SeniorSoftwareEngineer,DataProcessing

Company Overview: We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data. Solving AI’s data problem is a generational opportunity. We’re backed by world-class investors and already powering partnerships with some of the most ambitious teams in AI. The company that succeeds will be one of the largest in AI — and in tech. We’re a lean, fast-moving, high-trust team of builders who are obsessed with velocity and impact. Our culture is built for people who thrive on ambiguity, own outcomes, and want to shape the future of data and AI. ABOUT THE ROLE Protege is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to own the data processing layer at ingestion — the part of the platform that takes large-scale source data and turns it into clean, structured, enriched, validated, AI-ready datasets. This is a hands-on, backend- and data-heavy role with end-to-end ownership of the pipelines that move and process data at volume. Protege connects organizations that hold high-value data with the AI builders who need it. The value of that exchange depends on what happens at ingestion: raw, varied, high-volume source data has to be processed reliably, securely, and at scale before it's useful to anyone. You'll work across imaging, audio, video, and other data modalities, crossing healthcare, media, and other disparate industries and data partners. You’ll partner closely with product, Data Lab, and partner engineering teams to build robust ingestion and processing systems for structured and unstructured data at massive scale, from millions to billions of records, files, and other source objects. This role is ideal for engineers who are energized by messy data at scale, want deep ownership of critical infrastructure, and like turning ambiguity into reliable systems
