Requirements
- 8 + years of experience building high-quality production software (Python preferred).
- Demonstrated experience architecting and delivering asynchronous, high-throughput, distributed systems in production.
- Strong expertise with FastAPI, Django, asyncio (or similar frameworks) in Python.
- Proficiency with NodeJS, React, Typescript and/or Express (or equivalent) — with the ability to evaluate when to use which stack and to mentor others.
- Deep knowledge of SQL and real-time or near-real-time distributed data processing systems (e.g., RabbitMQ, SNS, SQS, Kafka).
- Strong cloud experience (AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure) and familiarity with DevOps practices, infrastructure as code, monitoring/observability, CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience working with foundational LLMs (large language models) and understanding of the various approaches to maximizing their efficiency and reliability.
Responsibilities
- Define and drive the technical vision for one or more core platforms or domains, including architecture, infrastructure, tooling, and performance.
- Design, develop, and maintain software applications that leverage foundational LLMs and are built with high performance, scalability, resilience, and observability in mind.
- Lead cross-functional initiatives: collaborate with data scientists, product managers, other engineering teams, and infrastructure/DevOps to translate business strategy into scalable, technical roadmaps.
- Serve as a technical mentor and coach: influence coding practices, meet quality standards, perform deep code reviews, share knowledge, and raise the bar for engineering excellence.
- Actively drive architectural design and trade-off decisions, balancing fast iteration and long-term maintainability. You will gain buy-in from senior stakeholders across the organization and ensure alignment on strategic initiatives.
- Own operational excellence: troubleshooting, debugging, and resolving issues across the entire stack; lead the on-call rotation; define and measure reliability metrics (SLA/SLO/SLI) and lead post-mortem follow-ups.
- Evangelize best practices: proactively identify technical debt, propose improvement initiatives, and help deliver them; introduce new technologies and processes that accelerate team productivity and quality.
Other
- You will join an amazing team of talented and motivated engineers with diverse backgrounds and experience who value collaboration, learning and improvement, trust and respect, and technical excellence.
- Proven ability to navigate ambiguity, make principled trade-offs between speed and quality, and drive innovation while maintaining long-term sustainability.
- Experience working in a fully remote, asynchronous, distributed team environment; excellent communication skills and ability to influence without authority.
- Passion for emerging technologies and the curiosity to explore how they apply to real business problems.
- Strong preference to be Boston or San Francisco based, but open to remote within the U.S.
