Software Engineer (Human Data Platforms)

Job Title: Software Engineer (Human Data Platforms)

Job Type: Full-time

Location: Remote (Must overlap PST timezone at least 6-8 hours)

The Role

Build and ship systems across the stack — APIs, UI, and data pipelines.

You’ll work on data and document infrastructure that powers model evaluation, secure data handling, and complex document workflows. Expect to move fast, own problems end-to-end, and operate with high autonomy in a small, senior team.

What You’ll Do

• Ship features across backend (Python/FastAPI) and frontend (React/Next.js/TypeScript).

• Build data pipelines for evaluation and model control layers.

• Own secure document pipelines (S3/GCS/Azure, permissions, no data leakage).

• Develop OCR + search systems for PDFs, images, and scanned docs.

• Parse and enforce complex nested JSON structures.

• Build document tooling (generate, edit, annotate PDFs/images).

• Debug and scale pipelines and storage systems.

• Improve performance, reliability, and system design across the stack.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong builder with Python (FastAPI) + React experience.

• Comfortable working across the stack.

• Solid fundamentals: APIs, SQL, async systems, data modeling.

• Experience with cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure).

• Ability to work with complex data systems or pipelines.

• High ownership, low ego, fast execution.

Preferred

• LLM / AI system experience.

• OCR, document processing, or search systems.

• Experience with secure data handling / permissions.

• Built and shipped real systems (not just tutorials).
