Company Description

We’re representing a rapidly scaling AI infrastructure company building the systems powering next-generation AI model development and evaluation. Their platform supports some of the world’s leading AI organizations by enabling highly specialized human intelligence workflows used in training frontier models.

The engineering organization operates in an extremely high-velocity environment focused on shipping scalable internal tooling, developer infrastructure, and evaluation systems. The company is profitable, scaling aggressively, and backed by top-tier investors, with a deeply technical and execution-oriented culture.

This role sits within a small but highly leveraged applications platform team responsible for improving developer velocity across a growing engineering organization and contractor ecosystem. The mission is to dramatically reduce the friction involved in building, testing, and deploying new applications.
