About the Company
Ema is building the next generation of AI technology to empower every employee in the enterprise to be their most creative and productive. Our proprietary tech allows enterprises to delegate most repetitive tasks to Ema, the AI employee. We are founded by ex-Google, Coinbase, and Okta executives and serial entrepreneurs, and backed by Accel Partners, Naspers, Section32, and prominent Silicon Valley angels including Sheryl Sandberg, Divesh Makan, Jerry Yang, Dustin Moskovitz, David Baszucki, and Gokul Rajaram.
Our team comprises engineers from Google, Microsoft Research, Facebook, Square/Block, and Coinbase, educated at Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, CMU, and the IITs. Ema is based in Silicon Valley and Bangalore, India. This is a hybrid role with three days a week in office.
About the Role
You are an experienced Senior Infrastructure Engineer who owns backend infrastructure end to end. You design multi-tenant, microservices-based systems that other engineering teams build on, and you make deliberate architectural tradeoffs around consistency, latency, scale, and cost.
You are comfortable going deep — service mesh internals, database internals, distributed-systems failure modes — and equally comfortable defining the reliability and security contracts an enterprise AI platform depends on.
Responsibilities
- Design, own, and evolve scalable microservices architectures on Kubernetes across GCP, Azure, and AWS, including multi-tenant isolation (namespaces, network policies, per-tenant resource quotas and RBAC).
- Build core platform and data-plane components in Golang and Python — data ingestion, knowledge-base indexing and vector/graph search, application connectivity, workflow automation, and ML operations — against explicit latency and throughput SLOs.
- Own service-to-service communication: gRPC/protobuf API contracts, service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), load balancing, retries, timeouts, and circuit breaking.
- Make and document architectural tradeoffs
