About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on, senior-level Data Infrastructure Engineer to architect and manage the real-time data systems that power an AI-driven storytelling platform. This is a ground-floor opportunity to help scale core infrastructure for a well-funded startup focused on democratizing creative expression through advanced generative AI.

You'll work side by side with product, AI, and engineering teams in a high-trust, high-collaboration environment to solve challenging data problems that directly impact user experience and content intelligence.
What You'll Do
  • Design, build, and maintain large-scale real-time data pipelines and streaming systems
  • Architect fault-tolerant, low-latency infrastructure for high-throughput use cases such as user telemetry, A/V data, and content analytics
  • Own the full data stack-from ingestion to transformation, monitoring, and visualization
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to inform product and AI features with reliable, actionable data
  • Optimize for reliability, scale, and observability across all critical data paths
Ideal Background
  • 5-10 years of experience in data engineering or infrastructure roles
  • Strong foundation in streaming technologies such as AWS Kinesis, SQS, or Kafka
  • Experience with modern data stacks: Redshift or Snowflake, Dagster or Airflow, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry
  • Fluent in Python and SQL; PostgreSQL experience preferred
  • Prior experience in fast-moving startups, especially those working with real-time data or consumer-facing AI features
  • Comfortable working in a highly collaborative, on-site team environment
Preferred Experience
  • Ownership of streaming data systems in production
  • Consumer platform experience (especially involving audio, video, or generative media)
  • Containerized environments with Docker and Kubernetes
  • Strong instincts around data quality, security, and performance

About the Company
Our platform enables users to generate cinematic short-form video and transmedia experiences with ease, using state-of-the-art generative AI. Backed by top-tier investors with $8.5M in funding, our 30-person team is building a new category in media creation-one that prioritizes imagination, co-creation, and scalability.
