Full Job Description
Location: Remote (US time zones preferred) | Full-time

Are you a distributed systems wizard who dreams of architecting the backbone of a world-changing enterprise AI SaaS platform?

You9ll work alongside a tight-knit crew of top-tier engineers, tackling problems that demand creativity, rigor, and a relentless drive to ship excellence.

What you9ll do:
  • Design and build distributed systems that handle massive throughput, low-latency processing, and fault tolerance at scale.
  • Own the architecture of our core infrastructure-think data pipelines, real-time processing, and highly available services.
  • Collaborate with AI and product teams to ensure our systems don9t just keep up, but set the pace for innovation.
  • Solve hard problems: consistency, scalability, and performance in a world where downtime isn9t an option.


Who you are:
  • You9ve built distributed systems from the ground up-bonus if you9ve done it at scale for SaaS or AI workloads.
  • You9re fluent in tools like Kafka, Kubernetes, gRPC, or similar, and you know when to ditch the hype for what actually works.
  • You think in terms of trade-offs, not dogma-CAP theorem debates are your happy place.
  • You9re a doer who thrives in small teams where your impact is massive and bureaucracy is zero.
  • You9re not just good-you9re the person other engineers call when the system9s on fire.
