About the role

This role is about solving complex engineering problems at scale and building the backend solutions that power them. You will help design and operate the distributed systems that turn store imagery into real-time, actionable alerts. That includes choosing and building on workflow-orchestration infrastructure for ML pipelines, making infrastructure and GPU-capacity tradeoffs for model serving at scale, and extending our identity and multi-tenancy platform as we bring on larger, more security-conscious customers. You will also help the team see what is happening in production through better observability, and mentor other engineers along the way.

What you will do

• Bring the platform to the next level: load- and stress-test it against our largest deployments yet, and close the gaps that surface
• Push our infrastructure and GPU capacity strategy further to support larger, more demanding deployments
• Collaborate closely with AI/ML researchers/engineers to put their innovations to production
• Extend and harden our multi-tenancy platform for new customers and regions
• Deepen observability so the team can find and fix production issues even faster
• Design and evolve our service APIs as the platform grows
• Mentor other engineers and help set technical direction as the team scales
