What You’ll Do As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll work at the intersection of software engineering and machine learning operations. We’re hiring multiple engineers with complementary strengths across platform engineering and ML systems. No single person is expected to cover everything. Depth in one area, strong fundamentals, and the ability to collaborate effectively matter more than perfect overlap.

This includes deploying, monitoring, and optimizing AI workloads using Python and solid software engineering practices. Qualifications Must-Have Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience). Solid programming skills in Python (plus experience with frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, or Django). Hands-on experience with ML model deployment and monitoring in production. Knowledge of containerization (Docker). Experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions). Experience working within startups / scaleups. Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset. Knowledge of Agile delivery models (Scrum/Kanban) and software development best practices. Hands-on experience building production-grade systems. Preferred Skills Understanding of optimizing both CPU-bound and GPU-bound workloads. Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack). Experence with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). Experience with Azure. Identifying and resolving bottlenecks in distributed machine learning workloads (knowledge of low-level languages and CUDA library is a plus). Experience in building design automation products within the construction industry.
