• You'll own the APIs, data pipelines, and workflow orchestration that power our AI products—from real-time model inference to long-running optimization pipelines. • This role sits at the intersection of backend engineering and data engineering: you'll build the services that serve up models, manage workflows, and connect AI capabilities to the structured data that makes them useful. • You'll work closely with our Active Learning and LLM/Agents team leads, translating their product vision into scalable, production-grade systems. • The infrastructure you build will power model playgrounds for chemists, inverse design pipelines that optimize experiments across high-dimensional spaces, and orchestrated agent workflows that reason through complex scientific problems. • Design and build high-performance Python APIs that serve models, manage workflows, and expose AI capabilities to the broader platform • Architect backend services for scalability, reliability, and low latency • Build integrations between AI/ML systems, graph databases, and external data sources • Build and maintain long-running workflow pipelines using Ray and Temporal. • Design orchestration patterns for multi-step agent pipelines, batch inference, and numerical optimization workflows • Ensure fault tolerance, graceful degradation, and efficient resource utilization. • Architect and maintain data pipelines that feed AI/ML workflows • Work with Neptune (graph), Redis, DynamoDB, and other data stores to enable efficient data access patterns • Implement observability including logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting • Own system reliability—troubleshoot issues, conduct post-mortems, and continuously improve. • Design CI/CD pipelines and promote automation best practices.
