Job description

Job Summary:
Archer is an aerospace company based in San Jose, California, focused on advancing sustainable air mobility through all-electric aircraft. They are seeking a Senior Staff Engineer for Data Infrastructure to architect and manage high-throughput data tools and ensure a seamless environment for data scientists.
Responsibilities:
• Data Plane Ownership: Architect and manage the lifecycle of high-throughput data tools including Trino, Ray, and JupyterHub on Kubernetes.
• GitOps & Automation: Drive a "zero-manual-touch" philosophy using ArgoCD and Terraform to manage complex, stateful data environments.
• Observability at Scale: Build high-cardinality monitoring systems using VictoriaMetrics and Vector to track pipeline health, data ingestion rates, and system performance.
• ML Lifecycle Support: Maintain and optimize MLflow for model tracking, ensuring it integrates deeply with our compute and storage layers.
• Engineering Sovereignty: As a self-starter, you will identify performance bottlenecks in data processing and proactively implement infrastructure-level optimizations.
• Reliability: Participate in on-call rotations for the data stack, treating "data downtime" with the same urgency as a site outage.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• The 'Data-Aware' Engineer: You understand that scaling a database or a Ray cluster is different from scaling a stateless API. You know how to handle persistent volumes and data gravity.
• Senior Leadership: You’ve spent time in the trenches. You’ve been on-call for 2:00 AM outages and have built the automation to ensure those outages never happen twice.
• Tooling Polyglot: You don't just use tools; you contribute to them. You are comfortable writing Go or Python to extend Kubernetes Operators or automate data workflows.
• Self-Directed: You thrive in ambiguity. You can take a high-level requirement ('Make Trino faster') and turn it into a multi-week infrastructure roadmap.
• Successful candidates must be able to demonstrate U.S. citizenship, permanent residency, or status as a protected individual to satisfy ITAR, contractual, and/or regulatory requirements.
Company:
Archer is an aerospace company that developed an electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft tailored for urban air mobility systems. Founded in 2020, the company is headquartered in San Francisco, USA, with a team of 1001-5000 employees. The company is currently Late Stage.
