## About the role

We’re looking for a Software Engineer - Platform / Core Infrastructure who’s passionate about building scalable systems and solving hard problems in ambiguous environments. In this role, you’ll design and implement the complex distributed infrastructure that powers our core AI engine and distributed analysis systems, enabling XBOW to run seamlessly across multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, OCI etc.) and contexts (SaaS, on prem).

## What they're looking for

- Strong experience building and operating scalable, distributed systems on cloud infrastructure such as AWS or similar
- Extensive experience with Containerisation and Orchestration technologies (e.g. Docker and Kubernetes)
- Comfortable working with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, CDK) and see infra as part of the engineering system—not something separate from it
- Experience with event-driven architectures, message queues, or async workflows (for example, using Kafka)
- A track record of performance tuning across cloud services, databases, and compute layers
- Eager to learn new tools, languages, and technologies as needed
