Our team comes from Uber, Stripe, Datadog, Confluent, Elastic, and Google, and has founded/architected systems like Kafka, Kibana, Debezium, Datadog APM, and more.

The Role

You’ll play a key role in designing and developing the core systems that build and manage hundreds of thousands of AI applications. You’ll thrive here if you’re low-ego, hands-on, and energized by building fast, learning constantly, and solving real-world problems with smart teammates.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop the core control plane for AI agents that supports custom RBAC, auth, AI guardrails, auditing and observability.
  • Develop systems that support multiple tenants and run across cloud and on-prem setups.
  • Build, deploy, and optimize AI agent performance, alignment and evals.
  • Work closely with customers to ship high-impact features driven by real-world use.
  • Partner with product to define the roadmap and bring new AI tooling to life.

Must haves:

  • 3+ years of experience in full-stack or backend engineering with expertise in scalable system design and architecture
  • Strong product sense focused on great user experiences and strategic thinking to meet market and customer needs.
  • You’re all-in and committed to building a generational AI company, far beyond a 9 to 5 job.

Nice to haves:

  • Built and operated production AI systems and are familiar with AI inference techniques.
  • Optimized language runtimes and enable cross-language integration (e.g., Go, Python, C), including customizing or building WASM compilers and runtimes.
  • Experience with machine learning algorithms, platforms, and frameworks like PyTorch and Tensorflow.
Compensation

The base salary ranges between $175,000–$225,000+ USD, plus a generous equity package. Final comp will be based on experience and skills.

If you’re excited to build the experience that can enable the next billion builders and AI-powered apps, let’s talk.
