This position

The platform engineering team is responsible for building and operating a high performance, robust, and secure application that harnesses the power of our ML core.

• Adapt Seek’s platform to the capabilities of our cloud environments as needed, for example authentication or monitoring
• Review and improve your teammates’ design docs and PRs
• Assist in hiring activities for the R&D org

Requirements

• Strong, demonstrable skills in Python or related languages
• Experience building and operating scaled services on public cloud infrastructure
• Experience designing distributed services and architectures
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, and penchant for creating clarity

Bonus points if you have...

• Experience with Snowpark Container Services
• Experience with GCP, Kubernetes, docker, and Terraform
