Mission Summary Our team builds the foundational infrastructure that empowers Machine Learning Engineers to develop the next generation of self-driving technology. We design and operate the high-performance, large-scale systems that process petabytes of vehicle data, run massive simulations, and train complex models. This is a software engineering role focused on building robust platforms, not an SRE position. As a Staff Engineer, you will be the technical cornerstone of the team, setting the architectural vision and leading the development of critical infrastructure used by hundreds of engineers. What you'll be doing: - Architect and lead the development of highly scalable, distributed infrastructure services on Kubernetes. - Set the technical vision and roadmap for the team, making high-impact decisions that accelerate AV development. - Mentor and guide other engineers on the team, elevating the group's technical abilities through design reviews, pair programming, and direct feedback. - Get hands-on to build and deploy the most complex components of the platform, from high-throughput data processing services to core compute orchestration. What we're looking for: - 6+ years of professional software engineering experience. - BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field. - Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (k8s) is a must. You have designed, built, and operated critical services on Kubernetes at a significant scale. - Proven experience building large-scale infrastructure. You have a deep understanding of the challenges in developing high-throughput, reliable distributed systems. - Expertise in Python, Go, or a similar language. - Strong experience with a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure). - Demonstrated ability to lead complex, cross-functional projects from concept to production.

The Senior Software Engineer — AI-Native Products operates across the full stack, owning work from the Next.js UI layer down to AWS infrastructure, with particular depth expected on the backend.

Qualifications - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with recent work you're proud of and can speak to in detail. - Strong JavaScript and TypeScript — the language, not just the frameworks. - Genuine AWS depth on the backend: ECS/Fargate, SQS, DynamoDB, EventBridge, Lambda, S3, and the patterns that make distributed systems reliable. - Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor) and a considered point of view on where they help and where they fall short. - Experience building production AI features with the Vercel AI SDK, including agent patterns, RAG, and streaming. - Comfort working with ambiguity and making sound technical calls without needing a ticket for every decision. - Strong understanding of event-driven architecture (EDA), domain-driven design (DDD), and API design principles. - Experience with CDK/IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and observability practices. - Experience with Git or other source control systems. - Experience with Agile methodologies. - Strong communication skills; ability to document and communicate technical decisions clearly. - Fluency in English required. - Must be authorized to work in the USA. Physical Requirements - Must be able to sit for extended hours within the day. - Must be able to talk, listen, and speak clearly on the telephone.
