Job Level
About the role
- Design the platform architecture with multi-tenant data isolation as a core constraint: per-client storage, per-client model serving, shared public data layer.
- Set up cloud infrastructure in Week 1: VPC, Kubernetes, GPU-backed model serving, event streaming, storage — all as Infrastructure-as-Code.
- Define API contracts between all components so the team can work in parallel from Day 1.
- Own build-vs-buy decisions, biased toward managed services in Phase 1 to reduce ops burden.
- Run daily standups. Own the delivery timeline. Unblock the team. Ship in 30 days.
- Architect the AI context layer: per-tenant prompt versioning, per-tenant exemplar libraries, shared and tenant-specific RAG corpora.
- Design the custom model workflow: how client feedback becomes training data, how models are trained in isolated environments, how custom models are served alongside the base model.
- Hire and onboard the remaining founding team members.
Requirements
- 8+ years production engineering; 3+ years as a technical lead or architect.
- Experience building multi-tenant platforms with data isolation requirements.
- Deep familiarity with distributed systems: Kafka, Kubernetes, microservices, real-time streaming.
- Hands-on experience deploying and serving large language models in production.
- Cloud-native architecture. Terraform mandatory.
- Strong written communication — you can articulate technical decisions to engineers and business stakeholders alike.
