In this role, you will help design and develop high-throughput backend systems that orchestrate complex execution workflows, interface with isolated execution environments, and process evaluation signals. You will work on solving distributed systems problems at the intersection of infrastructure orchestration and asynchronous data flows, ensuring our platforms are robust, scalable, and highly available. What You'll Do: Designing, building, and maintaining robust backend services and highly concurrent asynchronous workflows, primarily in Python and Go. Integrating backend control planes with isolated, secure execution environments to safely run agents and capture execution artifacts.

Deep proficiency in Python and Go (or strong experience in C++/Java with a willingness to master Python and Go quickly). Hands-on experience with durable workflow orchestration engines for managing distributed state and long-running asynchronous tasks. Strong working knowledge of containerization, virtualization, or secure workload isolation technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, or microVMs). Experience building resilient APIs and handling high-throughput event or message data. A strong sense of ownership, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in a globally distributed team. AI/ML Ecosystem Awareness: While you do not need to be an ML researcher, you possess a strong foundational understanding of interacting with LLM APIs, prompt constraints, and the unique architectural challenges of testing non-deterministic systems.
