Staff Network Engineer, App Platform

Negotiable

Scale GP (Scale Generative AI Platform) is Scale’s enterprise AI platform, providing APIs and infrastructure for knowledge retrieval, inference, evaluation, agents, and more. We deploy SGP across AWS, Azure, and GCP, often directly into customer-controlled cloud environments across highly regulated industries including healthcare, financial services, telecom, and retail. As SGP has grown in scale and complexity, networking has become a critical architectural discipline of its own. Today, teams routinely encounter the same hard problems — VPC design, routing, ingress and egress, private connectivity, service exposure, address-space constraints, firewall policies, and cross-environment communication — but solve them differently depending on the deployment. We’re looking for a Senior Network Engineer to establish the architectural standards for how SGP connects to customer infrastructure and how traffic moves throughout the platform. You’ll own network architecture across a large and rapidly growing fleet of Kubernetes environments spanning AWS, Azure, and GCP, with many deployed inside customer-owned cloud accounts and networks that we do not control. The constraints vary significantly: a commercial deployment behind a customer-managed API gateway; a hub-and-spoke enterprise network where the customer assigns our address space; a GovCloud environment protected by default-deny firewall policies; or a fully air-gapped deployment with no external connectivity. The goal is not to create a bespoke network architecture for every customer. Your job is to define one clear, secure, and supportable networking model for SGP — and establish the small set of defensible variations required to operate across different clouds, customer architectures, and compliance regimes. What You'll Do - Own network architecture for the SGP platform: define and enforce network standards across cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and customer deployments - Design and review VPC architectures, peering, DNS, load balancing, and CDN/edge configurations (e.g., Cloudflare), grounding root-cause and tradeoff discussions in data and domain depth - Bring strong technical judgment to VPN, routing, access, ingress/egress, and traffic-flow decisions - Review proposed networking solutions from platform, product, and forward-deployed teams; evaluate what should and should not be introduced into the platform boundary - Define the standard connectivity pattern between Scale's control plane and customer data planes (VPC peering, PrivateLink/Private Service Connect, site-to-site VPN, reverse tunnels) — and converge today's per-customer designs onto it - Own the customer-boundary delivery blueprint: how code, images, and traffic cross into a customer tenant — CI/CD mirroring across org boundaries (including customer-side Azure DevOps), artifact scan gates, private registries, ingress — so new engagements configure a pattern instead of designing one - Own engineer access into customer and internal environments (Tailscale/Teleport/bastion-class decisions), replacing per-engineer VPN sprawl and hand-rolled tunnels with something auditable - Own the Kubernetes traffic layer: Istio/Envoy mesh and ingress, the per-cloud CNI matrix, and a portable NetworkPolicy contract that constrains egress for thousands of short-lived agent-sandbox pods running untrusted code - Reduce rework by preventing one-off implementations from becoming long-term platform burden - Partner with security engineering on network segmentation, zero-trust access, and compliance requirements in regulated customer environments - Debug complex connectivity, latency, and traffic-flow issues across hybrid and multi-cloud deployments - Document network architecture, standards, and runbooks so adjacent teams can operate confidently What We're Looking For - 5+ years of network engineering experience, including designing and operating production networks in cloud environments - Deep expertise in cloud networking on at least two of AWS, Azure, and GCP: VPC design, peering, Transit Gateway/hub-and-spoke topologies, private connectivity (PrivateLink, Private Service Connect), and DNS - Kubernetes networking depth — CNI, ingress, NetworkPolicy, service mesh (Istio/Envoy) — this is where most of our real incidents live - Strong fundamentals in TCP/IP, BGP, routing, firewalls, VPN (site-to-site and client), and TLS - Experience with edge/CDN and traffic-management platforms such as Cloudflare - Has defined a network standard or reference architecture that other teams adopted, and enforced it through design review - Comfortable as the sole domain owner: able to collect requirements across five-plus live environments you didn't design, then converge them without breaking any - Has made build-vs-adopt networking calls with vendor-support or contractual consequences in a customer's cloud - Infrastructure-as-code proficiency (Terraform preferred) - Familiarity with network security and compliance requirements in regulated industries (healthcare, finance, government), including environments across multiple compliance regimes (commercial, FedRAMP/GovCloud, air-gapped), is a plus - Excellent communication skills — able to explain networking tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical audiences and influence decisions without direct authority Why This Role Matters Without a dedicated owner, adjacent teams are covering a domain that needs specialized expertise. You will be the point of accountability for network architecture as SGP grows — raising the quality of every deployment, unblocking confident decisions, and keeping the platform boundary clean as we scale. Compensation packages at Scale for eligible roles include base salary, equity, and benefits. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position and may be inclusive of several career levels at Scale; it will be determined during the interview process based on work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, interview performance, and relevant education or training.

