Senior Backend Engineer – AI / ML Infrastructure (Remote)
The Opportunity
We’re partnering with a high-growth AI infrastructure company building a market-leading ML observability platform used by some of the most advanced engineering teams in the world.
The Backend Engineering team is responsible for highly scalable, distributed systems that power real-time analytics, model evaluation, and LLM monitoring at massive scale. While Go is the primary language, the platform also includes services written in Python, Java, and TypeScript.
This is a role for engineers who enjoy hard problems: distributed systems, OLAP architectures, real-time data pipelines, and AI-native tooling. You’ll be part of a core product team shaping how modern ML and LLM-powered applications are built, evaluated, and monitored in production.
What You’ll Be Building

- Distributed analytics systems built primarily in Go (with Python, Java, and TypeScript in the mix)
- APIs and infrastructure designed specifically for ML and LLM workflows
- Real-time data pipelines handling massive throughput
- Open-source extensions to OLAP databases and messaging systems
- Tooling that helps teams understand, debug, and improve AI systems in production
- Internal AI agents that help power and scale the product
- You’ll work closely with product, design, and directly with customer engineering teams
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years building backend or infrastructure systems that actually run in production
- Strong experience in Go, Python, Java, TypeScript/Node , or similar
- Comfort operating in fast-moving, low-bureaucracy environments
- Experience with cloud infrastructure and containers (AWS/GCP/Azure, Kubernetes)
- Curiosity and genuine excitement about AI, LLMs, and what’s coming next
Bonus Points
- Distributed streaming systems (Kafka or similar)
- OLAP or analytics-heavy systems
- Observability tooling (Prometheus, etc.)
- ML / data science exposure
- Hands-on experience building or shipping LLM-powered products
Comp & Perks
- $125k – $225k base + meaningful equity
- Medical, dental, vision, 401(k)
- Unlimited PTO
- Generous parental leave
- Mental health & wellness support
How We Work
- Remote-first, async-friendly culture
- Optional offices in NYC and the SF Bay Area
