About Ema Ema builds AI Employees for HR, IT and Finance. Our AI Employees take on the busy work across the employee experience, from recruiting, onboarding and benefits to IT support, invoice processing and payroll, so people can spend their time on work that needs them. Founded by former executives from Google, Coinbase, Flipkart, and Okta, our team includes engineers from premier tech companies and graduates of Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, CMU, and IITs. We are backed by industry leading investors including Accel, Naspers/Prosus, Creaegis, Section32, and angels like Sheryl Sandberg and Dustin Moskovitz. Headquartered in Silicon Valley and with offices in London, Bangalore and Vancouver, Ema is at the frontier of what Agentic AI can do in production. We ship real systems that run real business processes at scale. Who you are You are an experienced Platform Engineer who owns backend infrastructure end to end. You design multi-tenant, microservices-based systems that other engineering teams build on, and you make deliberate architectural tradeoffs around consistency, latency, scale, and cost. You are comfortable going deep — service mesh internals, database internals, distributed-systems failure modes — and equally comfortable defining the reliability and security contracts an enterprise AI platform depends on. Responsibilities Design, own, and evolve scalable microservices architectures on Kubernetes across GCP, Azure, and AWS, including multi-tenant isolation (namespaces, network policies, per-tenant resource quotas and RBAC). Build core platform and data-plane components in Golang and Python — data ingestion, knowledge-base indexing and vector/graph search, application connectivity, workflow automation, and ML operations — against explicit latency and throughput SLOs. Own service-to-service communication: gRPC/protobuf API contracts, service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), load balancing, retries, timeouts, and circuit breaking. Make and document architectural tradeoffs — p

We're looking for a Tech Lead to own technical direction for Asana's Platform Reliability Engineering team. This role is for someone who thrives as a technical leader without needing to take on people management. At Asana, Tech Leads own technical execution, architecture, and long-term engineering strategy. You'll lead complex projects, make key technical decisions, and set the standard for engineering quality. You'll guide ICs through technical design and project leadership, and partner with teams across the company. An Engineering Manager handles people leadership – you own the technical direction. Your team will build core platform systems like load shedding, rate limiting, circuit breakers, and traffic controls that protect Asana under real-world load. This is hands-on work – you'll spend significant time designing and building systems alongside the team, while partnering with other platform teams to make reliability something that's built in, not bolted on. Our tech stack includes: AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), MySQL (RDS), OpenSearch, DynamoDB, Redis, Terraform, Datadog, TypeScript, Scala, Go, and Python. (Yeah, we know this sounds like buzzword bingo – but we want this post to actually show up in your searches.) We're especially interested in people who think like backend engineers but obsess over failure modes, capacity planning, and building systems that degrade gracefully under pressure. This role is based in our Warsaw office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do, and your recruiter can share more about the in-office requirements. We offer a Contract of Employment (UoP) for our employees in Poland. What You'll Achieve: Set technical direction for the team, making sure we're solving the right problems in the right way.

About the Team OpenAI's Industrial Compute organization is building the world's most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystem. Through a combination of strategic partnerships and self-built campuses, we are scaling the compute, storage, and networking platforms that power frontier AI training and inference. The Scaling Analytics team builds the data and software systems that help Industrial Compute understand, plan, and operate infrastructure at global scale. We work across capacity, hardware, storage, infrastructure software, and operational systems to connect fragmented sources of infrastructure data and make that information reliable and usable for engineering and planning. As OpenAI's infrastructure footprint grows, CPU and storage data increasingly spans internal platforms, vendor systems, APIs, databases, object storage, capacity management systems, and operational tooling. Building reliable connections across these environments is critical to understanding available capacity, utilization, fleet state, and infrastructure growth.

This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and backend software engineering. Rather than focusing primarily on traditional analytical pipelines, you will build the software and integrations required to collect, normalize, and make infrastructure data available across a heterogeneous set of systems. CPU and storage data may originate from internal infrastructure platforms, vendor APIs, databases, object storage, capacity systems, and operational services. You will determine how to reliably connect these systems and where those integrations should live—whether within an existing infrastructure service, an orchestration framework, a scheduled workload, or a purpose-built application. You will work closely with Infrastructure Engineering, Capacity Engineering, Storage,
