About The Position

Tagup is a Series A defense technology company, founded at MIT, that is delivering logistics decision advantage with next-generation AI. Our product Manifest— is the operating system for the physical world. We’re a team of engineers and data scientists driven by our mission to use reinforcement learning and probabilistic modeling to optimize military logistics and critical infrastructure, ensuring our customers get the best performance they can out of the resources. You make a real world impact where your code won't just optimize a shopping cart or a compute primitive. It will optimize supply chains for the U.S. military and prevent catastrophic failures in critical infrastructure. We do not use proprietary tooling or build systems and deployment pipelines. We build on modern, open standards you can apply in any space. You won't just own a slice of a service. You will own entire architectural domains—from API design and data modeling to deployment and monitoring strategies. You’ll work directly with PhD-level data scientists and former special operators. We value high-velocity decision-making over "approval chains."

Requirements

Treat architecture as an evolving being that morphs as customers scale and storage/compute/security needs change.
Understand "Scale" vs. "Complexity": You know that scale isn't just about TPS; it's about handling complex data relationships.
Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Pandas)
PostgreSQL
Redis
AWS (EC2, RDS, EKS)
Kubernetes
Terraform
Authorized to work for any employer in the U.S.
Ability to learn over which specific languages you have experience in.

AI: pyro, torch, MCP, Langchain using Claude.

Responsibilities

Architect the core platform that ingests, processes, and acts on billions of data points from the physical world.
Optimize complex NL queries and time-series data storage to ensure sub-second latency for our AI models.
Design and implement high-performance REST APIs and microservices that power the Manifest platform.
Build robust ETL pipelines that ingest high-frequency sensor data from diverse industrial assets.
Implement sophisticated monitoring, alarming, and automated CI/CD pipelines to ensure 99.99% availability without the bureaucracy.
Mentor junior engineers and set the standard for code quality and design patterns.
