About the company
Our client is a technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Design and run the shared infrastructure that engineering and review workflows depend on, with a focus on reliability, failure recovery and performance as usage grows. The work spans distributed services, data pipelines and the internal tools that non-engineering specialists use every day.
What you'll do
- Build and maintain distributed services and data pipelines that move job execution results and datasets reliably.
- Diagnose live incidents and tune systems so they use fewer resources, run faster and bounce back after faults.
- Make long-running jobs that rely on external APIs, remote environments and background services dependable.
- Build internal tools that reduce repetitive manual work for team members.
- Set and uphold engineering standards for infrastructure work across the team.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- 3 to 7 years of production software experience.
- Working familiarity with large-scale software systems that handle heavy traffic and data movement.
- A track record of taking projects from requirements through implementation and release.
- Sound engineering judgment and the ability to investigate unfamiliar parts of a codebase.
- High standards for engineering practice and a high degree of personal agency.
Bonus points
- Background in automating AI-driven tasks, serving models in production or building model quality testing tools.
- Side projects that show initiative and hands-on problem solving.
Benefits
