Software Engineer 3

About the Role

We're looking for a Software Engineer 3 to help build the next-generation inference platform that supports embedding models used for semantic search, retrieval, and AI-native experiences in [REDACTED] Atlas.

You'll join the broader Search and AI Platform organization and collaborate with ML researchers and engineers from our [REDACTED] acquisition. Together, we're building infrastructure for real-time, low-latency, and high-scale inference — fully integrated with Atlas and designed for developer-first experiences.

As a Software Engineer 3, you'll focus on building core systems and services that power model inference at scale. You'll own key components of the infrastructure, work across teams to ensure tight integration with Atlas, and contribute to a platform designed for reliability, performance, and ease of use.

This role is based in Palo Alto, CA or Seattle, WA with an in-office or hybrid work model.

What You'll Do

• Design and build components of a multi-tenant inference platform integrated directly with [REDACTED] Atlas, supporting semantic search and hybrid retrieval
• Collaborate with AI engineers and researchers to productionize inference for embedding models and rerankers — enabling both batch and real-time use cases Contribute to platform capabilities such as latency-aware routing, model versioning, health monitoring, and observability
• Improve performance, autoscaling, GPU utilization, and resource efficiency in a cloud-native environment
• Work across product, infrastructure, and ML teams to ensure the inference platform meets the scale, reliability, and latency demands of Atlas users
• Gain hands-on experience with tools like vLLM and container orchestration with Kubernetes
