About the company

Our client is a technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Design and run the shared infrastructure that engineering and review workflows depend on, with a focus on reliability, failure recovery and performance as usage grows. The work spans distributed services, data pipelines and the internal tools that non-engineering specialists use every day.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain distributed services and data pipelines that move job execution results and datasets reliably.
  • Diagnose live incidents and tune systems so they use fewer resources, run faster and bounce back after faults.
  • Make long-running jobs that rely on external APIs, remote environments and background services dependable.
  • Build internal tools that reduce repetitive manual work for team members.
  • Set and uphold engineering standards for infrastructure work across the team.

What we're looking for

  • 3 to 7 years of production software experience.
  • Working familiarity with large-scale software systems that handle heavy traffic and data movement.
  • A track record of taking projects from requirements through implementation and release.
  • Sound engineering judgment and the ability to investigate unfamiliar parts of a codebase.
  • High standards for engineering practice and a high degree of personal agency.

Bonus points

  • Background in automating AI-driven tasks, serving models in production or building model quality testing tools.
  • Side projects that show initiative and hands-on problem solving.

Benefits

  • Health, dental and vision coverage

Location and work model

  • San Francisco, CA, United States
  • On-site, in office
  • Full-time

Compensation, as the posting describes it

  • Base salary: $200,000 to $400,000
