Own customer deployments and develop AI platform features for semiconductor and electronics companies. Requires 5+ years backend/full-stack/infra experience, cloud and Docker fluency, and willingness to travel within California.
About the job
What You'll Do
- Own customer deployments at offices across the SF Bay Area, Cupertino, and Santa Clara.
- Develop features and integrations specific to customer workflows and port features from our cloud product to on-prem environments inside some of the most locked-down infrastructure on the planet.
- Manage cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OpenShift: standing them up, keeping them healthy, debugging them when they're not.
- Learn about hardware design. Previous experience is not expected, but you should be eager to familiarize yourself with how hardware is developed at a high-level.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years in backend engineering, full-stack development, or infrastructure/DevOps: internships and teaching assistantships don't count
- Familiarity with agent development and RAG
- Fluency in at least one mainstream backend language (Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, etc.) and familiarity with either Python or TypeScript
- Comfortable with the Docker ecosystem, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), and IaC tools
- Willingness to travel, mostly in California
Bonus Points For
- On-prem deployment experience in enterprise or air-gapped environments
- Prior field engineering, solutions engineering, or customer-facing technical roles
- Experience in EDA, semiconductor, or hardware-adjacent software environments
