Personified Application Layers that see, hear, and respond face-to-face in real time. Build and deploy with our API, no-code PAL Maker, or enterprise Solutions. Interactive AI avatars and conversational video reimagined. Backed by Sequoia, Y Combinator and CRV.
About the role
We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Infrastructure) to own the systems behind CVI, our real-time conversational product. Every live conversation between a person and a PAL runs on infrastructure your team owns. You'll take goals like uptime, latency, and cost and chase them wherever they lead, including into backend services and product code.
What they're looking for
- You own outcomes. You don't stop where "infrastructure" ends. If the fix lives in backend code or the CVI stack, you dive in, and you don't wait for a ticket to do it
- You're energized by unfamiliar problems. If the next thing that matters is standing up a training deployment you've never touched, you jump in and learn on the fly
- You adapt as priorities evolve. In a space moving this fast, the most important thing to build can change as we learn. When it does, you adjust course without losing momentum
- You care about this problem. Keeping large-scale, real-time systems fast and reliable is something you think about unprompted
- Hands-on GPU inference experience. You've deployed and optimized inference workloads on GPUs and know what it takes to build reliable systems on top of GPU cloud providers
- Kubernetes and EKS depth, including routing and scheduling. You're comfortable designing how work gets placed across a fleet, and writing the services that make it happen
