About the role:

Here, you’ll join a structured, scalable-engineering team that collaborates across ML, data and product functions — and enjoys a culture that is open, flexible and far from traditional corporate rigidity.

What You’ll Do

Design and build backend systems that power AI/ML workflows and GenAI-based agents.
Develop tools and platforms for model training, deployment, observability and monitoring.
Collaborate closely with ML scientists, data engineers and product teams to integrate AI features into real-world systems.
Ensure reliability, scalability and performance of the infrastructure — while maintaining flexibility to adopt the best tools and frameworks (Python, AWS, etc.).
Grow in understanding ML systems, pipelines and infrastructure, while owning meaningful components and contributing to major platforms.

What We’re Looking For

1-4 years of software engineering experience (backend-oriented) or relevant internship/project experience.
Strong fundamentals in software design, coding and distributed systems (Python is preferred).
Demonstrated curiosity about ML/AI systems, pipelines or infrastructure. MLOps experience is a plus but not required.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, comfort working cross-functionally with ML, data & product teams.
Self-starter mentality — eager to learn, iterate and own components.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, or comparable experience.

Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is one of Motive's core values. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives.
