Software Engineer - Infrastructure

Menlo Park, California

We’re looking for candidates with a proven track record in software engineering. The role entails actively building our key products and enterprise solutions, including developing user-oriented code and documentation to support our clients and partners. You’ll also be working in tandem with our research team to materialize innovations into products.

What we expect from you at MK1

  • You thrive on challenges of any size, excelling in identifying and solving complex problems with the same enthusiasm and confidence, regardless of their scale.
  • Execution is key. You recognize the value of detailed planning and design, yet you know the end goal is creating something reliable and effective.
  • When a problem arises, you’re committed to seeing it through from start to finish, learning whatever you need along the way.
  • You have a good intuition to evaluate off-the-shelf solutions and are not afraid to innovate when existing tools don’t meet your needs.

What we think might make you thrive at MK1:

  • You should have a Bachelor’s or a higher degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or bring to the table 4+ years of relevant experience in developing and scaling production systems. If you held a past role as an Infrastructure Engineer, Data Engineer, MLOps or DevOps Engineer, this position might be suitable for you.
  • Demonstrated skills in programming in Bash, Python, C and C++ are crucial. Knowledge of Rust is a bonus.
  • Familiarity with tools like CMake, Kubernetes and cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure is beneficial.
  • Additional experience in high-performance computing, cryptography, open-source contributions, or roles in early-stage startups or as a founder will be highly regarded.
