Environment Architect

Role Summary

Own the end-to-end creation of replica environments (high-fidelity clones of websites and web applications) used to train computer-use models. This is a hybrid technical lead and delivery role: you will contribute hands‑on across the stack while managing external dev shops to deliver production‑quality replicas across multiple parallel projects.

• Full‑stack engineering:
  React + Python web backend (FastAPI preferred)
• Data layer: SQL databases, schema design, complex queries
• Data modeling & synthetic data: explore/define data models, specify synthetic data requirements, validate realism and coverage
• Architecture judgment: define system boundaries, integration points, and offline/replica constraints
• QA and verification: define acceptance criteria, systematic testing, high‑quality bug reports, follow‑through to resolution

• End-to-end ownership: accountable for the replica environment delivery from scoping to release‑quality handoff
• Vendor‑led execution: can decompose large builds into well‑scoped milestones, manage accountability, and maintain velocity without micromanagement
• Vendor evaluation: can vet technical capability and process fit (including paid trials) and make "keep/cut" decisions quickly
• Quality radar: recognizes corner‑cutting early; enforces engineering and UX/behavior fidelity standards for replicas
• Communication discipline: proactive status/risk/blocker management; clear internal updates on progress and timeline changes

• 5+ years:
  Experience managing technical delivery; running multiple parallel work streams
• 5+ years:
  Experience managing external dev shops/contractors
• Examples of shipping complex full‑stack systems (React + Python + SQL)
• A short description of your vendor evaluation approach
• Excellent verbal and written communication
• Candidate can be remote. The office is in SF, CA. Must be available for some PST hours.
