  • Run persistent, isolated Linux sandboxes for workspaces, with attention to security, autoscaling, and cost.
  • Own durable, high-performance multi-tenant state and persistence systems designed to handle failures.
  • Identify and resolve integration issues, then improve system architecture to prevent them from recurring.
  • Work directly with users and the founding team to make and ship product and infrastructure decisions.

Requirements

  • Typically 3 to 10+ years of experience building and operating production backend systems.
  • Strong distributed systems experience, including designing for reliability and operating systems through failure.
  • Hands-on expertise with containers, Linux internals, sandboxing, and safely running untrusted code.
  • Experience building Python services and working with infrastructure tooling such as Modal.
  • Practical experience with OAuth, webhooks, rate limits, and third-party API integrations.
  • Background in infrastructure, platform, developer tools, runtime systems, or secure code execution, with experience designing multi-tenant systems.
