## Description

The Infrastructure team at Perplexity builds and operates the foundational systems behind the company's products. This role is for strong infrastructure engineers whose experience spans multiple domains and who are energized by cross-cutting problems that do not fit neatly within a single platform team.

You will own cross-cutting infrastructure problems that span compute, storage, networking, data, deployment, and reliability.

Key responsibilities include:

- Owning cross-cutting infrastructure problems

- Designing, building, and operating distributed infrastructure

- Identifying gaps between existing platforms and building shared abstractions, automation, and tooling

- Improving system performance, availability, scalability, and cost-efficiency

- Debugging complex production issues and turning findings into durable architectural improvements

- Setting technical direction for complex infrastructure systems and leading high-impact programs

Qualifications:

- 4+ years of professional software engineering experience

- A track record of owning complex production systems end to end and delivering sustained technical impact

- Demonstrated ability to set technical direction and lead through influence

- Strong software engineering skills in Python or other systems or backend languages

- Meaningful experience across at least two infrastructure domains