Staff Software Engineer, RL Environments

Negotiable

About Scale AI At Scale, our mission is to develop reliable AI systems for the world's most important decisions. Our products provide the high-quality data and full-stack technologies that power the world's leading models, and help enterprises and governments build, deploy, and oversee AI applications that deliver real impact. Scale Frontier Data is the organization behind the training and evaluation data that frontier labs depend on. We build the systems, tooling, and expert workflows that turn hard human expertise into signals that models can learn from, across reasoning, coding, agentic tool use, and domain expertise. Reinforcement learning environments are now the center of gravity for that work: the difference between a model that demos well and a model that reliably completes long-horizon work is almost always the quality of the environments and reward signals it was trained against. Responsibilities As a Staff Software Engineer, RL Environments, you'll own the technical foundation for how Scale builds, runs, verifies, and delivers RL environments at scale. An RL environment is a real piece of software: a containerized world with real dependencies, real state, real tools, and a grader that has to be correct even when the agent is creative about breaking it. Building one is a full-stack engineering problem. Building thousands of them reproducibly, cheaply, with trustworthy reward signals and throughput measured in millions of rollouts is a systems problem that very few people have solved. You'll work on both. You'll design the platform: sandboxed execution, environment packaging and versioning, rollout orchestration, trajectory capture, verifier frameworks, and the authoring surfaces that let engineers and domain experts produce environments without reinventing infrastructure each time. And you'll go deep on the environments themselves by instrumenting real applications, designing task suites that expose specific capability gaps, and building graders that hold up under adversarial optimization. This is a hands-on engineering role. You'll set technical direction across multiple teams, and you'll still be the person who writes the hard part. Required Qualifications - 8+ years of software engineering experience with strong fundamentals in distributed systems, system design, data structures, and algorithms. - Strong Python skills and a track record of shipping production software; comfort in at least one other part of the stack (TypeScript/React, Go, Rust, or similar). - Deep experience with containerization and sandboxed execution, including Docker, VMs, gVisor/Firecracker, Kubernetes, or equivalent. - Experience building or operating high-throughput backend systems: orchestration, job scheduling, queuing, and large-scale data pipelines. - Hands-on experience building with LLMs including agent loops, tool calling, MCP, or eval harnesses, and enough intuition about model behavior to reason about what a training signal actually teaches. - Demonstrated ability to own ambiguous, undefined problems end to end and drive them to a shipped system. - Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to align engineers, researchers, and non-engineering partners on a technical direction. Preferred Qualifications RL & Post-Training - Direct experience building RL environments, agentic benchmarks, or eval harnesses (SWE-bench-style task suites, terminal or browser environments, tool-use benchmarks, or in-house equivalents). - Familiarity with post-training methods: RLHF, RLAIF, RLVR, GRPO/PPO-family algorithms, rejection sampling, reward modeling, and the practical failure modes of each. - Experience designing verifiable reward signals, and firsthand experience with reward hacking and how to defend against it. - Experience with RL training or serving stacks (verl, TRL, Ray, vLLM, SGLang, or similar). Systems & Infrastructure - Experience with high-scale sandbox or code-execution infrastructure, remote development environments, or CI systems. - Experience with cloud-native infrastructure across AWS/GCP/Azure, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD. - Strong observability instincts: tracing, structured logging, and metrics for systems whose failure modes are statistical rather than binary. - Experience building internal tools that non-engineers rely on daily, especially data-dense review and annotation interfaces. Ways of Working - Experience in a research-adjacent engineering role, translating research goals into production systems. - Experience working directly with sophisticated external technical customers. - Prior technical leadership at staff level or above in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment. Compensation packages at Scale for eligible roles include base salary, equity, and benefits.

