We're a team of engineers and data scientists driven by our mission to use reinforcement learning and probabilistic modeling to optimize military logistics and critical infrastructure, ensuring our customers get the best performance they can out of the resources. You make a real world impact where your code won't just optimize a shopping cart or a compute primitive. It will optimize supply chains for the U.S. military and prevent catastrophic failures in critical infrastructure. We do not use proprietary tooling or build systems and deployment pipelines. We build on modern, open standards you can apply in any space. You won't just own a slice of a service. You will own entire architectural domains-from API design and data modeling to deployment and monitoring strategies. You'll work directly with PhD-level data scientists and former special operators. We value high-velocity decision-making over "approval chains." The Role You know how to operate at scale. You live by ownership and bias for action. But working within the confines of a massive company or cloud provider, your scope is often limited to a single service, proprietary internal tooling, and endless operational reviews. This is a "0 to 1" role. We don't need you to maintain a legacy service with 10 years of tech debt. We need you to architect the core platform that ingests, processes, and acts on billions of data points from the physical world. It's an opportunity to escape the service team grind., * Tagup AI Agent: Optimize complex NL queries and time-series data storage to ensure sub-second latency for our AI models. * Core Architecture: Design and implement high-performance REST APIs and microservices that power the Manifest platform. * Data Ingestion at Scale: Build the "nervous system" of our platform-robust ETL pipelines that ingest high-frequency sensor data from diverse industrial assets. * Operational Excellence: Bring your "Bar Raiser" mentality to our infrastructure. Implement sophisticated monitoring, alarming, and automated CI/CD pipelines to ensure 99.99% availability without the bureaucracy. ## Related Videos - [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) - [Intro to FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/462-intro-to-fastapi) - [Advanced Typing in TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/496-advanced-typing-in-typescript) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [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) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers)
