About the job
Fireworks is seeking a Member of Technical Staff, Software Engineer to join their team. This role involves building the core backend systems that power Fireworks' platform for specialized intelligence, enabling companies to build, train, and serve AI models tailored to their own data, workflows, and products. You will own major product surfaces from architecture to production, improving reliability, performance, and developer experience. This is platform engineering with product impact, where your systems will directly shape how customers build on top of AI.

Requirements
- Comfortable collaborating with both humans and AI systems
- 5+ years of experience helping humans solve real problems

- You enjoy driving initiatives across teams to get things done
- You think in terms of systems, tradeoffs, and business impact
- You care about developer experience and clean abstractions
- You’re curious about AI and want to build where the future is going
