- Build tooling and bridges between Zig and Python to enable ML development and deployment workflows
- Optimize and scale ML inference pipelines, ensuring low latency and high throughput across massive volumes of ad traffic
- Collaborate cross-functionally with ML scientists, data engineers, and platform teams to bring new models and features to life
- Help define engineering best practices in a growing team and contribute to the long-term architecture of our platform
You’ll Be Successful in This Role if You Have/Are
- Strong experience writing high-performance systems code, ideally in Zig or similar low-level languages
- Deep understanding of computer systems, compilers, and performance tuning
- Proven ability to thrive in startups or high-growth environments—comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and rapid scaling
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially when documenting and discussing technical tradeoffs
