Software Engineer, Chatgpt Infrastructure (AI)

TL;DR

Software Engineer, ChatGPT Infrastructure (AI): Building and operating platforms that enable fast iteration without impacting performance or reliability, with an accent on shared systems, data paths, and rollout mechanisms. Focus on designing core abstractions, creating tooling that makes safe and fast iteration the norm, and driving improvements in reliability and performance.

Company

hirify.global is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.

What you will do

• Build and evolve infrastructure platforms that many engineers and services depend on.
• Translate messy real-world constraints into clean abstractions: simple APIs, enforceable contracts, safe defaults.
• Drive improvements in reliability and performance through principled design, measurement, and iterative hardening.
• Partner across engineering and product to identify systemic pain points and turn them into reusable solutions.
• Own outcomes end-to-end: design → implementation → rollout → operational maturity.

Requirements

• Experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems in production (high throughput, concurrency, and failure handling).
• Strong fundamentals in systems design, including caching, consistency, queueing/backpressure, and resilient dependency management.
• Ability to reason about performance (latency distributions, tail behavior, bottlenecks) and translate that into concrete engineering work.
• Track record of building platforms or shared infrastructure that improves velocity and correctness for other teams.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills—aligning on interfaces, navigating tradeoffs, and driving cross-team execution.

Nice to have

• Experience designing paved roads / golden paths (frameworks, libraries, self-serve tooling) that shape engineering behavior at scale.
• Deep understanding of reliability techniques: graceful degradation, circuit breakers, load shedding, rate limiting, and fault isolation.
• Experience building systems for safe iteration: progressive delivery, correctness checks, automated rollout gates, and production validation.
• Strong instincts for API and contract design—how to create interfaces that are stable, evolvable, and hard to misuse.
• Prior work that demonstrates “force multiplier” impact: enabling many teams through a small number of well-chosen primitives.
