About the role
We’re looking for pragmatic, high-agency engineers to design and ship infrastructure that enables Conduct to scale for large enterprises, while accelerating product teams building on top of it.
Responsibilities
- Accelerating product teams by building platform abstractions, sensible defaults, and internal tooling that enable engineers to focus on product rather than plumbing.
- Scaling infrastructure to meet enterprise reliability requirements and remain robust as the company grows.
- Taming LLM infrastructure with high token throughput, real-time usage, and flaky providers to ensure reliability.
- Raising the floor of the system design across auth, observability, and job orchestration so architectures are solid from the start and scalable long-term.
Qualifications
- 3+ years of backend experience with exposure to platform or infrastructure work
- Strong system design instincts and end-to-end ownership across APIs, infrastructure, and data flows
- Experience with distributed systems, scaling databases (PostgreSQL), queuing, and large-scale batch processing
- Ability to benchmark and tune systems under real load and make pragmatic trade-offs when data is ambiguous
- Familiarity with LLM infrastructure at scale
- Proactive about mentorship, improving systems, and raising standards
