About the Role
This staff-level infrastructure generalist role will set the technical direction of Outtake’s infrastructure and build the systems that support the company's growth. The role begins as an individual contributor, with potential to grow and lead infrastructure teams as the function scales. The engineer will own the foundations for how data is stored, indexed, retrieved, and moved, as well as how asynchronous work is scheduled and executed, and how systems utilize cloud resources.
Responsibilities
- Set the technical direction for Outtake’s infrastructure across databases, search and retrieval, data processing, asynchronous execution, and cloud architecture
- Redesign search and retrieval systems to support fast investigation across billions of pieces of content
- Evolve relational database architecture through sharding, partitioning, indexing, caching, and new data-access patterns
- Own application and infrastructure changes required to migrate live systems safely, including service topology and deployment strategy
- Design and build scalable asynchronous systems for scheduling, queues, workflows, retries, backpressure, rate limiting, and failure recovery
- Build data infrastructure for high-volume ingestion, streaming, batch processing, enrichment, and reprocessing
- Develop shared infrastructure services, APIs, libraries, and primitives for product engineers
- Own cloud foundations including compute, storage, networking, isolation, resource management, and deployment architecture
- Evaluate build-versus-buy decisions and make tradeoffs across latency, throughput, consistency, durability, cost, and complexity
- Work across engineering teams to identify repeated infrastructure problems and turn them into reusable systems
- Operate systems, use production evidence to improve architecture, and automate recurring operational work
- Write technical proposals, establish architectural standards, and guide other engineers through complex systems decisions
Requirements
- Experience operating at staff scope: identifying important technical problems, setting direction across team boundaries, and leading complex projects from design through adoption
- A track record of designing and building distributed infrastructure systems used by other engineers or products
- Experience scaling production systems through significant increases in data volume, traffic, or workload complexity
- Deep knowledge of relational database architecture, including data modeling, access patterns, indexing, partitioning, sharding, caching, and migration
- Experience building or evolving high-throughput asynchronous systems, with a strong understanding of scheduling, ordering, retries, idempotency, backpressure, and partial failure
- Experience with large-scale search and retrieval systems, including the tradeoffs among lexical search, vector retrieval, indexing speed, freshness, relevance, and cost
- Experience building ingestion, streaming, or batch-processing systems for large data volumes
- Work across the underlying cloud infrastructure when changes to compute, storage, networking, or deployment architecture are required to scale data systems
