, and reliability.
Troubleshoot and tune systems across application code, storage, and networking, and mentor engineers through reviews and technical guidance.
What We're Looking For
Five or more years of software engineering experience building and maintaining production systems, with roughly five to ten years of overall experience.
Hands-on experience with AWS production workloads, distributed systems, and large-scale data storage and retrieval, including hot and cold storage.
A strong DevOps foundation, including CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and automated deployments.
Experience owning production systems end to end, building data pipelines, and operating containerized services on orchestration platforms.
Backend or distributed systems experience in addition to any front-end development experience.
Relevant technologies include Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Kafka, S3, vector databases, ArgoCD, and Helm.
Experience in FedRAMP, federal, or other regulated environments is beneficial.
