• Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to ensure infrastructure reliably supports complex evaluation scenarios and outcome metrics.
• Driving engineering best practices, including code reviews, comprehensive testing, and technical design documentation.
• Monitoring system performance, investigating bottlenecks, and ensuring high reliability of orchestration systems.

What You’ll Add to DigitalOcean:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience building highly concurrent, fault-tolerant distributed systems.
• Deep proficiency in Python and Go (or strong experience in C++/Java with a willingness to master Python and Go quickly).
• Hands-on experience with durable workflow orchestration engines for managing distributed state and long-running asynchronous tasks.
• Strong working knowledge of containerization, virtualization, or secure workload isolation technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, or microVMs).
• Experience building resilient APIs and handling high-throughput event or message data.
• A strong sense of ownership, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in a globally distributed team.
• AI/ML Ecosystem Awareness: While you do not need to be an ML researcher, you possess a strong foundational understanding of interacting with LLM APIs, prompt constraints, and the unique architectural challenges of testing non-deterministic systems.
