Job Description

About the Role

We are looking for a Systems Engineer to build reliable, scalable infrastructure for our AI-native software engineering platform. You'll work on distributed backend services, storage systems, networking, and performance optimization while collaborating closely with ML and Product Engineers to deliver production-ready AI experiences.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving low-level systems problems, optimizing performance, and building infrastructure that supports millions of code analysis operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and build high-performance distributed backend systems.
  • Develop scalable APIs and services for AI-powered code intelligence.
  • Optimize latency, concurrency, and resource utilization across production infrastructure.
  • Build reliable storage and data processing pipelines for large code repositories.
  • Improve observability through logging, monitoring, and performance diagnostics.
  • Collaborate with ML Engineers to support model serving and inference infrastructure.
  • Contribute to system architecture, reliability, and security best practices.

Must-Have Skills

  • 4+ years of backend or systems engineering experience
  • Strong Rust, Go, C++, or Java
  • Experience building distributed systems and microservices
  • Linux systems programming and networking fundamentals
  • Strong database design (PostgreSQL or similar)
  • Cloud infrastructure experience (AWS preferred)
  • Excellent system design and debugging skills
  • Proven ownership of production infrastructure

Nice to Have

  • Kubernetes, Docker, or container orchestration
  • High-performance computing or concurrency optimization
  • gRPC, message queues, or event-driven architecture
  • Experience supporting LLM or ML inference platforms
  • Open-source systems or developer tools background

Ideal Candidate

We're looking for a hands-on engineer who enjoys building foundational infrastructure rather than product features. The strongest candidates
