Overview

We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science. We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world. World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached. Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team responsible for [Employer hidden]'s product platform and API. You should have experience growing high-performing engineering teams and be deeply interested in the intersection of product development, APIs, and distributed systems. You will manage our current and growing team of 5. You’ll have a chance to work closely with our product engineering, product management, and finance teams to build low-latency, high-reliability APIs for our AI-powered creation tools as well as the infrastructure to support them.

Technical Stack

Our API endpoints for real-time collaboration and media asset management is written in TypeScript, and runs in ECS containers on AWS Fargate. We leverage multiple AWS-native components, such as S3, CloudFront, Lambda, Kinesis, and SQS. Our inference backend is written in Python (PyTorch, TorchScript), deployed across multiple clusters/cloud providers. We use Kubernetes for container orchestration, and k8s-native components such as Flyte, Kueue, and Kyverno. We invest in Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring, and Terraform for infrastructure management.

What You’ll Do

• Drive platform strategy and architecture for our TypeScript-based API infrastructure
• Own the public API domain end-to-end, from technical architecture to revenue growth
• Manage our data and analytics infrastructure
• Lead and grow a team of 4-6 platform engineers
• Partner with Product Engineering teams to unblock new feature launches
• Own critical data pipelines and metrics
• Work cross-functionally with leadership

What You’ll Need

• 2+ years of engineering management or team lead experience
• 5+ years of hands-on engineering experience with TypeScript in the cloud
• Strong product sensibility and business acumen
• Experience owning revenue-generating platforms or products
• Solid foundation in data engineering and analytics
• Database expertise
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills
• Comfort with ambiguity and rapid iteration
• Empathetic and inclusive leadership style
