Job description

Next-generation autonomous AI systems are being built to move far beyond simple interaction — toward software capable of executing complex, real-world operations at scale. Backed by $5.1M from leading founders and venture investors, the company operates at the intersection of autonomous systems, distributed infrastructure, and applied AI, laying the foundation for truly self-operating digital entities.

At this pivotal stage of growth,

  • *we are looking for a Senior Python Software Engineer (Core Infrastructure)**
to play a central role in architecting and scaling the distributed systems that orchestrate thousands of intelligent AI agents in dynamic, real-world environments. This is an opportunity to shape the backbone of a platform designed for massive scale from day one — where your infrastructure decisions directly impact how autonomous systems perform in production.
  • *This is an on-site role based in San Francisco.
  • *Your responsibilities will include:
Build a high-performance, fault-tolerant infrastructure layer that:
  • Orchestrates and coordinates thousands of autonomous AI agents in real time;
  • Scales reliably from early-stage deployments to large-scale production environments;
  • Maintains strict data isolation, integrity, and security across system boundaries;
  • Ensures resilience through monitoring, tracing, and automated recovery mechanisms;
  • Provides deep observability into system performance, agent behavior, and operational health;
  • Design and scale distributed backend systems using Python-based architecture;
  • Develop robust asynchronous workflows and services supporting complex agent lifecycles;
  • Optimize API rate limits and integrations across multiple model and data providers;
  • Design and implement GPU-enabled infrastructure to improve cost efficiency and throughput;
  • Build internal observability tooling and dashboards for real-time performance tracking;
  • Architect systems with privacy, security, and confidentiality as first principles;
  • Collaborate cross-functionally while protecting sensitive infrastructure and proprietary systems;
  • Take ownership of critical infrastructure components as we move from stealth to scaled deployment.
  • *What we expect from you:
  • Proven experience scaling products or companies from 0→1;
  • Strong expertise in
  • *Python (6+ years)

and distributed systems engineering;

  • Deep understanding of scalability, fault tolerance, and data isolation principles;
  • Hands-on experience with
  • *PostgreSQL, Redis**
, and asynchronous job queue systems;
  • Ability to balance trade-offs between performance, cost, and reliability;
  • High ownership mindset and comfort operating in a small, high-trust team;
  • Commitment to maintaining security and discretion in sensitive production environments;
  • Preferred:*
  • Experience with GPU infrastructure or orchestration frameworks;
  • Background in multi-tenant or agent-based architectures;
  • Experience with observability, tracing, and distributed monitoring systems;
  • *We offer:**
  • The opportunity to join at a critical inflection point as we scale beyond stealth;
  • Ownership over core infrastructure powering large-scale autonomous systems;
  • A technically ambitious environment designing for exponential growth from day one;
  • Close collaboration with a small, highly skilled engineering team;
  • Direct impact on systems operating in live production environments;
  • A role where technical excellence, autonomy, and long-term thinking are highly valued.
