About the role

Platform Engineers to build the infrastructure and services behind Goodfire’s interpretability platform, enabling researchers and engineers to run experiments, work with model data, and bring new capabilities into production.

Responsibilities

  • Build shared services and APIs: create the foundations that research tools and customer products use to launch work, access data, and retrieve results.
  • Support compute-intensive workflows: build systems for scheduling, tracking, and recovering long-running experiments and model workloads.
  • Make data and artifacts usable: develop pipelines and storage interfaces for datasets, model activations, checkpoints, and evaluation results, with clear provenance and reproducibility.
  • Own production reliability: improve deployment, observability, performance, and failure recovery across platform services.
  • Improve developer experience: make it easier for researchers and engineers to develop, test, and ship new capabilities without rebuilding infrastructure for each project.

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience building and operating production software.
  • Strong backend or systems engineering fundamentals, with depth in distributed systems, data infrastructure, cloud infrastructure, or developer tooling.
  • Experience owning a service or infrastructure component through development, deployment, and ongoing operation.
  • Ability to debug failures and reason about performance, reliability, and maintainability across system boundaries.
  • Comfort translating evolving research and engineering needs into practical technical solutions.
  • Interest in understanding how AI models work and building the systems that make that understanding useful.
