What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Backend Engineer position at Tensorlake.ai?
Tensorlake is building a distributed data processing platform for developers building Generative AI applications. Our product, Indexify(), enables building continuously evolving knowledge bases and indexes for Large Language Model applications by allowing structured data or embedding extraction algorithms on any unstructured data.
We are building a server-less product on top of Indexify that allows users to build real time extraction pipelines for unstructured data. The extracted data and indexes would be directly consumed by AI Applications and LLMs to power business and consumer applications.
We are looking for folks who love to work in the intersection of information retrieval, large-scale distributed systems, and artificial intelligence for content understanding. Being able to design and implement robust backends from the ground up, and knowledge of operating infrastructure is a must-have criterion in this role.
Responsibilities
As a founding backend engineer at Tensorlake, you will be involved in designing the serverless platform. You will participate in discussions with our customers to understand requirements around performance, security and operability of the platform.
