We have contributed to leading open-source research, models, and datasets to advance the frontier of AI, and our team has been behind technological advancement such as FlashAttention, Hyena, FlexGen, and RedPajama. We invite you to join a passionate group of researchers and engineers in our journey in building the next generation AI infrastructure.

As a Senior Developer Productivity Engineer at Together AI, you’ll own the systems and tooling that empower engineers to ship high-quality software faster. You’ll optimize workflows, enhance testing, enable reliable and reusable CI/CD, and work with developers to build out stable local environments. Your work will directly impact release velocity, developer happiness, and cross-cutting enablement ensuring engineers spend less time churning on infrastructure and more time building.

Responsibilities

• Automate CI/CD pipelines for zero-downtime deployments (e.g., Canary, Blue/Green).
• Create smart pipelines encouraging reusable workflows and simplicity
• Streamline build/test/deploy workflows.
• Build shared tooling (CLIs, codegen, IDE plugins) to accelerate teams.
• Reduce friction (e.g., faster builds, hot-reload, test tooling).
• Collaborate with developers to identify pain points and streamline workflows.
• Champion best practices through documentation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field or 5+ years of industry experience in DevOps/SRE, developer tooling, or infrastructure engineering.
• Proficiency in Python, Go, and JavaScript/TypeScript (for tooling, automation, and FE enablement).
• Strong experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Gitops methodology) for building scalable, reusable pipelines.
• Experience with local dev environment tooling (e.g., Skaffold) and containerized development workflows
• Experience with creating starter templates in coordination with engineering for enabling rapid spin up of new services
• Strong ownership and a builder mindset, you love creating tools others rely on.
• Problem-solving rigor and attention to detail (e.g., diagnosing flaky tests, build latency).

Nice to have

• Kubernetes expertise (EKS, K3s) and optimizing containerized builds.
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi).
• Front-end tooling familiarity (e.g., React, Next.js, Jest) to optimize FE dev workflows.
• Monitoring/observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Honeycomb) to debug bottlenecks.
