Full Job Description
This role requires you to be in our San Francisco office (Atherton near Palo Alto).

The Role
You'll deliver our AI platform the world's leading semiconductor and consumer electronics companies, and collaborate with them to develop new features. (This is not an exaggeration.)

What You'll Do
  • Own customer deployments at offices across the SF Bay Area, Cupertino, and Santa Clara.
  • Develop features specific to customer workflows and port features from our cloud product to on-prem environments inside some of the most locked-down infrastructure on the planet.
  • Manage cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OpenShift: standing them up, keeping them healthy, debugging them when they're not.
  • Learn about hardware design. Previous experience is not expected, but you should be eager to familiarize yourself with how hardware is developed at a high-level.


What We're Looking For
  • We care about how you think, not how you keyword-match
  • 5+ years in backend engineering, full-stack development, or infrastructure/DevOps: internships and teaching assistantships don't count
  • Familiarity with agent development and RAG
  • Strong systems design and debugging instincts
  • Comfortable with the Docker ecosystem, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), and IaC tools
  • Willingness to travel, mostly in California


Bonus Points For
  • On-prem deployment experience in enterprise or air-gapped environments
  • Prior field engineering, solutions engineering, or customer-facing technical roles
  • Experience in EDA, semiconductor, or hardware-adjacent software environments
