About the role
We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Agent Platform team and help shape the future of agentic computing by building the software stack that drives it. The Agent Platform is the core infrastructure for hosting agents at scale: container builds, fast cold-starts, isolation of untrusted workloads, networking, observability, and the developer tooling that ties it all together.
What You'll Do
- Develop the core platform for hosting agents
- Create resilient systems to deploy agents across global data centers
- Create end-to-end tooling for seamless management of hosted agents
- Work across Go, Firecracker, Docker, Temporal, Kubernetes, and similar technologies
- Own significant portions of the platform end-to-end, from design through deployment and iteration
Who You Are
- Strong SWE/SDE/SRE background with deep backend experience
- Deeply competent in some of the technologies we use: Go, networking, Kubernetes, buildkitd/Docker/containerd
- Skilled in containerization platforms and capable of digging into low-level details to solve complex problems
- Experienced designing and maintaining production distributed systems
- Self-starter who can jump in, own portions of a project, and drive decisions
Nice to Have
- Experience running untrusted code in isolated environments (gVisor, Firecracker, or similar)
- Experience at companies offering serverless functions or container platforms (Fly.io, Cloudflare, AWS Lambda, GCP)
- Background in OCI/container internals — speeding boot times, snapshotter optimizations, image layering
- Experience with software-defined networking, anycast, BGP, or VPC integration for serverless workloads
Our Commitment to You
- An opportunity to build something truly impactful to the world
- Contribute to open source alongside world-class engineers
- Competitive salary and equity package
- Health, dental, and vision benefits
- Flexible vacation policy
