Deep expertise in Go, Python, or Node.js, with production microservices experience. Strong understanding of Kubernetes, container orchestration, and cloud‑native architectures. Hands‑on experience with Kafka, NATS, or similar event‑driven platforms. Proven experience operating at scale with a startup mentality—fast‑moving, adaptable, and pragmatic. Familiar with video AI / ML systems—understanding the tradeoffs that impact system design and performance. Experience implementing observability and CI / CD pipelines in production. Excellent communicator and mentor; capable of leading by example and elevating team technical standards. Prior experience in AI / ML infrastructure or large‑scale data processing. Exposure to vector databases, Elasticsearch, or real‑time analytics systems. Contributions to open‑source backend or infrastructure projects. Experience in multi‑cloud or hybrid environments. Build the distributed backbone that powers the world’s largest AI video dataset. Tackle complex systems challenges at the intersection of data, AI, and infrastructure.
