Location: San Francisco
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: DevOps, Cloud & Infrastructure

Key Responsibilities

  • •Build the Semantic Layer: Design and own the semantic layer that powers our system-of-record flywheel. This layer is the foundation for how data, state, and meaning flow through the company, enabling compounding AI products across teams.
  • •Create Internal Platforms with Leverage: Build primitives, abstractions, and APIs that product teams use as building blocks. Your success is measured by how easily other engineers can ship powerful AI-driven features on top of your work.
  • •Treat Product Teams as Customers: Partner closely with internal product and engineering teams to understand their needs, eliminate friction, and design systems that are intuitive, well-documented, and hard to misuse.
  • •Architect for Multiple Data & Request Topologies: Design systems that span data warehouses, OLTP databases, streaming systems, and vector stores. Make intentional tradeoffs based on latency, throughput, consistency, and access patterns.
  • •Set Platform Direction: Work with leadership to define the long-term platform architecture, including build-vs-buy decisions, evolution of the semantic layer, and how the system scales as product surface area grows.

Key Requirements

  • •Platform & Systems Experience: 5+ years building and operating distributed systems, ideally with experience owning a platform or core abstraction used by multiple teams.
  • •Strong Data Systems Background: Deep understanding of data warehouses, transactional databases, and other storage systems, including how to model data for different access patterns and workloads.
  • •Semantic & Abstraction Thinking: Ability to design schemas, contracts, and semantic models that remain stable over time while supporting rapid product iteration.
  • •Operational Rigor: Experience with observability, migrations, backfills, incident response, and running high-uptime systems that are hard to unwind once in production.
  • •Ownership Mentality: You take responsibility for long-term outcomes, not just shipping code.
