Perplexity is hiring an infrastructure engineer to own the backend behind its latency-sensitive search stack. The work covers high-QPS Rust and Go services, distributed retrieval systems, AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure, observability and deployment tooling, with end-to-end ownership from design to production operation. The posting asks for strong cloud and distributed-systems experience, Linux internals and performance debugging, container orchestration, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD, plus fluency in a systems language. Search, retrieval or ranking experience and running Rust services in production are listed as nice to have.
