- Build and maintain data pipelines and infrastructure, integrating data streaming technologies.
- Work across cloud environments (AWS and Azure), leveraging ECS, Kubernetes, and containerized deployments.
- Design and optimize databases, with strong focus on Postgres and vector databases such as Weaviate for search and AI-driven applications.
- Develop agentic infrastructure and tooling for next-gen AI workflows.
- Collaborate closely with customers and internal teams to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions.
- Mentor and guide engineers, fostering a culture of best practices in code quality, testing, CI/CD, observability, and scalability.

Must Have Qualifications:

- 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with proven ability to deliver and scale systems in production.

- Proficiency with databases (Postgres, MySQL, or others) and experience with vector DBs (Weaviate, Pinecone, or similar).
- Experience building data pipelines (batch + streaming) and working with modern data infrastructure. Using tools like Prefect and Temporal for scalable workloads.
- Familiarity with agentic platforms, AI tools, and workflow orchestration is a big plus.
- Strong experience with cloud infrastructure (ECS, EKS, AKS, Kubernetes, serverless).
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Bonus points if you’ve worked with infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi), observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry), or DevOps workflows (CI/CD, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.).

Why Join Us?

- Opportunity to shape architecture and strategy for critical systems.
- Work directly with customers and see your solutions in action.
- A culture that values autonomy, impact, and learning.
