What We're Looking for

• Have 10+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on distributed systems, infrastructure, or data architecture.
• Are a Python expert—capable of building frameworks and performance-critical services from scratch.
• Have deep Kubernetes expertise; you can design, deploy, and debug at scale and could teach others how to productionize it securely.
• Are fluent in Postgres—you understand query planning, partitioning, and tuning for high-throughput environments.
• Are obsessed with clean, scalable architecture and can lead design reviews that shape how entire systems evolve.
• Have experience in high-performance data or AI/ML systems—especially those involving retrieval pipelines, embeddings, or hybrid workloads.
• Thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where technical depth and judgment matter more than process.
  
  

Bonus Points

• Experience building or scaling LLM-powered or RAG systems in production.
• Familiarity with open-source orchestration frameworks, vector databases, or hybrid cloud infrastructure.
• Contributions to open-source projects in Python, Kubernetes, or distributed systems.

Why You’ll Love It Here

You’ll be surrounded by smart, kind, low-ego people who genuinely enjoy building together. We invest in our team with company offsites, best-in-tech swag, and the tools you need to do your best work, wherever you’re based.

We support you holistically, not just at work. For full-time, US-based employees, that includes:

• Health: Medical, dental, and vision coverage through Justworks, effective the 1st of the month following your start date. All medical plans include fertility coverage, plus access to One Medical, Talkspace (12 free therapy sessions a year), Kindbody, and Teladoc. If you waive medical coverage, we pay a $250/month allowance.
• Financial: 401(k) with company match (100% of the first 3% you contribute, 50% of the next 2%), company-paid life insurance, and optional supplemental life, short- and long-term disability, accident, critical illness, and hospital coverage. FSA and HSA options available.
• Equity: Stock options, so you share in what we’re building.
• Time off: Flexible paid time off (unlimited), up to 80 hours of paid sick leave a year, 12 company holidays, and a company-wide winter break between Christmas and New Year’s.
• Family: 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all parents, available after 6 months, plus up to 6 additional unpaid weeks.
• Remote setup: A $500 home office stipend and a $75/month cell and internet stipend.
• Team: Team and company offsites throughout the year.

We want you focused on building, growing, and staying energized for the long haul. If you’re excited about what we’re building, we’d love to meet you.
