Job description

Clearview AI is the leading provider of facial recognition technologies to US law enforcement, state, and federal agencies. Our mission is to help our users solve crimes and prevent financial fraud with the responsible use of our facial recognition software. Our company is a high-octane, fast growing startup looking to hire enthusiastic and intelligent team members to join our team. To learn more about us, and our revolutionary facial recognition technology, please visit

Position Summary:

We are hiring a Senior Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate the data and infrastructure platform behind our facial recognition and data systems. This is a software-heavy, hands-on role for an engineer who is comfortable owning systems end to end, from architecture and implementation through deployment and on-call operation.

You will build pipelines that ingest petabyte-scale data into object storage and turn it into fast, queryable databases and vector stores, design large-scale storage and retrieval across hot and cold tiers, and run distributed services on container orchestration using declarative configuration and GitOps workflows. The platform runs in the cloud and operates within compliant federal environments, so reliability, security, and scale sit at the center of everything you build. We are looking for a strong distributed systems engineer with deep DevOps instincts who wants significant ownership and the autonomy to make sound technical tradeoffs.

Responsibilities:

Design, build, and operate the data and infrastructure platform that powers our facial recognition system

Build pipelines that ingest and store petabyte-scale data in object storage, then process and index it into databases and vector stores for fast retrieval

Design large-scale storage and retrieval systems, making deliberate choices between hot and cold storage tiers, distributed databases, and high-throughput messaging and streaming systems

Run and scale containerized services on a container orchestration platform, deploying them through declarative configuration and GitOps workflows across multiple environments

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and the DevOps tooling that lets engineers ship safely and often

Operate within and help maintain compliant federal environments such as FedRAMP, keeping the platform secure and auditable

Design and operate distributed systems with a focus on reliability, performance, and scale

Own complex infrastructure projects end to end, from design through deployment and on-call ownership, showing a high level of agency

Troubleshoot, debug, and tune systems across the stack, from application code down to storage and networking

Collaborate with our world class engineering team and contribute to and improve our engineering paradigms, processes, and tools

Mentor and support other engineers through code review, pairing, and technical guidance

Other reasonable additional responsibilities that may be asked from time to time

Requirements:

5+ years of professional software engineering experience building and maintaining production systems

Strong proficiency in one or more backend languages and a modern development ecosystem

Strong understanding of distributed systems, including their failure modes, consistency tradeoffs, and behavior at scale

Hands-on experience with AWS and running production workloads in the cloud

Hands-on experience with containers and container orchestration

Experience designing large-scale data storage and retrieval, including hot and cold storage strategies

Experience with databases across the spectrum, including relational, distributed, and vector databases

Strong DevOps foundation: CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and automated deployments

Solid grasp of computing fundamentals, data structures, and system design

BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Math or equivalent experience

Nice to have:

Experience working in FedRAMP or other federal or regulated environments

Experience operating distributed SQL databases in production

Experience with high-throughput messaging and streaming systems

Experience operating vector databases at scale for retrieval and similarity search

Experience with declarative configuration and GitOps-based continuous delivery

Experience ingesting and processing petabyte-scale datasets from object storage
