Network Infrastructure Engineer (DevOps)

Who We Are:

We build infrastructure that delivers massive amounts of web data to the companies training the world’s most powerful AI models.

We’re the team that helps to power and support Grass, a bandwidth-sharing network that lets us operate a massive distributed crawler, giving us unique access to high-quality public web data at global scale. On top of that, we’ve built pipelines for ingesting, segmenting, and annotating billions of videos, transcripts, and audio files, powering dataset creation for frontier labs.

We’re lean, technical, and move fast. No red tape, no slow decision-making; just a team of builders pushing to expand what’s possible for open web data and AI.

The Role.

We are looking for a talented Network Infrastructure Engineer to join our team with experience working with infrastructure and network architecture design. In this role, you will be responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure that powers our AI-driven platform. You will work closely with our engineering and product teams to deploy physical infrastructure at our data centre to ensure that our systems are scalable, secure, and reliable. Your work will directly impact the efficiency and performance of our platform, enabling us to deliver cutting-edge solutions at scale.

Who You Are.

  • Ensure that all systems are secure and compliant with industry standards.

Why Work With Us:

• Opportunity. We are at the forefront of developing a web-scale crawler and knowledge graph that improves access to public web data and extends the value of AI to the people.

• Culture. We’re a lean team with a high bar. We come to work not to be comfortable, but to find out what we’re capable of and to do work that matters. We’re not calling for people who keep things moving. We’re calling for people who make everyone around them better.
