About the company

Our client is a technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Design and run the shared infrastructure that engineering and review workflows depend on, with a focus on reliability, failure recovery and performance as usage grows. The work spans distributed services, data pipelines and the internal tools that non-engineering specialists use every day.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain distributed services and data pipelines that move job execution results and datasets reliably.
• Diagnose live incidents and tune systems so they use fewer resources, run faster and bounce back after faults.
• Make long-running jobs that rely on external APIs, remote environments and background services dependable.
• Build internal tools that reduce repetitive manual work for team members.
• Set and uphold engineering standards for infrastructure work across the team.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• 3 to 7 years of production software experience.
• Working familiarity with large-scale software systems that handle heavy traffic and data movement.
• A track record of taking projects from requirements through implementation and release.
• Sound engineering judgment and the ability to investigate unfamiliar parts of a codebase.
• High standards for engineering practice and a high degree of personal agency.

Bonus points

• Background in automating AI-driven tasks, serving models in production or building model quality testing tools.
• Side projects that show initiative and hands-on problem solving.
