## About the Role

You are an experienced software engineer who thrives on building large-scale computing platforms. You have deep expertise in large scale distributed systems that deal with high complexity, a lot of traffic and data. You know how to achieve reliability and scale with minimum operational load., * 5+ years experience building distributed compute and orchestration platforms in Python or Rust

 * Strong understanding of distributed systems fundamentals: consensus, scheduling, fault tolerance, capacity planning
 * Deep understanding of computational complexity and memory allocation
 * Track record of designing systems that scale under real production load
 * Experience building and using observability to drive performance and reliability decisions
 * Excellent communication and ability to drive technical decisions across teams
 * Self-starter who executes quickly, takes ownership, and constantly seeks improvement, * Experience with AI/ML inference or training infrastructure
 * Experience with high-performance systems programming (async runtimes, zero-copy, memory-safe concurrency)
 * Background in building multi-tenant compute platforms
 * Understanding of networking fundamentals and performance characteristics
 * Familiarity with GPU workload characteristics and scheduling constraints

## Description

* Build our core Python/Rust platform: request routing, AI workload orchestration, scheduling, GPU autoscaling, large scale file storage, queueing, etc
 * Produce forward designs for platform evolution as we scale to 100x current traffic and need to provide low latency across the world
 * Leverage AI to an extreme level to automate the mundane parts of building complex but reliable systems
 * Profile and tune low level CPU and memory performance
