The Opportunity

As a Senior Software Engineer at Animore, you will build and operate the web services and tooling that let our AI/ML teams train and benchmark models at scale.

You will take ownership of one or more services end to end - from design through deployment and day-to-day operation in the cloud - working closely with team leads, data farm managers, and AI/ML engineers to turn real operational needs into reliable, well-built software.
