Software Engineer - Cross-functional Systems

📋 Description

• Building and owning core software components, from prototype through production.
• Driving technical design, implementation, deployment, and launch of key systems and services.
• Developing infrastructure and tooling that supports internal development workflows (e.g., data pipelines, evaluation, experiment tooling).
• Integrating software across systems, ensuring reliability, performance, and observability.
• Establishing pragmatic engineering standards (testing, CI/CD, release processes, operational playbooks) that enable rapid iteration without sacrificing quality.
• Troubleshooting complex end-to-end issues across system boundaries and improving system debuggability.

🎯 Requirements

• Extreme agency: you identify the highest-leverage problems and move them forward with minimal direction.
• Creativity and a founder mentality: turning ambiguity into a concrete plan and shipping outcomes.
• Strong technical foundation and can make good architectural decisions under real constraints.
• A high bar for quality and details, especially around reliability, maintainability, and user/developer experience.
• Strong prioritization: you know when to go deep, when to simplify, and when to ship.
• Strong software engineering experience building and shipping production systems.
• Proficiency in at least one systems/product language (e.g., Python, C++, Rust, Go) and comfort learning new stacks.
• Experience designing APIs/services and working with distributed systems, performance, or reliability concerns.
• Track record of owning projects end-to-end: design → implementation → deployment → operations.
