- Set technical direction, improve reliability and scalability, and partner with product and downstream teams on quality bars, SLAs, and success metrics.
What they ask for
- 10+ years of experience building and operating large-scale production systems.
- Proven experience designing data ingestion, extraction, or processing systems at scale.
- Deep expertise in one or more of distributed systems, data platforms and pipelines, AI/ML-powered extraction or classification systems, or platform or infrastructure engineering.
- Demonstrated ability to design trustworthy systems combining probabilistic (AI) and deterministic approaches.
Nice to have
- Experience with document understanding, NLP, or financial data extraction.
- Experience with provenance, lineage, or confidence-scoring systems; cloud-native architectures and modern data stacks; or internal platforms used by multiple teams.
