Position Summary: We are hiring a Senior Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate the data and infrastructure platform behind our facial recognition and data systems. This is a software-heavy, hands-on role for an engineer who is comfortable owning systems end to end, from architecture and implementation through deployment and on-call operation.
You will build pipelines that ingest petabyte-scale data into object storage and turn it into fast, queryable databases and vector stores, design large-scale storage and retrieval across hot and cold tiers, and run distributed services on container orchestration using declarative configuration and GitOps workflows. The platform runs in the cloud and operates within compliant federal environments, so reliability, security, and scale sit at the center of everything you build. We are looking for a strong distributed systems engineer with deep DevOps instincts who wants significant ownership and the autonomy to make sound technical tradeoffs.
