Job Description: You'll take over technical direction for Amplify's data systems end-to-end, working closely with the founders.

• Work closely with the founders on technical direction for the data systems platform
• Design systems that support multiprocessed and HPC workloads at scale
• Write clean, well-packaged Python code that can be maintained reliably over time
• Communicate clearly in a deep-work, async-heavy environment

Requirements:

• 4+ years shipping and maintaining production software
• Strong Python skills — writing, maintaining, packaging, and production deployment
• Experience with multiprocessed and HPC workloads
• Crisp written communication — async-heavy team with minimal meetings
• Interest in energy systems, forecasting, or quantitative domains a strong advantage

Benefits: All-cash compensation paid from company profits, fully remote, no investor pressure, deep-work focused culture.
