What you'll do- Define the infrastructure platform: Shape the abstractions that power agent execution-including compute, storage, orchestration, and networking layers-making them scalable, reliable, and developer-friendly.
- Own performance, reliability, and scale: Define how Sierra systems handle real-time workloads, high concurrency, and enterprise-grade uptime requirements. Set the bar for latency, availability, and fault tolerance.
- Design developer primitives and tooling: Build the internal and external interfaces (APIs, SDKs, workflows) that engineers use to deploy, monitor, and iterate on agents.
- Drive system architecture decisions: Partner closely with engineering to make tradeoffs across consistency, cost, performance, and complexity. Bring first-principles thinking to infra design.
- Enable rapid iteration across the company: Ensure infrastructure accelerates product velocity, not slows it down - enabling teams to ship quickly without sacrificing reliability.
- Work across the full stack of the platform: Collaborate with product, engineering, and GTM teams to ensure infrastructure supports real customer use cases and evolving product needs.
What you'll bring- Deep technical product experience: building highly technical products, ideally across infrastructure, platform, or developer tooling
- Strong systems intuition: Ability to reason about distributed systems, scalability, latency, and reliability from first principles
- End-to-end product ownership: Track record of leading products from 01 and through scale, working closely with engineering and cross-functional teams
- Excellent collaboration and communication: Ability to work deeply with engineers while clearly articulating tradeoffs and decisions across stakeholders
- Comfort with ambiguity and pace: Experience operating in fast-moving environments, building new systems with incomplete information
Even better...- Experience with distributed systems, infrastructure, or platform engineering (compute, storage, networking, orchestration)
- Experience building developer platforms, APIs, or SDKs
- Familiarity with modern AI/ML infrastructure or real-time systems
- Some coding experience (e.g., Typescript, Go, Python)
