You'll help build the orchestration layer and SDK that every other AI team at the company depends on - durable, multi-tenant, and fast to iterate against. Your work sits underneath an AI-powered product that is transforming how clinical trials are run, so reliability and security aren't afterthoughts, they're core to the job.
You'll partner closely with our Platform Architect, AI Scientists, and embedded AI Engineers, giving you visibility into how the whole AI stack fits together. This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced biotech AI startup at an early stage of its growth, as we continue expanding our US presence.

- Contribute to the reliability, latency, and cost of agent execution at scale
- Build and maintain a platform SDK used across every AI engineering team
- Implement multi-tenant isolation, quota management, and security boundaries
- Partner with AI Scientists and AI Engineers to expose model and evaluation capabilities through platform APIs
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for agent deployment
- Help design API and model gateways for routing, rate limiting, and cost attribution
- Collaborate with our broader platform team to extend and harden shared infrastructure
- Participate in on-call rotation and incident response for production systems
Required Experience & Skills- 5+ years of experience in backend or infrastructure engineering
- Experience building and operating distributed systems in production
- Strong proficiency in Python or a comparable language
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (e.g., GCP, AWS)

- Experience designing APIs and service boundaries
- Solid understanding of security fundamentals (authN/authZ, secrets management)
- Experience working with CI/CD pipelines
- Familiarity with open-source agentic AI libraries and/or durable-execution orchestrators
Nice-to-Have Skills- Experience building or operating agentic AI systems
- Experience in a regulated industry (healthcare, biotech, fintech)
- Contributions to open-source infrastructure projects
- Experience mentoring engineers or leading technical initiatives
Who We're Looking For- Someone who enjoys building foundational systems that other engineers rely on
- A pragmatic problem-solver who balances speed with long-term maintainability
- Someone comfortable operating in ambiguity at an early-stage startup
- A collaborative teammate who communicates clearly across disciplines
