About Qarik Group

Co-founded by Google Cloud Engineering leaders, Qarik Group is a leading IT Solutions company specializing in Google Cloud Platform. We've grown to 100 employees in less than three years and continue to attract top-tier clients. We are an engineer-driven company where your expertise is truly valued and maximized. Unlike traditional models, where consultants can remain long beyond project completion, we enter our engagements with the end goal in mind. Core to our ethos is the ability to solve complex problems and teach clients to do the same.

About the Role

We are seeking an accomplished Senior Software Engineer proficient in Python to join our team building bleeding-edge Generative AI applications using Large Language Models (LLMs) for structured and unstructured data for summarization, classification, and question-answering.

Key Responsibilities

  • Contribute ideas and lead the implementation of features to enhance product functionality.
  • Mentor junior software engineers, perform code reviews, and participate in joint design sessions.
  • Provide technical guidance, sharing knowledge on development and operations with team members.
  • Engage with client teams to set goals, design solutions, and implement processes aligned with modern engineering practices for reliable operation of business-critical systems.
  • Participate in a rotational support capacity for production systems in an SRE role.
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement, focusing on increasing developer productivity, code velocity, and overall quality.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 9+ years of software development experience, with strong skills in Python.
  • Experience in designing and implementing cloud-native applications, microservices architecture, and understanding of distributed systems.
  • Experience with using relational and document databases.
  • Experience in software lifecycle best practices.
  • Demonstrated ability in scaling applications and understanding time/space complexity.
  • Understanding of troubleshooting and reductionist techniques in software development.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including Cloud Run, GKE, Firestore, and CloudSQL. Alternatively, experience with similar services on AWS or Azure.
  • Large Language Model development stack (LangChain, Google PaLM, etc.)
  • CI/CD automation and orchestration (Jenkins, Github Actions, Cloud Build, or similar).
  • Infrastructure actuation/automation (Terraform or similar).

Personal Attributes

  • Passion for quality, good design, and clean code.
  • Engineering mindset/developer background.
  • Strong sense of ownership and teamwork.
  • Curious, always learning to get better.
  • Excellent communication skills.

Desired Work Environment

Why Qarik Group?

  • We offer a competitive employee compensation and outstanding benefits package.
  • The job is fully remote with work hours and vacation flexibility for work/life balance.
  • You will work on a team where people respect each other, have a shared goal of customer success, and work together instead of competing against each other or counting the lines of code or number of PRs to meet personal annual OKRs. Most of your teammates think this is the best team they have ever worked on so far in their careers.
  • We are using the latest AI tech and pushing the boundaries possible, constantly learning new stuff and creating new cool things together.

Qarik Group is an Equal Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.
