Responsibilities

As a Member of Technical Staff on our Traffic Infrastructure team, you will own the traffic layer behind our generative AI platform: the proxies, load balancers, service mesh, and routing systems that move every request reliably across regions and cloud providers.

  • Architect and build scalable, fault-tolerant traffic and networking services, including ingress and egress, load balancing, routing, and quality-of-service controls.
  • Lead technical design discussions, mentor other engineers, and establish best practices for operating large-scale infrastructure.
  • Drive network optimization both inside and outside data centers, including cost reduction, performance tuning, and removing scaling bottlenecks.
  • Evaluate and integrate cloud-native and open-source technologies (e.g., Kubernetes, Envoy, Istio) to strengthen platform capabilities and reliability.
  • Own systems end to end, from design through deployment and observability, with an emphasis on high availability, disaster recovery, and operational excellence.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 5+ years of experience building backend or network infrastructure in cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Strong software development skills in languages such as Go, C++, Rust, Java, or Python.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems and networking fundamentals, including performance optimization.
  • Full product lifecycle ownership, from design through implementation to production.
