What We're Looking For

• 3–5+ years of professional software engineering experience, particularly in backend, infrastructure, platform, SRE, or distributed systems engineering.
• Strong programming skills in Python and experience building production-quality software.
• Experience designing and operating backend services, APIs, or distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, virtual machines, or other container/orchestration technologies.
• Experience working with AWS, GCP, or similar cloud infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of Linux systems, networking, authentication, permissions, and infrastructure security.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code or automation tools such as Terraform.
• Strong debugging skills and comfort diagnosing failures across application, infrastructure, and networking layers, especially in agentic loops.
• Ability to build systems that are reproducible, observable, scalable, and secure.
• Comfort working on ambiguous technical problems where the architecture and requirements may evolve quickly.
• Interest in AI systems, agentic workflows, AI security, or model evaluations. Prior professional AI experience is helpful but not required.

Nice to Have

• Experience building developer platforms, CI/CD systems, test infrastructure, sandboxes, or ephemeral compute environments.
• Experience with agent frameworks, LLM APIs, tool-calling systems, or AI evaluation infrastructure.
• Experience designing secure execution environments for untrusted or semi-trusted code.
• Background in SRE, platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, or developer tooling.
• Experience with distributed task execution, queues, workflow orchestration, or large-scale automated testing.
• Familiarity with AI safety, adversarial testing, model evaluations, or autonomous-agent systems.
• Familiarity with agentic AI fundamentals, including common harnesses, Model Context Protocol, agent benchmarks, and security risks to AI agents.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary Range: $110K–$160K, depending on experience and location
• Bonus: Performance-based annual bonus
• Professional Development: Support for conferences, continuing education, or leadership training
• Work Environment: Fully remote, U.S.-based
• Health Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
• Time Off: Generous PTO and paid holiday schedule
• Retirement: 401(k) plan
