- Build and scale AI infrastructure, including vector databases, embedding pipelines, and orchestration of large language models.
- Architect systems supporting AI-powered features such as automated chat, content moderation, and recommendation engines.
- Establish engineering best practices, platform primitives, and internal tools to accelerate team velocity.
- Mentor and coach engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on collaboration.
- Contribute to long-term technical strategy, architectural decisions, and reliability improvements, including on-call participation.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of hands-on experience building, deploying, and scaling production-grade software systems.
- Proven expertise in distributed systems serving tens of millions of monthly active users.
- Deep technical proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, Go, and cloud-native architectures, ideally on AWS.
- Strong experience with PostgreSQL at scale, including query optimization, partitioning, and replication strategies.
- Solid background in service-oriented architectures, system decomposition patterns, and domain-driven design.
- Familiarity with AI and ML infrastructure, including vector databases, embeddings, and LLM APIs.
- Comfort using AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity and code quality.
- Excellent communication skills, mentorship mindset, and ability to translate complex concepts across technical and non-technical audiences.
Benefits:
- Competitive salary package aligned with senior technical leadership responsibilities.
- Fully remote work environment with flexible scheduling.
- Generous paid time off policy supporting work-life balance.
- Comprehensive healthcare and wellness benefits depending on location.
