About the role

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).
