Your role, should you choose to join us, will be as an Infrastructure / Backend Engineer on our founding team.

You're the right person for this role if you're excited to build not just robust systems, but help shape the technical backbone of a category-defining company from day one.

You're a great fit if you're known for making infrastructure elegant, reliable, and secure - even under demanding workloads. You find energy in scaling systems that power intelligent agents, and you take pride in building foundations others can depend on.

Your responsibilities will include:
  • Designing and maintaining secure, scalable infrastructure for AI-powered agents in production
  • Deploying and optimizing AI-heavy services with high availability and performance requirements
  • Managing infrastructure as code, cloud environments, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Implementing monitoring, observability, and alerting to ensure system reliability
  • Contributing to infrastructure security and best practices

You likely have:
  • Experience deploying and productionizing ML or AI-heavy workloads
  • Expertise in building secure, scalable systems on platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Deep knowledge of backend systems, networking, and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes)
  • Familiarity with infrastructure security principles and compliance (e.g., SOC2)
  • The mindset of an owner: proactive, hands-on, and driven to solve problems end-to-end
Compensation
  • The rare opportunity to join a formidable team to build an enduring company, in person, as a first 20 employee
  • Competitive compensation
  • Significant equity upside
  • Medical / dental / vision

This role is based in person in San Francisco, CA (not remote).
