ABOUT THE ROLE
Join the platform engineering team at an AI product studio and help build the foundation for reliable, high-performing AI products. You will shape how data, streaming responses, and language model requests move through production systems, helping the platform stay dependable as usage grows.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Integrate AI products with external data sources and multiple systems, handling rich context and real-time data flows.
- Route streaming responses and language model requests across providers, using fallback and cost logic to maintain correctness under production load.
- Monitor latency distributions, costs, and error rates, then act proactively to prevent system degradation.
- Make architectural decisions that improve reliability and performance while keeping systems simple and maintainable.
- Build and improve instrumentation and observability to identify missing signals and investigate complex production issues.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 3 years of production backend engineering experience, including 3 or more years working with TypeScript.
- Experience owning production platform foundations and improving reliability and performance under real-world load.
- Production experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
- Strong system design skills, including the ability to reason about performance, latency, and cost trade-offs.
- Solid knowledge of PostgreSQL, APIs, queues, and caching.
- Experience with instrumentation, observability, and root-cause analysis; familiarity with streaming responses or language model request routing is valuable.
- Comfort contributing to frontend code when needed.
