Member of Technical Staff — DevOps

Causal Labs

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
