Senior Software Engineer (Infrastructure)

Company Description: Tavus - Series B AI video platform backed by Sequoia and CRV

Job Description:
Join Tavus to build the infrastructure powering real-time conversational AI video. You will own and scale GPU deployments across multiple cloud providers while maintaining a robust AWS backbone. As a cross-functional driver, you’ll bridge the gap between research and production, ensuring 100,000+ developers can deploy emotionally intelligent AI humans globally.

Why this role is remarkable:

• Work at the bleeding edge of generative AI with a team featuring experts from NVIDIA and world-class research scientists in affective computing.

• Scale complex GPU workloads for a platform that recently raised $40M in Series B funding led by CRV, with participation from Sequoia and Y Combinator.

• Impact the entire engineering org by building elite developer experiences and defining how real-time video generation scales globally across 30+ languages.

What you will do:

• Own and extend GPU infrastructure by partnering with specialized providers like CoreWeave, Cerebrium, and Baseten to ensure high availability for model deployments.

• Architect and maintain a reliable AWS/EKS backbone, building repeatable processes and internal tooling that empower backend and research teams to ship faster.

• Drive technical direction for infrastructure strategy, managing the transition of AI video generation from experimental novelty to mission-critical production systems.

The ideal candidate:

• Proven experience managing GPU cloud infrastructure at scale, either within an AI-native startup or at a specialized GPU cloud provider.

• Deep technical expertise in the AWS ecosystem and production Kubernetes (EKS), with a scrappy mindset for building simple, scalable, and automated systems.

• Exceptional communication skills to translate complex infrastructure requirements into actionable plans for research scientists, backend engineers, and external partners.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
