Senior Platform Engineer

What we're looking for

We need someone with 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building and maintaining production distributed systems, who has deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, and DevOps practices. You should be comfortable owning systems end to end—from architecture and implementation through deployment and on-call operation—and have a track record of designing and operating large-scale, reliable platforms. Bonus points if you have experience working in FedRAMP or other federal/regulated environments.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and operate the data and infrastructure platform that powers Clearview AI's facial recognition system, handling petabyte-scale data ingestion into object storage and indexing it into databases and vector stores for fast retrieval
• Take ownership of large-scale storage and retrieval architecture, making deliberate tradeoffs between hot and cold storage tiers, distributed databases, and high-throughput messaging/streaming systems
• Run and scale containerized services on container orchestration platforms, deploying through declarative configuration and GitOps workflows across multiple environments
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and DevOps tooling that enables engineers to ship safely and frequently
• Operate within and help maintain compliant federal environments (e.g., FedRAMP), ensuring the platform remains secure, auditable, and reliable
• Troubleshoot, debug, and tune systems across the full stack—from application code down to storage and networking—while mentoring other engineers through code review, pairing, and technical guidance
