Software Engineer - Compute Platform at Artera in Remote

About Us: Artera is an AI startup that develops medical artificial intelligence tests to personalize therapy for cancer patients. Artera is on a mission to personalize medical decisions for patients and physicians on a global scale.

Compute Infrastructure is at the core of Artera's products - using AI to interpret gigapixel-scale images of tissue biopsies to make predictions about cancer therapy, as well as rapidly developing new AI models for global deployment. As a Software Engineer on the Platform Engineering team, you'll work alongside fellow Platform Engineers to develop tools and services that improve developer experience, security, and productivity through self-service capabilities and automated infrastructure operations. You'll closely collaborate with AI scientists, ML engineers, and software developers to design, build, and maintain the infrastructure that powers everything Artera does at scale.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain compute infrastructure programmatically (AWS Kubernetes/EKS, AWS ECS, Lambda, and EC2) that powers Artera's AI products at scale.
• Work closely with stakeholders to define and refine the platform's architecture, ensuring scalability, observability, reliability, and performance.
• Build out core infrastructure, tooling, and software development processes.
• Work closely with machine learning engineers to optimize training and inference workflows with efficiency and cost in mind.
• Contribute to a range of platform engineering projects, from one-off solutions to long-term systems.
• Contribute to cloud infrastructure security tools and services.

Experience Requirements:

• 2+ years managing containerized infrastructure at scale with a strong security mindset.
• 3+ years building services and tools using Python with a software engineering mindset.
• 2+ years building infrastructure automation solutions using Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, AWS CDK).
• Experience with AWS storage services: S3, EFS, FSx.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines.
• Demonstrated integrity and consideration for appropriate data governance when working with sensitive, confidential data.

Desired:

• Experience with infrastructure observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog).
• Experience supporting ML/AI workloads — GPU instance management, training cluster optimization, batch inference pipelines.
• Familiarity with cost optimization strategies for cloud compute at scale.
• Experience with secrets management and cloud security tooling (e.g., AWS IAM, Vault, KMS).
• Contributions to internal developer tooling or platform libraries consumed by cross-functional teams.
