About the company
Our client is a software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Lead the delivery of a security-hardened deployment of an existing software platform inside a restricted public-sector cloud. The work is mostly backend engineering with some frontend, and involves close collaboration with machine learning and platform colleagues.
What you'll do
- Re-create an existing application stack in a locked-down government cloud, prioritizing security, stability and reliability.
- Design and implement data separation so each user can only view information appropriate to their authorization level.
- Keep backend services dependable and expand infrastructure capacity as more users join.
- Work alongside a machine learning engineer to migrate retrieval-based AI pipelines, benchmark models and bring down running costs.
- Stay aligned with the wider platform engineers so new capabilities reach the government deployment.
- Split your time roughly 70% backend and 30% frontend.
