Key skills for this role
Our mission is to reshape design by streamlining the path from concept to creation, bringing more impactful ideas into the physical world.
We’re well-funded (Series B $51m to date), growing double-digits MoM, and expanding the core engineering team in SF. The surface area is big: realtime collaboration, GPU inference at scale, a modern TypeScript stack, and serving real enterprise
As the Senior Software Engineer – Backend (Systems / Infrastructure) yYou’ll architect and deliver backend systems that keep Vizcom fast, reliable, and scalable as our workload and customer base grow. You’ll work on everything from queueing GPU workloads to optimizing GraphQL resolvers and streaming realtime events . You’ll have deep ownership over APIs, performance, and data integrity — while collaborating with frontend and AI teams to enable magical experiences. Within your first 90 days you will: ship one critical backend feature (e.g., model queue, caching layer, or realtime service), reduce p95 latency in one major API path by ~30%, Author one technical RFC proposing an improvement to architecture or reliability, Implement or document one observability improvement (metrics, traces, alerts).
