About this job
fal is the generative media ecosystem powering the next generation of AI products. We build the infrastructure, tools, and model access that teams need to move from idea to production, and do it at scale without compromise.

Ability to context switch between UI, backend, and performance work
Proficiency with TypeScript, Python, Postgres, and Next.js
Experience owning features end-to-end in production systems
Product-minded engineer who values clean abstractions and long-term maintainability
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, low-process environment
Experience building developer platforms or infrastructure-adjacent products
Familiarity with observability tooling (logging, metrics, tracing) in production environments
Experience in generative AI inference, training and compute space.
Background in distributed systems, container orchestration, or cloud-native architectures
Experience with real-time systems, streaming logs, or high-throughput data pipelines
Exposure to technologies such as Kubernetes, Prometheus, Datadog, gRPC, or similar systems
