• Optimize latency and throughput across inference, caching, batching, and streaming
• Ensure backend systems run reliably at scale, handling production AI traffic with low latency and high throughput
• Develop stable, clear APIs that support seamless integration with frontend and ML systems
• Quickly detect, diagnose, and resolve production incidents to minimize user impact
• Drive iterative improvements based on real usage to continuously increase system performance and reliability

What We're Looking For

• Strong backend engineering fundamentals in production environments
• Experience running high-throughput, low-latency services
• Familiarity with AI inference patterns (LLMs, embeddings, multimodal)
• Comfortable debugging distributed systems under load
• Bias toward shipping and learning from production behavior
• Ability to bring structure, exercise judgment, and execute independently
