About the Role

As a Member of Technical Staff [Platform] at NeoCognition, you’ll design and build the internal systems that power everything we do — from research experiments to product deployments. You’ll create the tooling, infrastructure, and developer experience that enable our team to iterate rapidly, deploy confidently, and scale intelligently.

This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure engineering, developer tooling, and MLOps. You’ll collaborate closely with research scientists and software engineers to ensure that our data, model, and product workflows are robust, reproducible, and efficient.

Responsibilities

- Design, build, and maintain the core infrastructure supporting our research and product environments (cloud compute, storage, CI/CD pipelines, observability, security).

- Develop and manage internal developer tools, automation systems, and shared libraries that accelerate productivity across teams.

- Build reliable systems for data management, model experimentation, evaluation, and deployment in both research and production contexts.

- Define and evolve our build, test, and release workflows, ensuring seamless integration from prototype to production.

- Implement and monitor observability and performance metrics across services and pipelines.

- Collaborate closely with research and product teams to diagnose bottlenecks, optimize workflows, and ensure reproducibility of results.

- Contribute to infrastructure strategy and architecture, helping shape how we scale as the company grows.

There are three buckets of work. The first is the agent harness itself – building, implementing, and experimenting on the agent system and its memory. That is where the product people sit. It naturally bridges into the second bucket, which is the backend serving layer: hosting the agent, availability, tracking, security, networking, scaling. That is the platform side. The third bucket is the ML and language model research arm – training, data collection, evaluations – which is the research role.
