## 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
