Description
Scale AI is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Software Engineer, ARC (Architecture, Reliability, & Compute) to join our dynamic Public Sector Engineering team. As a part of this team, you will build and maintain internal CLIs/tools that standardize testing, deployment, and environment management. You'll own the model inference layer-managing networking, debugging latency, and tracking pricing/usage metrics for AI models. And you'll work with Product to build integration tests that catch issues early, shifting the focus from "infra-only debugging" to prevent failures upstream.
You will:
- Design and implement secure scalable backend systems for Public Sector customers, leveraging Scale's modern and cloud-native AI infrastructure.
- Own services or systems and define their long-term health goals, while also improving the health of surrounding components
- Improve our high engineering standards, tooling, and process
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and execute the vision for backend solutions, ensuring they meet the unique needs of government agencies operating in secure environments.
- Participate actively in customer engagements, working closely with stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver innovative solutions.
- Contribute to the platform roadmap and product strategy for Scale AI's Public Sector business, playing a key role in shaping the future direction of our offerings.
Ideally you'd have:
- An active security clearance, and the ability to obtain a TS/SCI with CI Poly. This is a requirement and candidates will not be considered who do not hold this level of clearance
- Full Stack Development: Proficiency in both front-end and back-end development, including experience with modern web development frameworks, programming languages, and databases. Experience with developing & delivering software to air-grapped & isolated environments is a plus.
- Cloud-Native Technologies: Understanding of containerization (e.g., Docker) and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes) is desired. Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and experience in developing and deploying applications in a cloud-native environment.
- Security Focused: Experience with Federal Compliance frameworks, and requirements(e.g, Cloud SRG, FedRAMP, STIG Benchmarks, etc). Experience developing software & technical solutions that meet strict security & regulatory compliance requirements.
- Problem Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to understand complex challenges and devise effective solutions. Ability to think critically, identify root causes, and propose innovative approaches to overcome technical obstacles.
- Collaboration and Communication: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and customers. Ability to clearly articulate technical concepts to non-technical audiences and foster a collaborative work environment.
- Adaptability and Learning Agility: Willingness to embrace new technologies, learn new skills, and adapt to evolving project requirements. Ability to quickly grasp and apply new concepts and stay up-to-date with emerging trends in software engineering.
- Must be able to support work 3-4 days a week from the DC, SF, NYC, or STL office.
