Senior engineer responsible for designing and building high-performance data systems for scalable AI data platform infrastructure.
О компании
- is the universal data layer for AI. Our platform indexes, curates, annotates and evaluates multimodal data across the full AI lifecycle, from development to production, for 300+ AI teams including Woven by Toyota, AXA, UiPath and Zipline.
- was founded by former computer scientists, physicists and quants who saw first-hand how poor tooling for training data slows AI progress. We're a Series C company backed by CRV and Y Combinator, with 150+ people across London, San Francisco and New York.
Обязанности
- Most engineers never get to redesign core infrastructure for the next 100x of scale. On Foundations, that's the job.
- AI teams are generating video, images, 3D sensor data and documents faster than anyone's systems can keep up. Help us build the high-performance data systems behind the AI data platform for robotics and beyond.
- Own significant projects in our data systems end to end: design, architecture, deployment, monitoring and measuring the impact you made
- Build distributed systems that stay fast and correct under load, and reason carefully about every way they can fail
- Shape performant protocols and APIs, that customers build directly on top of
- Find simple solutions to complex domains at scale, and know when boring technology wins
- Raise the bar for everyone around you through code reviews, pairing and sharing what you know
Требования
- Fluency in at least one high level (Python, Typescript), and one imperative statically typed (Rust, C++, Java, Go, or other)
- Solid grounding in distributed systems concepts (databases, replication, partitioning, queuing, caching, consistency) and how they behave under load
- Deep understanding of CS fundamentals, data structures and algorithms
- Experience owning services in production and improving quality through code reviews, testing, rollout and monitoring

- You'll join Foundations, the backend backbone of . We build the reliable, scalable, fast systems every other team and every customer runs on. The work sits deep in distributed and data-intensive systems: storage, indexing, querying and processing multimodal data at a scale few companies ever reach.
- The timing is rare. A year ago we were a team of 100; now we're over 150 and still accelerating, driven by massive demand. We are building the team to unlock our next orders of magnitude of scale and capability.
- Scale that's genuinely hard. Multimodal AI data is big, messy and growing fast. You'll solve problems most backend engineers only read about.
- Real ownership. You'll own whole systems, not tickets, and the architectural calls are yours to make.
- Work that ships. Your systems power 300+ AI teams, including Woven by Toyota, AXA, UiPath and Zipline.
- Long-term thinking. A team that plans 24 months out and gives you room to build things properly.
- The right moment. A Series C company growing fast, early enough that your decisions shape the platform for years.
- You've seen and built a lot. You have personally developed and maintained multiple systems from scratch, and you know what trade-offs are involved in building reliable, performant software at speed
- You combine rigorous engineering with ruthless prioritisation to ship efficient and correct systems quickly.
- You're happy to tackle problems without a predefined, clear definition or obvious solution, and are excited to have autonomy to make decisions as you go
- You understand that being a member of a high-performing team requires two things. You contribute your best work and help others contribute their best. You'll always lend a helping hand when needed and level up those around you
- Competitive salary, commission, and meaningful equity in a high-growth startup
- Strong in-person culture — most of the team works from our London office 4+ days/week
- 25 days annual leave + UK public holidays
- Annual learning & development budget
- Travel for customer visits, events, and conferences across the UK and Europe
- Company lunches twice a week
- Monthly socials & bi-annual team offsites