You are responsible for the entire lifecycle: from identifying the top of funnel opportunity and shaping requirements to the final contract award and revenue recognition. - Tactical Execution: You don’t just delegate; you execute. You will personally draft high-impact white papers, lead the development of complex proposals, architect deal structures, and navigate the nuances of federal civilian contracting, including OTAs, GSA schedules, and component-specific IDIQ vehicles. - Operational Transition: Once the deal is signed, your job isn’t over. You will continue to lead the account, ensuring that the delivery team (Engagement Managers, Technical PMs, Engineers, and Product) enables mission success. You are the primary point of contact for the customer, ensuring the pilot doesn’t just work, but scales. - Renewal, Expansion, & Growth: Own the long-term account strategy. You are responsible for identifying the next use case, securing the follow-on funding, and driving the 10x growth that turns a single component deployment into a department-wide enterprise standard. - Direct Agentic Solutioning: Work in the weeds with technical teams and end-users to co-design Agentic AI workflows. You must be able to translate a customer’s vision into a specific technical requirement that our engineers can build against. - SI & Prime Orchestration: In partnership with Scale’s Partner Managers, you will actively manage and negotiate with Tier 1 Systems Integrators and federal primes to ensure Scale is the agentic AI engine of their larger programs. You will be the lead negotiator for sub-contracting and teaming agreements. Requirements: - Experience: 10+ years of experience in complex enterprise IT sales or business development, specifically within DHS, DOJ, or the broader federal law enforcement and homeland security market. - Proven Track Record: You have successfully closed and implemented multi-year deals exceeding $25M. You know how to get a line item in the budget. - Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of DHS and DOJ modernization priorities, specifically in AI/ML, computer vision, biometrics, screening and vetting, investigative analytics, or case management. - The Valley of Death Navigator: You have a demonstrated ability to transition technology from "cool demo" to "deployed capability" within a major component program office. - Strategic Network: Existing high-level relationships across DHS and DOJ components (CBP, ICE, USCIS, TSA, CISA, FBI, DEA, ATF, USMS) and their CIO and enterprise IT organizations, as well as a Rolodex of contacts at the major federal integrators. - Clearance: Active Secret clearance is strongly preferred; TS/SCI and existing component suitability are a plus. - Education: BS/BA required; technical degree or MBA preferred. - Geography: Based in the National Capital Region, with the ability to work out of Scale’s D.C. office 2-3 days a week. - Travel: Ability to travel 20-30% of the time. Who you are: - Mission-Driven: You believe that whoever wins in AI wins the next century, and you want that to be the United States and its allies. - Relentless: You thrive in the long-game of defense procurement. You aren't discouraged by bureaucracy; you see it as a puzzle to be solved. - Adaptive: You can operate in the high-velocity environment of a Series E startup while maintaining the polish required for the Pentagon. - The Closer-Operator: You have the executive presence to brief a PEO. - Radically Accountable: You don't wait for a marketing lead or a BD specialist to hand you a deal. You build your own funnel, navigate the "No's," and find the creative path to "Yes." - Technically Credible: You aren't a software engineer, but you can explain the difference between RAG and Agentic reasoning to a skeptical technical evaluator.
