Perplexity's Infrastructure team runs the systems under its search and answer products, covering retrieval, model serving and agent workloads. The role is a generalist one: owning cross-cutting problems across compute, storage, networking, data, deployment and reliability, building shared abstractions, and setting technical direction across teams. The posting asks for 4+ years of production backend, platform or distributed systems work, strength in Python or Go, Rust, C++, Java, and depth in at least two infrastructure areas. Applications are considered across the Infrastructure organization.
