About this role
DS creates systems that power the next generation of radio spectrum intelligence. We collect radio data from all over the world, train neural networks to decipher it, and run them on the smallest chips we can. We’re solving a new, technically hard problem where nothing from other fields works out of the box, and along the way, we’ve built our own stack from scratch, including entirely new embedding model architectures, custom GPU kernels, and much more.
Joining DS means owning major parts of a fast-growing AI research organization, joining a collaborative, talent-dense team with decades of experience in probabilistic ML, accelerated computing, embedded systems, and signal theory, and growing your career in the areas that interest you. You’ll fit in if you want to come to work for the problem itself and don’t want to choose between technical rigor, business value, and real-world impact.
We work with high ownership and trust.
## The Role
Everything DS ship; inference services, data pipelines, agents, and the UI, it all runs on infrastructure this role owns. We're hiring a Platform Engineer to build the foundation that lets a fast-moving team deploy many times a day, scale to meet unpredictable load, and do it all securely.
You'll own our CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud deployment strategy, and you'll bring a DevSecOps mindset to how we build: security and compliance as part of the pipeline, not a gate at the end.
## What you'll do
- Design, build, and operate our cloud infrastructure across environments using infrastructure-as-code; make it reproducible, reviewable, and easy to evolve.
- Own CI/CD end to end: build pipelines, artifact management, testing gates, progressive delivery, and rollback strategies for services, ML models, and data jobs.
- Automate infrastructure scaling and deployments, autoscaling for GPU and CPU workloads, capacity planning, and cost controls that keep our cloud spend proportional to value.
- Embed security into the ...
