О компании и продукте

• Perplexity is looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to own and improve the backend systems behind our latency-sensitive search stack. You’ll work across high-QPS Rust and Go services, distributed retrieval systems, cloud infrastructure, observability, and deployment tooling.
• This role combines infrastructure expertise with software engineering. You’ll take systems from design through production operation and use AI-native tools where they meaningfully improve engineering and operational workflows

Задачи

• Build and operate scalable, low-latency infrastructure for search serving and retrieval
• Design and improve distributed backend systems that handle high request volumes
• Debug and optimize Linux systems, containers, networking, and production services
• Improve reliability through observability, capacity planning, performance profiling, and incident response
• Design, deploy, and operate cloud-native systems, primarily on AWS and Kubernetes
• Build internal tools and automation for development, testing, debugging, and infrastructure operations
• Improve CI/CD pipelines, release processes, and production rollout safety
• Contribute directly to product codebases across Rust, Go, and other systems languages
• Own systems end to end, from architecture and implementation to deployment and production operation

Требования

• Strong experience with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and automation
• Deep understanding of Linux internals, performance analysis, and production debugging
• Experience building or operating latency-sensitive, high-throughput backend systems
• Experience with containers, orchestration, observability, and infrastructure as code
• Experience building or maintaining CI/CD systems and release tooling
• Fluency in at least one systems language, such as Rust, Go, C++, or Java
• Comfort working across infrastructure and application-level code
• Strong ownership and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment

Будет плюсом

• Experience with search, retrieval, ranking, or other large-scale data-serving systems
• Experience operating Rust services in production
• Experience with AWS, Kubernetes, and modern observability systems
• Experience with profiling, capacity planning, and performance optimization
• Experience building AI-assisted developer or operational tooling
