Working closely with Research, Safety, Codex, and other API teams, we bring new model capabilities into production and improve them through developer feedback. About the Role We are looking for a backend software engineer to build and operate the services behind the Responses API. You will shape API behavior, bring new capabilities from research into production, and make long-running agent workflows dependable and fast. The work combines distributed systems engineering with product judgment: designing useful developer interfaces, managing staged rollouts, and following production issues through to durable fixes. In this role, you will: Design, build, and operate APIs and backend services that bring frontier model capabilities to developers. Partner with Research, Safety, Codex, and API teams to define API behavior and deliver safe, staged launches. Build API capabilities for agent workflows, including task delegation, context sharing, and parallel execution. Strengthen long-running request reliability across timeouts, cancellation, streaming, and background execution. Improve request-processing performance and tail latency through profiling, efficient systems code, and persistent connections.

At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. We aim to achieve this by cultivating a work environment where all team members belong and have the opportunity to thrive. We are looking for an experienced backend software engineer to join our Road Safety & Telematics team. At Lyft, Telematics data is used to make Lyft safer by reducing the frequency and severity of accidents, which in turn also makes Lyft more affordable for riders and a better way to earn a living for drivers. The Telematics team acts as a platform team that processes petabytes of mobile sensor data — millisecond-level IMU, gyroscope, and GPS signals — through a series of DAG-based transformations and ML model inferences to detect harsh driving events and convert them into normalized risk features that other Lyft services consume. Our technology stack runs on AWS, Kubernetes, Spark, and Apache Airflow. In this role, you'll work closely with data scientists, actuarial teams, other backend and data engineers, and product management — partnering across geos to build risk-aware products that rank and reward safe drivers, help off-board unsafe ones, notify drivers in real time, and give claims agents the tools to understand exactly what happened in a ride. You'll also be a key technical partner to our insurance team as they optimize coverage costs and provider relationships. If you are a seasoned engineer with a passion for innovation, high-volume data pipelines, microservices, working in cross-disciplinary environments and possess the skills to ensure the ongoing maintenance and improvement of services, you will thrive on our team! You can read about some of the products that Telematics powers in this blog post: https://www.lyft.com/blog/posts/lyfts-impact-on-road-safety Responsibilities: Be a champion of the team's safety and affordability mission, serving as a reliable source of risk insights for teams across Lyft — from driver ranking and safety rewards to accident claims resolution and insurance

About the Team API Agents builds the shared agent harness, tools, and infrastructure that turn OpenAI’s frontier models into systems that can reliably complete real work. We carry the capabilities behind Codex into a much broader set of products and workflows across software engineering, research, finance, healthcare, enterprise operations, and more. Our work spans search and connected context, computer use, memory, delegation and multi-agent coordination, and safe execution. Sitting at the intersection of Research, Codex, infrastructure, and applied product teams, we build reusable agent capabilities that compound across the ecosystem. About the Role We are looking for an experienced backend software engineer to build the core systems behind the next generation of agents. You will design reliable services and abstractions that help agents find the right context, use tools and computers, retain knowledge, coordinate over long-running workflows, and take action safely. The role combines deep backend and infrastructure work with strong product judgment, with opportunities to work across agent runtimes, orchestration, search, execution environments, identity and permissions, observability, and evaluations. This is software and systems engineering rather than model training: success comes from strong backend fundamentals, high agency, and the ability to turn fast-moving research capabilities into dependable production primitives. In this role, you will: Design, build, and operate the shared agent harness and backend infrastructure that power long-running, high-value workflows across OpenAI and third-party products. Build reusable capabilities across search and connected context, computer use, memory, tool execution, delegation, subagents, and multi-agent orchestration.

Title: Staff Site Reliability Engineer, Cloud Cost & Engineering Efficiency Location: Noida / Bangalore (Hybrid) Summary of role Sumo Logic's microservices architecture, hosted on AWS, ingests petabytes of data daily across many geographic regions in support of our planet-scale observability and security products, serving hundreds of millions of queries a day against thousands of petabytes of data. At that scale, every inefficiency — in code, architecture, or infrastructure — compounds into real cost. This role sits within the Product SRE organization, working alongside your global SRE team on your product area's reliability roadmap — with a mandate that leads with code as much as operations. You'll find where Sumo's systems are spending more compute, storage, or engineering time than necessary, and fix it in the code and architecture, not just the infra config, while also carrying the fuller SRE mandate — reliability, security posture, and improving the day-to-day experience of the engineers within your product area. You'll be part of a team that blends SRE and backend software engineering skillsets, partnering closely with product engineering teams across your product area. This is an engineering role — the work is about shipping code, architecture, and system-level changes that improve unit economics, not managing cost dashboards, tagging, or reserved-instance/savings-plan purchasing. What you’ll do Continuously discover cost and efficiency opportunities through production profiling, telemetry, cost data, capacity trends, and system-level analysis — across algorithmic inefficiencies, resource-heavy code paths, and architectural decisions — and turn ambiguous problems into prioritized engineering initiatives.
