Support batch inference and performance optimization workflows, helping teams run evaluations in a cost-effective and scalable way.
Improve platform reliability, quality, and usability, including incident response workflows aligned to business-defined SLOs.
Collaborate with partner teams to understand their pipeline requirements and provide the underlying infrastructure that enables them to move quickly.

Understanding of database principles and consistency models, including concepts such as eventual consistency, strong consistency, and distributed data systems.
Familiarity with traditional databases or data warehouses such as Postgres, ClickHouse, or column-oriented databases.
Experience in data engineering, data platforms, workflow orchestration, or pipeline infrastructure.
Experience with machine learning infrastructure, inference systems, or ML performance optimization.
