Scale GP (Scale Generative AI Platform) is an enterprise-grade Generative AI platform that provides APIs for knowledge retrieval, inference, evaluation, and more. We are looking for a strong engineer to join our team and help us build and scale our product in a fast-paced environment. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of software engineering principles and practices, as well as experience with large-scale distributed systems. You will be responsible for owning large new areas within our product, working across backend, frontend, and interacting with LLMs and ML models.

You will:

  • Own large new areas within our product, driving features from design through production deployment.
  • Work across backend, frontend, and interacting with LLMs and ML models
  • Develop reliable backend services in Python, working with distributed systems, data pipelines, and ML/LLM components.
  • Integrate with LLMs, vector databases, and AI infrastructure to power intelligent product experiences.
  • Deliver experiments and new features quickly, maintaining high quality and tight feedback loops with customers.
  • Collaborate across product, ML, and infrastructure teams to shape the direction of Scale GP.
  • Adapt quickly—learning new technologies, frameworks, and tools as needed across the stack.

Ideally you'd have:

  • 4+ years of full-time engineering experience, post-graduation
  • Strong experience in Python or Javascript/Typescript
  • Experience scaling or shipping products at high-growth startups.
  • Familiarity with LLMs, vector databases, embeddings, or other modern AI tooling (tinkering or production experience welcome).
  • Proficiency with SQL and modern API development.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, containerization, and microservice architectures.
  • Experience working with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
