## Description

As a Software Engineer in Infrastructure, you will build and operate the core systems that power Boltz Lab and enable scientists worldwide to run large-scale molecular modeling and design workflows. Your primary responsibility will be to design, implement, and maintain reliable, scalable backend and infrastructure components that support ML inference, data pipelines, and product features. You will work closely with ML researchers, product engineers, and scientists to turn cutting-edge models into dependable, production-grade services. This includes building APIs, scaling inference workloads, evolving data ingestion and storage pipelines, and ensuring the platform meets real-world requirements around performance, reliability, and cost. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning foundational systems end-to-end, thrives on ambiguity, and is motivated by building infrastructure that directly impacts real scientific and experimental outcomes.
