Staff Backend Software Engineer: Streaming

Archetype AI is developing the world's first AI platform to bring AI into the real world. They are seeking a highly motivated backend engineer with extensive experience in designing and developing performant, scalable, and resilient data streaming services to optimize their real-time AI platform.

Responsibilities:

• Architect, implement, and maintain real-time data streaming systems that support high-throughput, low-latency data services (e.g. sensor data edge-to-cloud streaming)
• Continuously optimize real-time streaming performance from client-to-cloud for a wide range of real-time sensor data types (e.g. video, time series, sensor logs, lidar, radar, audio)
• Build tooling and observability to monitor system health, identify bottlenecks, and proactively resolve instability
• Introduce new techniques, architectures, and best practices to push the limits of scalability, efficiency, and reliability
• Own problems end-to-end—from design to deployment—with a strong bias toward quality, automation, and continuous improvement
• Balance rapid iteration on early-stage systems with long-term maintainability and architectural soundness
• Contribute to a culture of engineering excellence, mentorship, and team-first collaboration
