Summary

This is a full-time opportunity with an innovative software organization building cloud-native platforms that power research, data collaboration, and AI-driven discovery tools used across scientific and technical industries.

This role is for someone who wants to architect and lead the development of a brand-new AI-native product while mentoring a high-performing engineering team. You'll take business ideas and translate them into modern technical architecture, working directly with product and UX to shape how AI is embedded into real-world applications. If you enjoy greenfield builds, cloud-native design, and applying LLMs and AI tooling to create production-grade systems, this is the kind of opportunity where you get to truly own the vision and execution.

  • 5+ years of experience designing AI-powered applications and infrastructure using LLMs
  • Strong programming expertise in Python and Java
  • Experience working with distributed computing frameworks such as Ray, Spark, Dask, or similar
  • Deep experience building highly available, large-scale applications in AWS environments
  • Strong understanding of microservices, APIs, containers, and cloud-native design
  • Experience implementing DevSecOps practices including CI/CD, testing, and observability
Desired Skills & Experience
  • Advanced degree in Computer Science or related field
  • Experience leading engineering teams and mentoring developers
  • Familiarity with multi-cloud environments (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure)
  • Exposure to data science, AI/ML, cybersecurity, or big data technologies
  • Experience with open-source technologies
  • Full-stack development exposure is a plus
  • Strong communication and cross-team collaboration skills
  • Experience working in highly technical, research, or data-driven industries is a plus
