Rubin Observatory / SLAC | Menlo Park, CA REMOTE (US) | SRE / Software Engineer | Full-time

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile is a new world-class astronomy facility designed to create a 10-year time-lapse map of the southern sky. Featuring the world’s largest digital camera it emits 20GB of raw pixels per minute, and we are developing the Prompt Processing System that will distribute an alert on every astrophysical object that has moved, changed or appeared in real-time. (https://rubinobservatory.org/news/first-alerts)

This appointment is based at SLAC, a DOE-funded national laboratory hosting the data facility and many of the 80 scientists and engineers of the world-wide Rubin Data Management team. (https://www6.slac.stanford.edu/)

Keep Rubin's Alert Stream flowing. We are hiring an SRE to own the reliability of our Prompt Processing Framework, a Kubernetes-based, event-driven system using KEDA, Redis Streams, Kafka, and Postgres to scale near-real-time processing. You’ll write software to improve resilience, operate and evolve core infrastructure services, and build the monitoring, alerting, and on-call practices that keep the system robust and reliable during nightly observing operations.

Stack: Python, Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, Kafka, Redis, KEDA, InfluxDB, PostgreSQL, Cassandra.

krea.ai | Senior Backend Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | https://www.krea.ai

krea does AI research & builds AI tools for image generation, video generation, node-based workflows, LoRA training, and more. Small, mostly in-person team with a view of Alcatraz from the office window. Our users range from hobbyists all the way to professional designers at Apple or architects at firms behind The World Trade Center or Burj Khalifa.

We're looking for senior backend engineers. You'd work across our SvelteKit app (Postgres, Redis, Docker, ClickHouse), Python ML inference on GPU clusters, and k8s clusters across multiple cloud and GPU providers.

Some recent projects:

- building canary deploys with cookie-sticky traffic splitting - implementing durable execution for long-running workflows - designing our public API with OpenAPI docs auto-generated from Zod schemas - implementing enterprise-grade authentication, authorization, and permissions - optimizing ML inference for our hosted image generation models

We care way more about first-principles and core engineering skills rather than specific shenanigans around programming languages or particular tooling—knowing a lot about old UNIX principles is a plus though.

You should be comfortable owning things end-to-end. Experience with GPU infra is a plus. Many of us have some kind of creative background, it helps when building tools for creatives but is not a requirement by any means.

To apply, email d+hn@krea.ai (use the +hn suffix to make sure your email is prioritized!)
