• Backed by deep expertise in data, infrastructure, and model deployment, we are uniquely positioned to solve the hardest problems in AI adoption
• Join us in shaping the future of enterprise AI, where your work will directly impact how businesses operate, innovate, and grow in the age of GenAI
• Design, build, and scale backend systems that power enterprise GenAI products, focusing on reliability, performance, and deployment across both Scale’s and customers’ infrastructure
• Develop core services and APIs that integrate AI models and enterprise data sources securely and efficiently, enabling production-scale AI adoption
• Architect scalable distributed systems for data processing, inference, and orchestration of large-scale GenAI workloads
• Optimize backend performance for latency, throughput, and cost—ensuring AI applications can operate at enterprise scale across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
• Manage and evolve cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), driving automation, observability, and security for large-scale AI deployments
• Collaborate with ML and product teams to bring cutting-edge GenAI models into production through efficient APIs, model serving systems, and evaluation frameworks
• Continuously improve reliability and scalability, applying strong engineering practices to make AI systems robust, maintainable, and enterprise-ready
