You'll be tasked with bringing Poly to life on web, shaping our cloud architecture to store files at breathtaking speed and scale, and improving our AI architecture to become the "search engine for your life". Specifically, in a platform engineer (web specialist) role, we are looking for the following concrete skills and prior experience * Core software design and architectural considerations in developing a full-stack application for file management, including reactivity (eg React, Vue), persistence, latency, data caching, interaction, and API. Experience with desktop web frameworks (Tauri, Electron) is highly encouraged. * Experience or significant enthusiasm for the Rust language, which comprises our entire stack from Front End to back. Our platform is based on a very large, robust shared library that is compiled on web, desktop, and cloud to create an unparalleled DevEx for building a product as complex as Poly. Poly's codebase is all welded metal, no glue. * Interest in data modeling, cache design, and local-first systems that require challenging fault tolerance and non-blocking bi-directional schemas. Ability to reason about runtime characteristics, state management, and risk-to-performance trade-offs. * In this role, experience with AI modeling or training is not required, though it is still highly desirable. * An extreme appetite for learning that you've honed through recursive self-improvement. You should be able to demonstrate an exceptional aptitude for automating your own development processes. * You thrive in independent, inter-disciplinary environments, and you are skilled at collaborating across domains and for productively engaging with people of all kinds. * You are willing to leave judgments about gender, race, creed, background, belief, or politics for outside of the workplace so that we can focus on building the world's best file storage platform for everyone. * You are capable of (and excited to) work in-person 5-days a week in SoMa, San Francisco ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Lessons learned from building a thriving Vue.js SaaS application](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1666-lessons-learned-from-building-a-thriving-vue-js-saas-application) - [Swapping Low Latency Data Storage Under High Load](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/746-swapping-low-latency-data-storage-under-high-load) - [Inside Bitpanda's Tech Stack: Scaling a European Fintech Leader - Markus Dorner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1979-inside-bitpanda-s-tech-stack-scaling-a-european-fintech-leader-markus-dorner) - [Common Mistakes in Vue.js and How to Avoid Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/958-common-mistakes-in-vue-js-and-how-to-avoid-them) - [ Project Fugu: Progressive Web Apps, Superpowered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/290-project-fugu-progressive-web-apps-superpowered) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 129 - Now that's what I call private data!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/468-dev-digest-129-now-that-s-what-i-call-private-data) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Dev Digest 118 - not a total recall](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/452-dev-digest-118-not-a-total-recall)
