About the team

We’re looking for a generalist software engineer to build and evolve our internal data platform. The team builds data-intensive services that ingest, process, store, and distribute multi-modal training data across multiple internal and external sources. This work emphasizes data integrity, reliability, and extensibility in support of large-scale training and experimentation workloads. The team also builds and maintains APIs and SDKs that enable product engineers and researchers to build on top of the platform.

As research directions change, so does our data, and today the team is focused on hardening the platform to reliably deliver an evolving set of data schemas, sources, and modalities. By building strong foundations and durable abstractions, we aim to enable new kinds of tooling and workflows over time. The team will play a key role in shaping them as the research evolves.
