Hiring: Software Engineer, Infrastructure Company: Descript Location: San Francisco Bay Area Job Posted Time: 2026-09-10 10:13:06 Employment Type: Remote Target Skills & Keywords : CI/CD, GCP, IAM, Kubernetes, Spark About the job Experience: •8+ years building and operating production distributed systems, or equivalent server-side engineering with a heavy infrastructure focus. Required Skills: •Contribute to how models are trained and served here, as well as how agents work inside our codebase: the environments they run in, the verification that makes their output trustworthy, and the review paths that keep it all legible. Qualifications: •You have 8+ years building and operating production distributed systems, or equivalent server-side engineering with a heavy infrastructure focus. •You effectively leverage agents to multiply your impact and think critically about how and when to harness AI in your work. •You've run systems where failure was expensive, and your opinions about reliability and deployment come from consequences rather than reading. •You've carried a pager, commanded an incident, and rolled back before you understood why. •You use SLOs and error budgets as operating tools. •You’ve used a major cloud provider and Kubernetes in production, with infrastructure-as-code as your default. •You've owned an architecture or migration, from planning through launch, whose consequences outlived the project, and you can say what you'd do differently. •You've found important unowned work, scoped it, earned buy-in, and delivered it without being handed a spec. •You build a minimal repro, read the logs, and write targeted checks to prove a fix works instead of trusting output. •GPU and ML infrastructure: capacity planning, training or inference pipelines, serving cost and latency. If you haven't run a GPU fleet, experience with expensive capacity-constrained systems transfers well. Compensation: •$220,000 - $292,000 / year •Flexible work environment (work from home / hybrid options) •Base salary: $220,000 to $292,000, plus equity and benefits Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
