## About the role

Fireworks serves billions of API requests a day, and the work of getting a model from merged to serving still passes through too many hands. Deploys wait on someone to run a step. Alerts land in a channel and wait for a human to route them. Provisioning a customer means clicking through three systems in the right order. Every one of those is a workflow nobody has written down as code yet.

## What they're looking for

- Two languages, deep. 6+ years building production systems, with strong Python plus JavaScript or TypeScript — clean, modular, async code, not glue scripts
- Workflow orchestration. Hands-on expertise with n8n, Temporal, Make, or a comparable platform, including custom nodes and error-handling design
- API fluency. You reason in payloads and endpoints: REST and GraphQL, webhooks, gateways, proxying, and the auth mechanisms behind them
- CI/CD ownership. You have owned pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins through real scale and real incidents
- Cloud and containers. Production Kubernetes on AWS or GCP, with Terraform as your default way to change infrastructure
- Automation instinct. Your reflex after fixing something twice is to make the third time impossible
