Kuku FM

About the team Kuku is India's largest audio/video content platform — 3M+ DAU, 50k+ hours of content, and over 3 billion events processed daily. The infra team owns the foundation that makes all of this work: data pipelines, ML infrastructure, network infrastructure, platform tooling, CI/CD, and observability. We're a lean team with high ownership. What you build ships fast and operates at real scale.
 What you'll work on • Build and maintain data pipelines — batch and streaming — that process 3B+ daily events. Reliability and cost matter as much as throughput. • Work on network infrastructure — service connectivity, internal networking abstractions, and ensuring secure, reliable communication across our platform services. • Own pieces of ML pipeline infrastructure: data ingestion, feature pipelines, and model serving infra that supports our recommendation and personalisation systems. • Work on platform problems: container orchestration, infra-as-code, and internal abstractions that let product teams move without depending on infra for every deploy. • Set up and improve our observability stack. Define SLIs, own alerts, reduce MTTR. If something breaks, we want to know before users do. • Contribute to CI/CD reliability: faster builds, cleaner rollouts, fewer incidents at deploy time. • Contribute to internal AI tooling — building or integrating tools that improve developer productivity and automate repetitive infra and data workflows.
 What we're looking for • 3–5 years in backend or infrastructure engineering, with production experience — not just side projects • Strong Python; you write code that runs in production, not just automation scripts • Real experience with distributed data processing and streaming systems in a production environment • Hands-on with container orchestration and infra-as-code tooling • Familiarity with observability tooling — metrics, logs, traces • Some understanding of ML pipelines — you don't need to be an ML engineer, but knowing how data flows from raw to model matters here
 Good to have • Experience with real-time streaming architectures • Exposure to ML infrastructure, feature stores, or data governance • Prior work in a consumer product company where data volumes are high and latency budgets are tight • Contributions to open-source infra or data tooling
 What we offer • Full ownership of your work — this isn't a support role • Competitive comp + ESOPs • Learning budget and certification support • A team that cares about reliability, not just velocity
