Senior Software Engineer at Swim Recruiting — NeverHard

Are you the kind of engineer who wants to build the infrastructure other services run on and not just ship features? Become a Senior Software Engineer and build the backend cloud services of a next-generation AI compute platform at scale, with purpose, and with real ownership. This is a great opportunity to join a technically ambitious team where your work has direct, company-wide impact from day one. You will be in a newly created role to build the foundational backend systems powering a next-generation AI cloud platform. You will be part of a fast-paced, high-performing team at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure technology. Join a team building GPU-powered infrastructure powered by 100% renewable energy. What & Why: A rapidly growing AI cloud infrastructure company is expanding its software engineering team and needs a Senior Software Engineer to design and build the backend cloud services that power their AI compute. If owning production systems end-to-end and operating at the infrastructure layer excites you, this is a great opportunity. Please note this role specializes in building systems that other services run on. It is not the right fit for someone who is primarily a features developer. Who: Our client is a technology company operating at the intersection of high-performance computing and sustainable infrastructure, with facilities across North America. They build and run their own data centers and take a vertically integrated approach to delivering AI cloud services at scale. The engineering culture is pragmatic, fast-moving, and deeply invested in the quality and reliability of the systems that underpin daily operations. This hybrid role (3 days per week on-site) is based in downtown Vancouver but open to the right candidates outside of BC. They have a start-up culture that values inclusiveness and a proactive approach to overcoming new challenges. You: You will bring the following education, skills and experience to the role: Must be able to work independently and navigate the challenges of a fast-paced start-up environment, focusing on finding solutions rather than just identifying problems. 5+ years of experience building and operating production-grade software systems Strong proficiency in at least one systems or backend language: Go, Python, Rust, or Node Deep understanding of distributed systems fundamentals — concurrency, consistency, and fault tolerance Hands-on experience designing and operating API-driven services (REST, gRPC) Proven experience deploying and managing services on Kubernetes Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tooling (e.g. Terraform) Experience with cloud platforms (AWS and/or GCP) including compute, networking, and IAM Compensation: Up to $155,000 + competitive incentive program Next Steps: If the sound of this opportunity excites you, and you’re confident that it’s a good fit for your experience and career goals, then we’d love to hear from you!
