• Guide and mentor engineers while maintaining a strong individual contributor presence
• Define infrastructure automation strategies (IaC, provisioning, deployment workflows)
• Drive performance, reliability, and observability standards
• Partner with product and leadership to translate vision into executable technical milestones

What We’re Looking For

Core Experience

• 8+ years building and shipping production software
• Prior experience leading engineering initiatives or managing technical direction
• Proven track record scaling a generative AI system or AI-enabled platform in production
• Strong backend engineering background in Python

• Advanced DevOps knowledge: CI/CD, automated deployments, monitoring, alerting
• Experience containerizing and orchestrating services with Docker and Kubernetes

Leadership & Execution

• Comfortable setting technical direction while staying hands-on
• Strong communicator who can explain complex systems clearly
• Experience mentoring engineers and elevating engineering standards
• Ability to operate in a fast-moving, startup environment

Nice to Have

• Experience building or deploying ML/AI systems (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.)
• Strong GCP background (bonus if you’ve worked across AWS/Azure as well)
• Familiarity with frontend frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue
• Experience working in healthcare, health tech, or regulated industries

Work Environment

This role is based in Palo Alto with a hybrid schedule (3 days per week onsite). We provide daily meals and foster a collaborative, high-performance engineering culture.
