Description

About Yara Yara is building the future of finding work. Most hiring tools are stuck in the 90s and AI is making it worse, not better. More spam, more noise, more generic outreach that wastes everyone's time. We're reworking how people find their next role with one profile that actually shows your work, smart matching that puts you in front of the right companies, and a real person on the other side who cares about getting it right. We work with companies across AI, developer tools, consumer, fintech, and health tech, ranging from teams that have raised $1B+ with 3,000+ employees to earlier stage companies at $50M+ with 100+ employees. We've helped talent from Google, Apple, Palantir, Uber, and Ramp connect with companies like Vercel, Paraform, Abridge, and Parallel. About this role Infrastructure and AI companies in the Yara Network are hiring senior backend and systems engineers in San Francisco, in person. The work is the layer underneath AI products: GPU cloud and scheduling, distributed data systems, high-throughput APIs, and the platforms that hold up when traffic and model calls spike at the same time. One of these teams has already made four hires through us and is hiring eight more. Who this is for You think in systems.
