Advanced MaterialsArtificial Intelligence (AI)Manufacturing
Responsibilities
Build and operate core platform services that power production systems
Design internal APIs, service patterns, and shared libraries that enable teams to ship quickly and safely
Own reliability in real-world environments: deployments, failures, observability, incident response, and debugging
Improve our developer experience: CI/CD, testing workflows, environment management, and self-serve tooling
Aid in production hardening: rollout strategies, safe migrations, incident playbooks, reliability testing
Service orchestration primitives: queues, schedulers, retries, idempotency, cancellations, and long-running workflows
Partner closely with backend, ML, robotics, and science teams to turn platform needs into clean abstractions
Qualification
Required
5+ years of experience building backend systems in production environments
Strong software engineering fundamentals (design, implementation, testing, reliability)
Fluency in at least one backend language: e.g., Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, etc
Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation
Comfort operating services in the real world: on-call, debugging, performance bottlenecks, failure modes
Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI) and integrating security checks within them
Ability to build clean abstractions that other engineers actually want to use
Solid understanding of Linux/Unix systems administration
Experience with monitoring, logging, and tracing tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, ELK, etc.)
Understanding of network security concepts (e.g., firewalls, VPNs, network segmentation, Tailscale)
Strong ownership and bias toward action: you find the sharp edges and sand them down
Preferred
Exposure to machine learning lifecycles or MLOps concepts
Experience with distributed systems (queues, schedulers, event-driven architectures, consistency tradeoffs)
Background in scientific computing, robotics, or automation-heavy environments
Solid understanding of security principles, practices, and common security tools (e.g., vulnerability scanners, intrusion detection systems)
Experience with security and compliance software (e.g., Drata, Apptega)
