Founding Engineer – Infrastructure

About the Role This is the first infrastructure hire at a fast-moving agentic integration platform building for the real economy. You'll work directly with the CTO as a true peer and founding team member — owning the entire infrastructure and platform layer from day one, with a clear path to leading the infra team within roughly 12 months. Think of the core product as a mini cloud platform for integration runtime: durable execution, sandboxed isolation, and self-healing systems — plus the agent infrastructure and observability story that ties it all together. What You'll Do Build and own the integration runtime platform — durable execution, sandboxed isolation, self-healing behaviour (think: a Vercel-style platform purpose-built for integration workloads). Own the agent infrastructure — coding agents that write, test, and deploy integration code, running reliably at scale in production. Deliver full observability across every integration and agent run, including a self-hostable, single-tenant deployment path for enterprise customers. Set the engineering patterns that every future infrastructure hire builds on. Participate in infra-related hiring and grow into leading the team that owns this domain. Ship to production constantly, collaborating closely with founders and engineering peers. What We're Looking For Required 3+ years of hands-on infrastructure or platform engineering experience at a high-growth startup or equivalent fast-paced environment. Production Kubernetes experience — deployment, day-to-day operations, and debugging at 2 a.m. Track record of owning infrastructure or a platform end-to-end , not merely contributing to one. Experience building or operating self-hosted, single-tenant deployment architectures. Proficiency in TypeScript development. Hands-on experience deploying and scaling PostgreSQL . Solid working knowledge of AWS cloud services. Docker / containerized environment experience. Ability and willingness to work on-site in the San Francisco Bay Area (relocation support available). Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills; comfortable working directly with founders. Nice to Have Experience with agentic systems, LLM orchestration, or AI-driven developer tooling. Background in integration platforms, workflow engines, or durable execution frameworks (e.g., Temporal). Prior experience hiring or leading a small infrastructure team. Compensation & Benefits Salary: $175,000 – $300,000 USD annually, depending on experience. Early-stage equity as a founding team member. Visa sponsorship available. Location On-site — San Francisco, CA, United States. Relocation support available for the right candidate.
