We are looking for an experienced Staff Backend Engineer with deep expertise in backend engineering, Go proficiency, advanced software development skills, and proven capabilities in architecting scalable platforms tailored for AI and ML workloads. As a core technical leader, you'll influence strategic decisions, partner closely with the founding team, and play a critical role in shaping Activeloop's AI infrastructure.

What You Will Be Doing

Architect and Develop: Design and build scalable backend infrastructure optimized for high-performance AI and ML workloads, ensuring robustness and maintainability.
Lead Feature Development: Own end-to-end delivery of key product features, from initial concept through deployment and support.
Innovate APIs and Microservices: Define efficient RESTful APIs and microservice architectures tailored to customer-driven use cases.
Scale Distributed Systems: Implement systems designed for high-throughput, low-latency, large-scale data processing.
Enhance Scalability: Drive strategic evolution of system architecture to proactively handle future scalability and performance demands.
Implement CI/CD Pipelines: Develop streamlined CI/CD workflows for rapid testing, deployment, and feature iteration.
Collaborate with Technical Leadership: Directly influence engineering strategy and roadmap decisions through close collaboration with the technical leadership.
Mentor engineers, establish development best practices, and continuously improve engineering processes.

We provide a simple API for creating, storing, versioning, and collaborating on multi-modal AI datasets of any size. With Activeloop's open-core stack, you can rapidly transform and stream data while training models at scale. Deep Lake powers foundational model training by acting as a vector database with significant benefits, such as (1) the ability to use multi-modal datasets to fine-tune your own LLM models, (2) storing both the embeddings and the original data with automatic version control, so no embedding re-computation is needed (3) truly serverless service with no vendor lock-in. How cool is that?

GitHub loves us - we're one of the fastest-growing libraries there, and we're used by little-known companies like Google, Waymo, and Intel. No big deal.

Our founding team hails from places like Princeton, Stanford, Google, and Tesla, and we're backed by Y Combinator & other Silicon Valley heavyweights.

Activeloop is hiring, and we want you! Check out our open roles on our YC page and join the fun.
