large-scale services

Work hands-on with technologies like Kubernetes and modern infra tooling

8+ years in software engineering

Bachelor degree in Computer Science from a top 20 US university

Currently (and for 2+yrs each time) at top tech firms or quant finance companies

Strong background in distributed systems / infrastructure / platform engineering

Proven track record of owning and delivering complex systems at scale

Experience mentoring or leading engineers

You thrive in fast-moving, intellectually demanding environments
And most importantly: You have taste . You care about how systems are designed, built, and scaled.

What's On Offer

Base salary: $300k - $350k

Significant guaranteed first-year bonus + sign-on

Exceptional overall package (as you'd expect at this level)
Why This Role?

Because:

You'll work on problems that actually stretch you

You'll have real ownership , not just tickets

You'll be surrounded by seriously smart people

And you'll help shape the future of Generative AI infrastructure
