Founding Engineer

A well-funded, high-growth Israeli infrastructure tech company engineering next-generation autonomous execution and optimization platforms for modern Cloud, Big Data, and AI workloads. Backed by tens of millions of dollars from premier venture capital funds and demonstrating rapid commercial validation with paying global customers, the company operates with an intimate, R&D-dense team of engineers. The platform leverages intelligent machine learning algorithms to autonomously monitor, orchestrate, and dynamically optimize complex cloud environments and compute pipelines in real time without human intervention. Located in the Central District within short walking distance of a major train hub, operating on a hybrid model with one day working from home. Role Description- Serving as a Senior Backend Infrastructure Engineer, joining the foundational Core R&D squad with direct architectural influence over the platform's central infrastructure layers. Architecting, developing, and scaling high-throughput, low-latency distributed backend microservices primarily in Python, designed to interact dynamically with complex cloud execution environments. Designing and implementing resilient distributed components and orchestration engines running natively on AWS. Engineering mission-critical backend systems to support large-scale telemetry ingestion, real-time optimization heuristics, and autonomous resource management pipelines. Collaborating closely with algorithmic researchers, distributed systems architects, and product engineering to turn autonomous cloud-orchestration paradigms into resilient production services. Driving best practices around code quality, system observability, performance profiling, and continuous deployment within an agile, high-velocity engineering squad. Requirements- Bachelor’s degree (B.Sc.) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical discipline OR an alumnus of an elite IDF technological unit – Mandatory 6+ years of dedicated professional backend software engineering experience building production-grade systems – Mandatory Proven, practical hands-on experience developing and deploying scalable backend services on AWS – Mandatory Deep, robust backend engineering capabilities in modern programming environments (Python strongly preferred; open to polyglot backend backgrounds transitioning into Python) – Mandatory Strong foundational understanding of distributed systems architectures, concurrency, and high-scale backend design patterns – Mandatory High degree of technical agility, independent problem-solving mindset in early-stage environments, and fluent communication in English (written and verbal) – Mandatory
