À propos de ce poste Member of Technical Staff, Software Engineer chez Fireworks AI

Fireworks AI · San Mateo, CA

About Us:

At Fireworks, we’re building the future of generative AI infrastructure. Our platform delivers the highest-quality models with the fastest and most scalable inference in the industry. We’ve been independently benchmarked as the leader in LLM inference speed and are driving cutting-edge innovation through projects like our own function calling and multimodal models. Fireworks is a Series C company valued at $4 billion and backed by top investors including Benchmark, Sequoia, Lightspeed, Index, and Evantic. We’re an ambitious, collaborative team of builders, founded by veterans of Meta PyTorch and Google Vertex AI.

The Role:

You’ll be a core builder of the backend systems that power Fireworks:

  • Our main web application
  • Model and fine-tuning job orchestration
  • Billing and enterprise features
  • Accounts, org management, access controls
  • Policy enforcement and governance
  • APIs and developer tooling
  • And many other cool things!

This is platform engineering with product impact. Your systems will directly shape how customers build on top of AI. You’ll work closely with product, frontend, infra, and GTM to ship end-to-end features — not just tickets.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build scalable backend services
  • Own major product surfaces from architecture to production
  • Improve reliability, performance, and developer experience
  • Work directly with customers to understand pain points
  • Ship enterprise-grade features without enterprise slowness
  • Use AI tooling aggressively — we expect you to automate yourself

You Might Be a Fit If

  • You like building real products, not just infrastructure for infrastructure’s sake
  • You enjoy driving initiatives across teams to get things done
  • You think in terms of systems, tradeoffs, and business impact
  • You care about developer experience and clean abstractions
  • You’re curious about AI and want to build where the future is going
  • You want ownership, not task lists

Minimum Qualifications

  • Comfortable collaborating with both humans and AI systems (Yes, We’re Serious)
  • 5+ years of experience helping humans solve real problems
  • 2+ years of working with AI — agents, bots, chats, or building on top of models

Total compensation for this role also includes meaningful equity in a fast-growing startup, along with a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package. Base salary is determined by a range of factors including individual qualifications, experience, skills, interview performance, market data, and work location. The listed salary range is intended as a guideline and may be adjusted.
