  • Familiarity with model training, inference, evaluation, or data pipeline infrastructure

  • Experience with regulated cloud environments (FedRAMP, GovCloud, CMMC Level 2)

  • Contributions to platform engineering, open‑source infrastructure, or developer productivity initiatives

Compensation & Benefits

  • Pay range: $350,000–$500,000/year (national base salary range: $230,000–$260,000 USD)

  • Equity compensation eligibility
