About the role
We are hiring a senior Generalist Engineer for our Research & Development Team who can own problems end to end and deliver complete production systems, not just components. This is a broad, high-ownership role for an engineer who can operate across software, distributed systems, infrastructure, data, and, where useful, machine learning, moving from vague problem statements to clear designs, robust implementations, reliable deployment, and effective operation in production.
Success in this role requires strong first-principles thinking, sound technical judgment, deep debugging ability, and the willingness to work across boundaries to get the job done. We are looking for a true engineering generalist: someone who reduces complexity, improves reliability and performance, and treats ML as one tool among many rather than a default answer.
