ABOUT THE ROLE
Join a platform engineering team at a technology company building large-scale data and retrieval systems. You will design and operate the cloud infrastructure, storage, and data pipelines that support reliable, high-throughput services.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design and operate data and infrastructure platforms for petabyte-scale ingestion into object storage, databases, and vector stores.
- Make architectural tradeoffs across hot and cold storage, distributed databases, and high-throughput messaging and streaming systems.
- Deploy and scale containerized services across environments using declarative configuration and GitOps workflows.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and developer tooling for safe, frequent releases.
- Help operate compliant federal or regulated environments, with a focus on security, auditability, and reliability.
- Troubleshoot and tune systems across application code, storage, and networking, and mentor engineers through reviews and technical guidance.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Five or more years of software engineering experience building and maintaining production systems, with roughly five to ten years of overall experience.
- Hands-on experience with AWS production workloads, distributed systems, and large-scale data storage and retrieval, including hot and cold storage.
- A strong DevOps foundation, including CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and automated deployments.
- Experience owning production systems end to end, building data pipelines, and operating containerized services on orchestration platforms.
- Backend or distributed systems experience in addition to any front-end development experience.
- Relevant technologies include Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Kafka, S3, vector databases, ArgoCD, and Helm.
- Experience in FedRAMP, federal, or other regulated environments is beneficial.
- Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Base salary: $175,000 to $220,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
