Software Engineer (AI Platforms)

About SingleStore

At SingleStore, we’re not just building a database company, we’re defining the future of data management. Going beyond multi-cloud, we offer customers flexible networking, storage, and compute options to meet their requirements. With a few clicks, our cloud service spins up production grade infrastructure using the latest capabilities of major cloud providers and the industry standard Kubernetes ecosystem.

As data systems evolve, the “database” is no longer just where queries run, it’s becoming the foundation for realtime AI applications: retrieval, reasoning, agent workflows, and intelligent automation over enterprise data. That’s the direction we’re building toward.

About the AI Platform Team

We build the software platform that powers AI native experiences across SingleStore: AI/ML capabilities, agent runtimes, tool integration, and the operational layer required to run these systems reliably at scale. Our work sits at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and practical applied AI.

This team is not “pure research”, it’s engineering heavy. You’ll build product grade systems that let customers safely and reliably use AI on their data.

Role Summary

We are looking for a Software Engineer to design and implement core platform capabilities for AI/ML and AI Agents in SingleStore Cloud. You’ll work on services that enable model/tool orchestration (e.g.  MCP style tool discovery and execution), agent workflows, retrieval pipelines (embeddings/vector search), evaluation/observability, and secure multi tenant operations.

You will likely find yourself using Go and Python, Kubernetes, cloud primitives, and the right tools for the job,  while applying solid AI/ML fundamentals to make correct engineering decisions.

Role and Responsibilities

• Build and evolve backend services that power AI features: agent orchestration, tool execution, retrieval/RAG pipelines, and model serving integrations.
• Design APIs and control plane workflows for AI platform components (tenant-aware, secure by default, observable).
• Implement MCP style tool discovery / integration patterns so agents can safely call tools, connectors, and internal services.
• Work closely with product managers, designers, customers, and partner engineering teams to deliver high quality AI experiences.
• Engineer for reliability and scale: latency, cost controls, rate limiting, fallbacks, rollouts, and incident response readiness.
• Establish best practices around evaluation: offline test sets, regression detection, prompt/model/version tracking, and quality gates.
• Contribute to secure AI by design approaches: permissions, data access boundaries, prompt injection defenses, and auditability.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a welcoming, high ownership team environment.

Required Skills and Experience

This is a software engineering role that requires strong fundamentals plus working knowledge of AI/ML concepts.

• Strong software engineering skills with experience in distributed systems (Go, Python, or similar).
• Experience building cloud native services: Kubernetes, containers, service-to-service APIs, CI/CD.
• 4+ years of experience working on a SaaS product or production platform.
• Solid understanding of AI/ML fundamentals (you don’t need to be a researcher, but you should understand concepts well enough to build correct systems):
• Supervised learning basics (training vs inference, overfitting, evaluation metrics, classification, anomaly detection, forecasting, regression etc.)
• LLM basics (tokens, context windows, prompting, tool/function calling concepts)
• Embeddings + vector search fundamentals (similarity, indexing tradeoffs, retrieval pitfalls)
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, including incident-style troubleshooting across services and infrastructure.
• Intellectual curiosity about investigating issues that impact product quality, reliability, latency, and business metrics.
• Passion for building robust, maintainable systems in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

Nice to Have (Preferred)

• Hands on experience with AI agents and orchestration frameworks (tool calling, workflows, planners/executors).
• Practical experience with RAG systems, reranking, grounding, and evaluation strategies.
• Experience with model serving patterns (batch/online inference, caching, streaming responses).
• Knowledge of security considerations for AI systems (data isolation, RBAC, prompt injection threats, audit logs).
• Familiarity with vector databases or vector capabilities in modern data platforms.
• Experience with observability stacks (structured logging, metrics, tracing) and SLO driven engineering.

Tech Stack

Go, Python, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, APIs, and modern AI tooling (LLM providers, embeddings, retrieval systems, eval/observability pipelines), ML tooling.

Position Overview

The Software Engineer (Cloud Foundations) will work on core product systems using Kubernetes, Go, and Python. This role emphasizes end-to-end ownership, from concept to observability, across the stack. We use Terraform for repeatable, safe, infrastructure-as-code installations, including our bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) offering. The ideal candidate values deep troubleshooting and holistic system ownership.

You will contribute reviewed code, pair with experienced engineers, and have a dedicated mentor. Interns do not hold the production pager neither on-call. Early weeks are for onboarding; mid-term involves owning a concrete ticket/mini-project; and by the end, a demo or résumé write-up is expected.

The role involves hands-on use of industry-standard tools, containers, Kubernetes, Terraform IaC, and CI/CD with guardrails. You will practice debugging beyond local environments. Optional stretch work on areas like async jobs, ingress, or orchestration is available with senior engineers.

Role and Responsibilities

This internship offers hands-on experience within small, collaborative Platform and Infrastructure teams, with projects aligned with our actual shipping processes.

The role involves several key responsibilities and learning areas. Interns will apply and understand Kubernetes fundamentals, such as Deployments, Services, reading cluster state with kubectl, logs, and resource limits, including small manifest or Helm chart changes under review. They will contribute to our Go or Python services through backend development, focusing on bug fixes, test implementation, developing small Command Line Interface (CLI) subcommands, or adding features behind a flag. The initial focus may not be on developing new controllers. Interns will also gain exposure to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) by improving Terraform module variables or documentation, addressing environment drift in development or staging, or adding validation. Customer install scenarios are often simulated in a sandbox.

A core component is Cloud Provisioning and Operations, where interns learn the differences between our SaaS and customer-deployed infrastructure. Potential work includes improving installation documentation, enhancing diagnostics scripts, or developing internal tooling for customer clusters. They will also build essential Observability Practices by adding metrics, log fields, or trace spans, connecting them to dashboards, and documenting changes with short runbook notes.

For stretch opportunities, which will involve pairing with and review by a Staff Engineer, interns might work on a queue consumer, managing retry/idempotency logic, or building related admin tooling. They may also implement small ingress-related changes or touch upon emerging areas like proxying, task queues, and orchestration as we expand our cloud offerings.

Throughout the experience, the intern will practice owning a slice of work: clarifying requirements, implementing the solution, validating it in a cluster, and anticipating potential failure points—all within an appropriate intern scope. This involves writing and testing software, analyzing logs and dashboards, and cross-functional collaboration. Success will be measured by learning velocity, effective communication, and the contributions shipped, not by carrying sole responsibility for large-scale operations like regional failover.

Required Skills and Experience

• Pursuing a B.S. (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline, or demonstrable equivalent depth from projects and coursework

• Solid computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, and how programs fail in the real world)
• Strong programming skills in at least one of Go, Python, C++, or Rust, with willingness to work primarily in Go and Python on our codebase
• Comfortable with Git and a basic Linux command line
• Interest in puzzle-style debugging (for example: why did this workload restart?) without needing every answer on day one

Preferred skill and experience

• Coursework or projects touching operating systems, networking, concurrency, or distributed systems at a high level
• Exposure to Docker or containers, or hands-on use of a cloud provider free tier or class account
• High-level intuition for how the internet works (HTTP, DNS in broad strokes)
• Any Terraform, Pulumi, or other IaC experience in a course, club, or personal project
• Familiarity with Kubernetes or Helm (even if shallow); we will teach depth and our control vs data plane layout on the job
• Interest in end-to-end ownership: describing how you would validate a change from laptop to cluster
