While some roles on the team blend research and data production, this role is focused more directly on the systems, infrastructure, and platform backbone that makes high-quality data production possible at scale.This is an opportunity to own critical platform infrastructure inside an intense, early-stage technical team building for frontier-lab demand.About the RoleOur client is hiring a Platform Engineer, Data Production to build and scale the internal platform that powers data production across the company.This person will focus on making the platform more feature-rich, reliable, scalable, and tightly integrated with the research and data teams. The work is core systems and infrastructure engineering — building the foundation that allows research and data teams to produce high-quality outputs faster and more repeatably.The ideal candidate is a strong systems engineer who can reason deeply about distributed systems, platform architecture, reliability, scale, and developer workflows.What You'll DoBuild and scale the internal data-production platformCreate systems that help the company meet growing demand from frontier AI labsImprove reliability, performance, and scalability across the platformBuild tight integrations between platform systems and the research/data organizationDesign infrastructure that helps researchers and data teams produce work faster and with higher qualityOwn core systems and infrastructure work across data production workflowsDebug complex platform issues and improve long-term system healthBuild tools, services, and abstractions that make data production more efficient and repeatablePartner closely with founders, researchers, data teams, and engineers to identify bottlenecks and ship improvementsHelp define platform architecture and engineering standards as the company scalesWhat We're Looking ForStrong software engineering and infrastructure engineering backgroundExperience with distributed systems, platform engineering, scaling, or systems infrastructureStrong code comprehension and ability to debug unfamiliar systems quicklyFast problem-solving ability in practical, systems-heavy environmentsAbility to reason through low-level infrastructure problems, async I/O, runtime behavior, distributed systems issues, or similar technical challengesHigh ownership, urgency, and bias toward resultsComfort operating in an intense, early-stage startup environmentAbility to build reliable systems without unnecessary process or overheadStrong collaboration with research, data, and engineering teamsHigh-slope learning profile and deep commitment to the workBonus ExperienceExperience building internal platforms for research, data, ML, or AI teamsExperience with distributed databases, network infrastructure, or large-scale backend systemsExperience building tooling for data production, evaluation, annotation, or model workflowsExperience working in high-performance technical teams or frontier AI-adjacent environmentsExperience debugging production systems, runtimes, async systems, or infrastructure bottlenecksExperience scaling internal platforms from early usage to high-demand production workflowsWho Will Thrive HereA systems/platform engineer who wants to own the backbone of a frontier-lab data productA fast problem-solver who enjoys debugging and building infrastructureSomeone who is highly committed, results-driven, and energized by intense early-stage workAn engineer who wants to work close to researchers and data teams without being in a research roleA builder who cares about reliability, scale, and making internal users dramatically more effectiveSomeone comfortable in person with an ambitious team that is moving quickly by choiceWhy This OpportunityOwn the internal platform that powers a frontier AI data productBuild critical infrastructure for a company serving advanced AI lab demandWork directly with founders and technical teams with deep systems backgroundsSolve hard platform problems across scale, reliability, integration, and workflow designHelp make research and data teams more productive through better systemsJoin early enough to shape platform architecture, engineering standards, and technical cultureStep into a role where infrastructure work directly impacts customer capacity and company growthIdeal Candidate ProfileThe ideal candidate is a systems-minded platform engineer who wants to build the infrastructure backbone of a high-demand AI data company.They are strong in distributed systems, infrastructure, debugging, and scaling.
