You design applications and services, operate inference platforms and pipelines, and treat unit economics (tokens, GPU-hours, idle capacity) as engineering constraints. You partner with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to deliver working software, higher reliability, and lower cost per unit of AI value. ## What You Will Do Software development - Design, build, and ship production services, APIs, and (where needed) user-facing interfaces. - Own the full lifecycle: implementation, tests, code review, CI/CD, deploy, and maintenance. - Write maintainable code in Python plus one more stack (TypeScript/Node, Go, or Java). AI engineering - Build and operate production AI systems: RAG, evaluation, fine-tuning, serving, and inference optimization. - Turn prototypes into reusable platform capabilities with CI/CD, eval, and governance. Cloud infrastructure - Architect AWS/GCP environments with Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD for apps and model pipelines. - Own observability and incident response; partner on SOC 2/SOX and least-privilege IAM. Cost control - Treat cloud and AI spend as an engineering problem: visibility, attribution, budgets, and reduction. - Optimize GPUs, inference routing, model choice, and right-sizing; track cost per request/token and GPU idle. ## What We're Looking For Required - 5+ years of professional software development, owning production systems (not only scripts or notebooks). - Shipped backend services/APIs and production AI/ML (LLMs, RAG, serving). - Strong Python plus a second stack; PyTorch, TensorFlow, or equivalent serving. - AWS or GCP with Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD. - Proven work reducing or governing cloud/AI spend. - Clear communication of technical and cost tradeoffs; you run what you build. ## Preferred - Full-stack (React/Next.js), vector databases, inference optimization, FinOps tooling, SOX/SOC 2, Copilot/Cursor. What Success Looks Like - Production software and AI with SLOs and real ownership — not demos. - Reliability stays high while GPU and cloud waste trends down. - Cost per unit of AI value is visible and improving; teams reuse libraries, IaC, and cost guardrails. Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is one of Motive's core values. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives.
