backpressure jobs in San Diego

Staff Engineer responsible for designing, building, and operating the Forge Platform—a distributed-systems foundation serving autonomy, ML, simulation, and test teams. You will architect cloud-native backend infrastructure, establish reusable platform capabilities, define technical standards, and remain hands-on in production troubleshooting, performance analysis, and reliability improvement.…See more Required: deep expertise in production distributed systems, Go and Python, workflow orchestration, and the ability to translate complex architecture into usable interfaces across multiple downstream teams.

Build and optimize a high-throughput compute stack for reliable, production-grade data ingestion, processing, storage, and delivery. The role focuses on making stateful, multi-threaded pipelines fast and observable under real-world constraints—profiling bottlenecks, hardening recovery behavior, and productizing machine-learning models (neural networks, tree-based, unsupervised) to meet performance, reliability, and quality standards.…See more You will work alongside algorithm and infrastructure engineers, using measurements to drive performance improvements and ensure production interfaces remain durable as the system evolves. Requires strong systems-level experience with concurrency, I/O, and production debugging in C++, Rust, CUDA, or C; a track record of shipping production software; and hands-on expertise in resilient data pipelines and GPU computing.
