Senior Software Engineer, Data

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. For developers and enterprises, fal is the foundation that makes generative media not just possible, but practical: a unified platform where high-performance inference, orchestration, and observability come together to unlock new categories of AI-native products. As generative media reshapes industries across a market projected to grow by hundreds of billions over the next decade, fal is becoming the ecosystem that ambitious teams build on. ### What you'll do

• Instrument fal's core infrastructure to capture CPU, GPU, and request-level signals, working alongside our infra team to land changes safely in critical paths. - Build ingestion pipelines from partner APIs, compute vendors, and internal services into BigQuery and a new low-latency analytical store (e.g., ClickHouse). - Design and operate the ETL backbone that powers cost, margin, and usage analytics with durable, observable pipelines. - Stand up a lightweight, low-latency write path that the data team and product engineers can target directly for analytics-grade telemetry. - Partner with infra, data and product engineering to define data contracts and instrumentation standards, and act as the connective tissue between operational systems and the analytics layer. ### What we are looking for
