Join a public safety technology team building and operating the data and infrastructure platform behind large-scale image search. You will own reliable distributed systems and data services from architecture through deployment and production operations.
What You'll Do
- Design and operate data infrastructure for large-scale ingestion into object storage and indexing across databases and vector stores.
- Make architectural tradeoffs across storage tiers, distributed databases, and high-throughput messaging and streaming systems.
- Deploy and scale containerized services across environments using orchestration platforms, declarative configuration, and GitOps workflows.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and DevOps tooling that supports safe, frequent releases.
- Help maintain secure, auditable, reliable systems in federal or other regulated environments.
- Troubleshoot and tune application, storage, and networking systems, and mentor engineers through reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
What We're Looking For
- Five or more years of software engineering experience building and maintaining production systems, with experience owning systems through deployment and on-call operations.
- Hands-on AWS experience and a strong understanding of distributed systems, backend engineering, and production data pipelines.
- Experience designing large-scale data storage and retrieval across hot and cold tiers.
- DevOps experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and automated deployments.
- Experience running containerized services with Docker and Kubernetes, and familiarity with Terraform, GitOps, Python or Go, PostgreSQL, vector databases, object storage, Kafka, ArgoCD, and Helm.
