Lead Software Engineer, Platform (US)

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer with 5+ years of experience to own and strengthen the core document processing platform at Reducto. You'll be someone who has seen what mature systems look like at scale, ideally at companies like Stripe, Ramp, or Robinhood, and is ready to bring that expertise to a fast-growing AI startup. This role is about making the nuts and bolts work beautifully: ensuring customer jobs run fast and reliably, optimizing how models are served, and driving cost efficiency across distributed systems. You'll work closely with ML engineers and take on-call responsibility as part of a small, high-impact platform team.

What you will be doing

• Owning and improving the core platform that runs customer document processing jobs, ensuring speed, reliability, and cost efficiency at scale

• Working with ML teams to figure out how to serve in-house models efficiently and integrate them into production pipelines

• Building and maintaining infrastructure including databases, task orchestration, workload scheduling, and cloud deployments

• Driving improvements to distributed systems, tackling latency, reliability, and scaling challenges as volume grows

• Participating in on-call rotations and taking ownership of platform health end-to-end
