Who We Are Lightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction. Through our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in. We serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute. The Way We Work The people who thrive here are builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and our company. Here's what that looks like in practice: Move with Urgency: We move quickly, make thoughtful decisions, and keep momentum. We value action over perfection and learn by shipping. Take Ownership: We own outcomes, not just our individual work. We make decisions that move the company forward and follow through. Communicate Openly: We communicate directly, seek to understand, and create clarity for others. Honest conversations help us move faster together. Build Great Teams: We lead by example, empower others, and create healthy teams where people can do their best work. Raise the Bar: We're always improving ourselves. We learn from feedback, consistently challenge ourselves to grow, and focus on the work that matters most. Think Long-Term: We design for what's next. We create scalable systems, simplify complexity, and use AI and automation to amplify our impact.   What We Are Looking For We are seeking experienced Platform Engineers to partner directly with customers to architect, build, and deploy production integrations. In this role, you will work across AI workflow implementation, full-stack feature development, security, and billing integration, to ensure your partner’s success. You will own communication of customer requirements, scoping of bespoke problems into generalizable solutions, and expanding the Lightning Platform to fulfill your customer’s needs.  This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, research engineering, AI infrastructure, product thinking, and customer engagement. You’ll work within Lightning’s internal product and engineering organizations to deliver production-ready AI systems that help customers realize value quickly and scale with confidence. This is a hands-on engineering role that combines software development, AI infrastructure, technical customer engagement, and product thinking. Successful candidates will be highly technical, customer-oriented builders who thrive in fast-moving environments and enjoy solving ambiguous, real-world AI systems problems. This role is based in one of our hubs (New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, or London), with a minimum of 2 in-office days per week and occasional team and company offsites. What You'll Do Partner directly with customers to design, implement, and deploy end-to-end AI systems and workflows on Lightning’s platform Translate vague customer objectives into clear technical specifications, proof-of-concepts, and scalable production implementations Own customer technical engagements end-to-end, from early discovery and architecture through deployment, monitoring, and expansion Develop and maintain production-grade software systems and services using modern programming languages, with a strong preference for Python Build reliable, observable systems with strong attention to latency, throughput, quality, scalability, and cost efficiency in production environments Debug and optimize AI systems across inference infrastructur
