## 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
