About this role
The Role
You know how to operate at scale. You live by ownership and bias for action. But working within the confines of a massive company or cloud provider, your scope is often limited to a single service, proprietary internal tooling, and endless operational reviews.
This is a "0 to 1" role. We don't need you to maintain a legacy service with 10 years of tech debt. We need you to architect the core platform that ingests, processes, and acts on billions of data points from the physical world. It's an opportunity to escape the service team grind.
What You’ll Build
- Tagup AI Agent : Optimize complex NL queries and time-series data storage to ensure sub-second latency for our AI models.
- Core Architecture : Design and implement high-performance REST APIs and microservices that power the Manifest platform.
- Data Ingestion at Scale : Build the "nervous system" of our platform—robust ETL pipelines that ingest high-frequency sensor data from diverse industrial assets.
- Operational Excellence : Bring your "Bar Raiser" mentality to our infrastructure. Implement sophisticated monitoring, alarming, and automated CI/CD pipelines to ensure 99.99% availability without the bureaucracy.
Required Skills
- You treat architecture as an evolving being that morphs as customers scale and storage/compute/security needs change.
- You understand "Scale" vs. "Complexity": You know that scale isn't just about TPS; it's about handling complex data relationships.
- You want to mentor: You are ready to take the "Tech Lead" mantle, mentoring junior engineers and setting the standard for code quality and design patterns.
The Tech Stack
- AI: pyro, torch, MCP, Langchain using Claude.
- Languages: Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Pandas) – We value your software engineering fundamentals and ability to learn over which specific languages you have experience in.
- Data: PostgreSQL, Redis.
- Infra: AWS (EC2, RDS, EKS), Kubernetes, Terraform.
