Intelligent Personal Cloud Storage. Backed by Y Combinator and Felicis.
About the role
We are looking to grow from two founding teammates (we've accomplished a lot as just one engineer and one designer!) to a clan of around eight, so you'll be anywhere from engineer #2 to #7. You'll be tasked with bringing Poly to life as a reliable global internet service to store files at breathtaking speed and scale, and improving our AI architecture to become the "search engine for your life".
What they're looking for
- Passion for cloud service design and maintenance, including devops process management, continuous integration, and security. A knowledge of industry-leading tools like Terraform and Kubernetes is highly encouraged
- Knowledge of cloud services like S3, Dynamo, CloudFront, and other complex distributed systems that power the modern web
- In this role, experience with AI modeling or training is not required, though it is still highly desirable
- An extreme appetite for learning that you've honed through recursive self-improvement. You should be able to demonstrate an exceptional aptitude for automating your own development processes
- You thrive in independent, inter-disciplinary environments, and you are skilled at collaborating across domains and for productively engaging with people of all kinds
- You are willing to leave judgments about gender, race, creed, background, belief, or politics for outside of the workplace so that we can focus on building the world's best file storage platform for everyone
More about this role
Poly is building a better file storage platform for everyone. We've raised $8M from YC, Bloomberg Beta, Felicis, Figma Ventures, AI Grant, and more, and we're looking to grow our founding team of superstar builders and dreamers.
Poly’s intelligent file system is a desktop and web application that lets you store and browse your files with the help of a powerful multimodal AI. An easy way to wrap your head around it is to check out a demo from Abhay
We are adamant that Poly is the future way to store files for everyone because:

- Our product is lightweight -- we don't install a sync service that's constantly scanning your hard drive and we never need to resolve sync conflicts, ever.
- Completely, 100% cross-platform -- Our product looks identical across web and desktop, with zero compromises in the UI/UX, and all your files always available and up-to-date.
- Our product improves every...
