Our patented voice, and video authentication, fraud detection, and deepfake detection technologies protect some of the world's largest banks, insurers, retailers, and healthcare leaders. As AI-driven threats evolve in the form of synthetic voices, deepfakes, face swapping and more, our solutions stay ahead, helping ensure that the real human and the right human are recognized.\nPindrop is trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises to secure voice interactions, and with $100M ARR we're entering our next phase of innovation and growth, backed by world-class investors including Andreessen Horowitz, IVP, and CapitalG.\nWhat you'll do\nDesign\nDesign model training and inference workflows with clear versioning, lineage, and promotion criteria where models are part of the system.\nDefine service responsibilities, interfaces, and data contracts that evolve safely.\nSpecify behavior under retries, timeouts, partial failures, and dependency degradation.\nChoose consistency and durability guarantees that match risk, latency targets, and operational realities.\nDesign the request path for predictable tail latency and controlled resource usage.\nBuild\nBuild and operate high-performance services and APIs that keep authentication reliable, secure, and fast at scale.\nImplement distributed services that are safe under concurrency and robust to duplicate and out-of-order events.\nBuild real-time scoring and decision services with clear input/output contracts and bounded execution time.\nBuild distributed training pipelines that scale, are reproducible, and produce auditable artifacts.\nBuild pipelines that move data and model artifacts through validation, promotion, and release.\nValidate\nDefine automated quality gates for service changes and releases.\nAdd checks for data quality, schema/contract adherence, and training-serving consistency where appropriate.\nDefine acceptance criteria tied to measurable outcomes and production behavior.\nRelease\nShip changes with staged rollouts and rollback readiness as defaults.\nCoordinate multi-service releases with clear cutover and recovery plans.\nUse production signals to validate rollouts and trigger rollback when risk is high.\nOperate\nParticipate in on-call rotation, including nights and weekends.\nOwn after-hours production releases, including rollout validation, monitoring, and rollback execution.\nInstrument the full path with metrics, logs, and traces that enable fast detection and diagnosis.\nImplement alerting that reflects user impact, not just component health.\nLead incident response for your services, restore service quickly, and communicate clearly during events.\nRun post-incident reviews and close follow-ups that measurably reduce recurrence.\nImprove and lead\nDrive reliability work through SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets, and make tradeoffs explicit.\nImprove performance and cost through profiling, load testing, and capacity planning.\nRaise engineering quality through reviews, standards, and simplification of operationally expensive designs.\nAlign across teams on interfaces, data contracts, and reliability expectations to reduce coordination friction.\nEvaluate new approaches when they materially improve security, performance, delivery safety, or operational simplicity.\nWho you are\nYou have built and operated distributed production systems at scale.\nYou write systems that handle concurrency, duplication, and out-of-order events without surprising behavior.\nYou design for explicit failure modes, safe retries, and stable contracts.\nYou can design for predictable tail latency and controlled resource usage in real-time request paths.\nYou ship safely with staged rollouts, rollback readiness, and change discipline.\nYou use observability to reason about production and instrument systems for fast detection and diagnosis.\nYou can lead incident response and post-incident reviews and drive long-term reliability improvements.\nYou have owned on-call for critical services, including nights and weekends.\nYou are comfortable owning after-hours production releases, including rollout validation, monitoring, and rollback execution.\nYou have managed model lifecycle in production: versioning, validation, staged rollout, rollback, and outcome-tied monitoring.\nYou have built or operated distributed training pipelines with reproducibility, lineage, and controlled promotion.\nYou understand drift and training-serving skew risks and mitigate them with contracts, tests, and monitoring.\nYou have built or operated real-time inference services in production.\nYou communicate clearly, document decisions, and drive alignment on tradeoffs and success criteria.\nYou can take ambiguous problems, define scope, and deliver steady progress while keeping the quality bar high.\nYou actively seek out and remove unnecessary complexity, understanding that simplicity is a prerequisite for reliability, security, and velocity at scale.\nFamiliarity with voice authentication, fraud detection, or deepfake detection is a plus, not a requirement.\nYour skill-set\n3–5 years of software development experience.\nExperience designing and implementing highly scalable cloud-based APIs.\nExperience with multiple programming languages, such as Python and Go.\nExpertise in data structures, algorithms, and concurrency.\nExperience building and operating real-time distributed systems, including patterns for resilient services such as backpressure, idempotency, timeouts, and retry or circuit-breaking strategies.\nExperience working with production ML systems and MLOps (for example, model deployment, feature pipelines, experiment tracking, and model or data quality monitoring) is a strong plus, but not required.\n2+ years of experience in DevOps practices towards deployment of SaaS services, including hands-on experience with Jenkins and GitHub Actions; implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines; and managing and maintaining applications in a multi-container environment such as Kubernetes.\nKnowledge of different data storage technologies, such as Redis and MySQL.\nKnowledge of Docker and container orchestration frameworks such as Kubernetes.\nExperience developing and maintaining services using AWS native products such as Kinesis, DynamoDB, and S3.\nExperience with observability and monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and cloud logging and tracing.\nLinux proficiency.\nWhat's in it for you\nAs a Pindropper, you join a rapidly
