Create durable APIs and data interfaces between research systems, platform components and downstream products. Improve scalability, reliability, observability and cost efficiency across cloud-based workloads.

Build automation for model packaging, testing, deployment and operational monitoring. Work with large, complex datasets while maintaining strong standards for data quality, security and reproducibility. Partner with data scientists and ML engineers to turn prototypes into maintainable software. Contribute to architecture decisions, code reviews, testing strategy and engineering standards.

You are a product-minded software engineer who enjoys making hard technical work usable, scalable and reliable. Strong software-engineering experience in a modern backend language such as Python, Java, Scala, Go or C++. Experience designing distributed systems, cloud services, data platforms or ML infrastructure. Strong API design, testing, debugging and performance-engineering fundamentals.

Experience with containers, CI/CD and production observability. Ability to work effectively with data scientists, ML engineers and platform teams. A bias toward clear architecture, measurable reliability and practical delivery. It would be great if you also bring Experience with Kubernetes, workflow orchestration or feature/model platforms.

Experience with geospatial, mapping, sensor or high-volume event data. Familiarity with GPU workloads, model serving or ML evaluation systems. Experience supporting AI or simulation products in production. The expected base salary range for this position is $130,000 to $140,000 per year.
