Full Job Description
ABOUT THE ROLE
As an infrastructure engineer at Aaru, you will build the systems that enable our simulations to run faster, more reliably, and at greater scale. You will work across compute, networking, data pipelines, and developer tooling to remove bottlenecks from Aaru's core engineering and research workflows.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Design and build low-latency, high-throughput infrastructure for large-scale simulations
Improve the reliability and performance of data ingestion and computation pipelines
Identify system bottlenecks across compute, networking, storage, and orchestration
Build tools and abstractions that help engineering and research teams move faster
Productionize experimental research workflows into reliable, repeatable infrastructure
Own infrastructure decisions from architecture through implementation and operation
YOU MAY BE A FIT IF
You have built infrastructure, frameworks, or internal platforms for fast-growing engineering teams
You have deep experience debugging performance and reliability issues in distributed systems
You are comfortable working close to networking, storage, compute, and cloud primitives
You have helped transition research or experimental systems into production
You care about developer experience and build systems that other engineers want to use
You are comfortable with strongly typed languages or languages with algebraic type systems
STRONG CANDIDATES MAY ALSO HAVE
Experience with long-running computational pipelines
Strong knowledge of networking protocols such as HTTP, TLS, TCP, or related systems
Experience designing infrastructure for high-scale data or machine learning workloads
A track record of finding and eliminating bottlenecks in complex systems
LOCATION
This role is based in New York City. Aaru is an in-person company, and the team works in-office five days a week. Candidates are expected to be located within the New York City metropolitan area or open to relocation.
BENEFITS
At Aaru, we take care of our people. In addition to a competitive base salary and equity participation, we offer comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, visa sponsorship and relocation support, and various other benefits and perks.
