 * Experience designing and operating distributed compute and data pipeline systems
 * Hands-on experience with orchestration tooling (Temporal, Kafka, or equivalent)
 * Strong systems thinking - you reason about performance, reliability, and scale from first principles

Strong Signals

 * Experience with CUDA kernels or GPU-accelerated compute
 * Understanding of AI inference optimization - model serving, quantization, batching, hardware utilization
 * Experience building model evaluation pipelines for computer vision, robotics, or ML teams
 * Familiarity with video codecs, compression pipelines, or object storage optimization
 * Experience in research-adjacent or AI infrastructure environments

You Are

 * A systems thinker who cares deeply about performance and correctness
 * Comfortable owning infrastructure end-to-end - from design to production
 * Rigorous about observability, reliability, and operational excellence
 * Energized by working at the boundary of infrastructure and cutting-edge AI
 * Able to collaborate effectively with ML, robotics, and data teams who depend on your systems

## Description

We're hiring a Software Engineer, Infrastructure & Data to design and build the backend systems and data pipelines that power Mecka's platform., Data Pipeline Engineering

 * Design and optimize end-to-end data pipelines for large-scale data ingestion, transformation, and delivery
 * Build for high throughput and low latency across the full data path - from capture to storage to consumption
 * Own reliability and observability across pipeline infrastructure

Distributed Compute

 * Architect and operate distributed compute systems for large-scale data processing workloads
 * Implement and maintain orchestration using tools like Temporal, Kafka, and similar systems
 * Build fault-tolerant, scalable pipelines that handle real-world operational load

AI Inference & Model Evaluation

 * Build continuous and large-scale model evaluation tooling for robotics, computer vision, and machine learning teams
 * Optimize systems for AI inference - latency, throughput, and resource efficiency
 * Work closely with ML and robotics teams to understand evaluation requirements and build the infrastructure to support them

Performance Optimization

 * Optimize systems at every level - compute, memory, I/O, and network
 * Contribute to CUDA kernel development and GPU-accelerated workloads where needed
 * Identify and eliminate bottlenecks across the data and compute stack
