Responsibilities
- Measure developer velocity, and partner with researchers, product engineers, and forward-deployed engineers to find what slows them down and remove it
- Build internal infrastructure for agentic development: sandboxes, tool access, context, and eval harnesses that let autonomous research and coding agents run end to end
- Self-host and serve open-source LLMs for internal agent use
- Own CI/CD, build and test infrastructure, reproducible dev environments, and infrastructure-as-code so research and product code ship quickly and safely
- Build the monitoring, alerting, and on-call for our product and customer-facing services to catch failures before users do
- Own cost across the dev stack: track and cut spend on compute, tools, and inference
What we're looking for
- We value a relentless approach to problem-solving, rapid execution, and the ability to quickly learn in unfamiliar domains.
- AI-pilled: uses coding agents daily and has built internal infrastructure for agentic development, not just used it
- Experience self-hosting and serving open-source LLMs (e.g. vLLM, SGLang)
- Strong systems background: Linux, networking, containers and orchestration (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform)
- Experience building CI/CD and developer tooling (e.g. GitHub Actions, Buildkite, Bazel, Nix)
- Knowledge of cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) and best practices for observability and security
Track record of measurably improving developer velocity
