Founding MTS

We're building a founding engineering team with complementary strengths across infrastructure, product engineering, and AI research. Depending on your expertise, your work could involve:

Platform & infrastructure

• Architect, build, and scale reliable infrastructure that powers our hiring and evaluation platform
• Own technical decisions across distributed systems and platform infrastructure, supporting high-throughput workloads

Product engineering

• Own product features end-to-end, from technical design through deployment and iteration
• Work closely with engineering and talent leaders at frontier technical teams and turn recurring customer needs into reusable platform capabilities

AI evaluation & research infrastructure

• Design RL environments, evaluation rubrics, and reward signals that expose meaningful limits in neo-human systems.
• Develop experiment orchestration and tracking systems for reproducible evaluations across humans and agents.
• Build meta-optimization systems that use evaluation results, human and agent trajectories, and failure analysis to iteratively improve evaluation design.

What we look for

Required qualifications

• Proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Node.js.
• A track record of building, shipping, and operating production systems OR experience in an early stage team
• Ability to break down ambiguous problems and move quickly from ideas to execution
• Strong independent judgment, with a willingness to challenge assumptions and take ownership of decisions
• Ability to learn quickly, incorporate feedback, and improve based on evidence

High signals

• Ex-founder
• Experience operating distributed systems, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), or serverless architectures
• Experience building high-throughput data pipelines and distributed data processing systems
• Experience with production-quality ML training, evaluation, or research infrastructure
• Hands-on experience with reinforcement learning, LLM fine-tuning, or post-training

You’ll work directly alongside the founders, shaping product and technical direction. If you have deep expertise in one or more of these areas and are passionate about the mission, you’d be a good fit at Litmus.
