Senior Platform Engineer, AI/Infrastructure (US East Coast, Hybrid)

Job Summary

As a Software Engineer on the Platform team at AutogenAI, you will work on a combination of application infrastructure and developer infrastructure challenges to make our product and product team go faster. This can include many topics such as improving auth/RBAC, building feature flag tooling to facilitate rollout of new features, spotting reusable tooling and packaging it, or transitioning our repositories to a monorepo to improve build times.

What you'll be responsible for

• Supporting our US-specific infrastructure as part of a team: A lot of our engineering functions are based in the UK, but we have US-specific hosting requirements due to our FedRAMP High authorization. This means we need folks onshore in the USA to support this. This is a strategic business focus for the company. To this end, you’ll be part of an oncall rotation for this environment.
• BUILDING AND MAINTAINING APPLICATION INFRASTRUCTURE: This is the layer of the product that isn’t tied to a specific feature, but impacts the whole product – e.g. auth, RBAC, logging, monitoring. You will work closely within your team to make major improvements and changes to the application infrastructure.
• IMPROVING THE DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE AT AUTOGENAI: This encompasses deployment pipelines, local/remote development tooling, and anything that might improve the developer experience. This will be a combination of planned major improvements, and ad hoc improvements that you might spot and implement in an agile way.
• COLLABORATING WITH THE WIDER ENGINEERING TEAM: you will have a lot of autonomy in this role to suggest the next improvements to implement; this means you should be building ties with the wider engineering team so you can figure out what might help them. You will collaborate with them through joint projects, troubleshooting, and knowledge sharing.

What You'll Bring to the Team

• Technical Expertise: you have experience building features and trouble shooting in your previous roles. You’re eager to bring those skills to the table and make changes.
• Communication Skills: you can quickly build rapport inside and outside of your team. You’ll learn how other teams work, and try to spot ways we can improve their lives.
• Adaptability and Initiative: you’re enthusiastic about taking on new challenges and learning about new domains. You’re not afraid to point out inefficiencies and suggest improvements
• Ownership: you care about the changes you make and the code you maintain; you want to see things working

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years working on technical projects, building and shipping features
• Technical Skills: fluency in a programming language (ideally TypeScript/Python - we’re flexible though); proficiency with relational databases
• Some Experience in Platform Infrastructure: knowledge and eagerness to upskill on Kubernetes, helmcharts, Docker, aws commands (or equivalent in the cloud provider you have used), and scripting
• US Citizens + Background Check: our US-specific platform requires this

Preferred Qualifications

• SRE/DevOps Experience: if you’ve worked in these capacities before, awesome
• Onsite Presence: We have a NY Office in Midtown and expect you to work from there to build valuable team connection ~2 times per month

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive Salary: $150,000 - $200,000 depending on specific experience and qualifications relevant to the role.
• Stock Options: Meaningful equity in the company.
• Comprehensive medical/dental/life insurance: Insurance coverage for individuals and families partially paid by the company as well as opportunity to participate in pre-tax health Flexible Spending Account.
• Retail Retirement Plan: Ability to invest your pre-tax dollars in a 401(k) retirement plan with company matching contributions.
• Paid Time Off: Unlimited vacation (Yes, you read right!)
• Flexible Work Options: 2 days per month in our buzzing NYC Midtown office
• Paid parental leave: 12 weeks if you’ve just given birth, 4 weeks if your partner has just given birth (after one year of year of service)
• Additional Perks: Your choice of laptop (Mac or Windows), regular company events to connect with teammates, and opportunities for continued professional development.
