About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Obsess over customer problems and ship for velocity and impact over technical pedantry
Ship across the stack - agent, backend, infrastructure, and frontend - wherever the work is that week
Build internal agents that automate the repeatable parts of engineering and distribute them across the team
Define how AI-native engineering works at Origin: the context, permissions, and tooling our agents need to do real work
Design and operate distributed systems using AWS, EKS, Clickhouse, and Kafka against real production SLAs
Drive technical decisions on storage schemas, API contracts, and the patterns that hold up at scale in a multi-tenant environment
Work alongside research and systems-internals engineers to turn their work into reliable production software

Requirements

What you’ll need

AI-native engineering practice: prolific use of Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode
Track record of building data-intensive systems at scale (millions of concurrent operations, high-throughput event processing, distributed coordination)
Deep understanding of distributed systems principles: streaming, batching, backpressure, recovery, and consistency models
Performance engineering mindset: complexity analysis, profiling-driven optimization, and discipline under resource constraints
Modern systems programming experience, Rust preferred
Strong working fluency in Python across services, inference pipelines, and tooling
Production experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), Kubernetes (EKS or equivalent), and event streaming (Kafka or equivalent)
Comfortable working in our React frontend to deliver functionality to end users
High agency, with a track record of identifying important work and finishing it.
