The Future of AI is Still Being Written.
This is Your Chance to Shape It.
WEKA is building a new category of data and memory infrastructure, purpose-built for the inference era. Join us at the frontier of technology’s next major inflection point.
The WEKA Way
No two days at WEKA are ever the same, and we like it that way. We work hard, stay intellectually curious, and take calculated risks. We fail fast, laugh often, and win as one. We value diverse perspectives, honest discourse, and creative problem-solving — always pushing ourselves to think bigger and accelerate what’s possible. And with over 170 patents awarded and 65 more pending, we back our ideas with real IP.
“Working at WEKA means constantly interacting with bright, talented people who are truly curious and passionate about what they do.”
“Why WEKA? It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be associated with futuristic technology at the intersection of data and AI that can truly transform human lives.”

Senior Software Engineer - Verification and Reliability
About The Position
WEKA is a pre-IPO, growth-stage company on a hyper-growth trajectory. We’ve raised $375M in capital with dozens of world-class venture capital and strategic investors. We help the world’s largest and most innovative enterprises and research organizations, including 12 of the Fortune 50, achieve discoveries, insights, and business outcomes faster and more sustainably. We’re passionate about solving our customers’ most complex data challenges to accelerate intelligent innovation and business value. If you share our passion, we invite you to join us on this exciting journey.
At WEKA, we are building NeuralMesh™- the world’s first intelligent, adaptive mesh storage system. To ensure our platform is unbreakable for the world’s largest AI and GPU clusters, we don't just "test" our code. We build an adversarial distributed system as complex and sophisticated as the product itself.
We are moving away from traditional QA automation. We are building a high-octane engineering force that treats reliability as a high-end software problem. We need "Quality Hackers" who want to build the technology that proves bugs don't exist.
In this role as a SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test), you are a developer first. You will join a high-impact team of engineers who write production-grade code to build a massive-scale validation ecosystem. Your job is to act as "The Breaker"—designing the infrastructure, chaos experiments, and AI-driven tools that push our platform to its theoretical limits.
What You’ll Build:
- Adversarial Engineering: Design and implement Python-based distributed frameworks capable of orchestrating millions of concurrent IO operations to hunt down race conditions and memory leaks.
- AI-Augmented Validation: Be at the forefront of the AI-Native transformation. You will leverage LLMs and Generative AI to automate complex scenario generation, build intelligent agents for root-cause analysis, and multiply your engineering velocity.
- Simulation & Chaos: Build the "Entropy Engine." You will develop tools that inject real-world failures - latency, packet loss, and hardware crashes - to prove the resilience of our Raft and RDMA implementations.
- Deep-System Observability: Move beyond "Pass/Fail." You will build telemetry pipelines to track P99 latency and jitter, providing critical architectural feedback to the Core Kernel teams.
- Collaborative Architecture: You will operate with the same rigorous standards as the Core R&D team: design docs, production-grade code reviews, and high-level architectural planning.
- Extensive Python development experience: 8+ years of hands-on Python development experience, with a deep understanding of Python internals. Comfortable reading and debugging C++, Rust, or Go to understand how the core system works.
Systems Engineering Mindset: You have a background in distributed systems, networking (TCP/IP, RDMA), or storage protocols. You understand the complexities of consistency and metadata at scale. - AI Enthusiast: You are an early adopter of AI tools (Copilot, LLMs) and are excited about using them to automate the most tedious parts of the engineering lifecycle.
- The "SRE" Lens: You approach quality through the lens of Site Reliability Engineering. You care about observability, MTTD (Mean Time to Detection), and building self-healing testing loops.
- Problem Hunter: You have a "hacker" instinct. You don’t just find a bug; you find the architectural flaw that allowed it to exist.
You will be part of a newly restructured group led by veteran systems architects, moving at the speed of a startup with the impact of a global leader. If you are a backend engineer who wants to solve the hardest problems in computer science—verifying correctness in a massive asynchronous system—this is your home.
