Software Engineer (Human Data Platforms)

About this role

Job Title: Software Engineer (Human Data Platforms)
Job Type: Full-time
Location: Remote (Must overlap PST timezone at least 6-8 hours)
The Role
Build and ship systems across the stack — APIs, UI, and data pipelines.
You’ll work on data and document infrastructure that powers model evaluation, secure data handling, and complex document workflows. Expect to move fast, own problems end-to-end, and operate with high autonomy in a small, senior team.
What You’ll Do

Ship features across backend (Python/FastAPI) and frontend (React/Next.js/TypeScript).

Build data pipelines for evaluation and model control layers.

Own secure document pipelines (S3/GCS/Azure, permissions, no data leakage).

Develop OCR + search systems for PDFs, images, and scanned docs.

Parse and enforce complex nested JSON structures.

Build document tooling (generate, edit, annotate PDFs/images).

Debug and scale pipelines and storage systems.

Improve performance, reliability, and system design across the stack.

What We’re Looking For

Strong builder with Python (FastAPI) + React experience.

Comfortable working across the stack.

Solid fundamentals: APIs, SQL, async systems, data modeling.

Experience with cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure).

Ability to work with complex data systems or pipelines.

High ownership, low ego, fast execution.

Preferred

LLM / AI system experience.

OCR, document processing, or search systems.

Experience with secure data handling / permissions.

Built and shipped real systems (not just tutorials).
