We're hiring multiple engineers with complementary strengths across platform engineering and ML systems. No single person is expected to cover everything. Depth in one area, strong fundamentals, and the ability to collaborate effectively matter more than perfect overlap. Part of the work focuses on core platform engineering: designing and building services, evolving system architecture, improving reliability, resolving issues, and making sound trade-offs in areas such as database design and schema evolution. Another part focuses on ML systems: ensuring models run reliably, efficiently, and at scale, turning research into production-ready tools. This includes deploying, monitoring, and optimizing AI workloads using Python and solid software engineering practices., * Take-home challenge: A hands-on task to assess your problem-solving and technical skills * Combined technical and cultural interview (in-person) * Whiteboard Interview: 1-hour with 2 of our engineers to discuss your solution to the take-home challenge * Culture fit: 30-minute meeting with our leadership team Why Join Us? * Work on real-world problems where AI creates measurable impact. * Be part of a team where your work matters, and your ideas become real. * Collaborate with sharp, driven colleagues in a culture of trust, ownership, and high standards. * Contribute to making the built environment smarter and more sustainable. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Intro to FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/462-intro-to-fastapi) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Building and Deploying Multi-Agent Systems with ADK and Vertex AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1918-building-and-deploying-multi-agent-systems-with-adk-and-vertex-ai) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) ## Related Articles - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
