The Role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the design and delivery of backend services for a data-heavy software platform, working directly alongside the founding team.

- Partner with research and product engineers to move new machine learning capabilities into production.
- Establish the engineering patterns that future team members will build on.
What We're Looking For
- At least 3 years of hands-on backend engineering, including responsibility for production systems that grew in scale and complexity.
- Time spent at an organization with a strong reputation for engineering quality.
- Practical background in building pipelines, coordinating multi-step jobs or working with very large, untidy datasets.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, math or a related field.
- Solid knowledge of Python, microservices and distributed systems.
- Ability to architect and deliver backend systems from start to finish with little supervision.
- Genuine enthusiasm for a very small early-stage startup and a high-intensity pace.
- Based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco area.
Bonus Points
- Experience running LLMs or ML models in production.
- Experience with browser automation or complex integration work.
