  • Write high-quality code that enhances the performance, scalability, and reliability of the platform
  • Engage in code reviews, architectural discussions, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Provide technical support for platform users and troubleshoot issues as they arise
  • Have areas of deep expertise in portions of the stack

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 3 years of relevant industry software development experience.
  • Proficient in design and develop RESTful backend services using .Net (C#/ASP.NET/.Net Core)
  • Strong.
  • Experience with design and operating cloud based architectures on AWS or similar cloud platforms.
  • Experience with managing containerized applications using Docker, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code.
  • Experience with major relational database (SQLite, SQL Server etc.) and/or NoSQL (AWS DynamoDB, Redis etc.).
  • U.S. citizenship is required as this position needs to access export controlled data.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience in hyper growth startup-like environments, with demonstrated success in scaling and maturing software development processes.
  • Familiarity with edge-to-cloud communication, covering messaging protocols and message transfer semantics (exactly-once delivery, resiliency, and fault tolerance).
  • Working knowledge of CPython internals - embedding CPython in a .NET process.
  • Familiarity with frontier AI tooling, AI coding assistants, and AI-enabled software development workflows.
