Software Engineer, AI Engineer, Machine Learning​/ ML Engineer

At Morph Systems
, we’re reimagining software engineering for a world where most code is written by large language models (LLMs). Our mission is to build the developer infrastructure of the future - an autonomous full-stack AI developer and the underlying platform.

If you’ve ever wanted to build the foundational systems that define how AI writes and understands software, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer with a deep systems background to design, build, and scale Morph’s LLM-powered development stack.

You’ll be part of a small, high-caliber team in Mountain View, CA
, building real systems that push the boundaries of compilers, databases, and distributed systems.

This is an opportunity to work directly at the intersection of AI, programming languages, and infrastructure engineering and to shape both the product and the culture of a fast-growing company.

• Design and implement core systems, compilers, query engines, databases, or developer infrastructure optimized for AI-generated code.
• Architect and build distributed systems that scale across millions of code operations, optimizing for performance and fault‑tolerance.
• Develop internal tools for model-assisted debugging, and model-assisted CI/CD pipelines.
• Prototype and iterate quickly with LLM applications and runtime components.
• Contribute to Morph’s engineering architecture and technical roadmap as an early member of the team.
• Collaborate across disciplines (frontier researchers in compilers and programming languages, infra engineers, and product designers) to define what AI-native software development looks like.

• 4-7 years of experience as a Software Engineer (or equivalent research experience).
• Strong knowledge of systems architecture, distributed computing, and performance optimization.
• Fluency in C++,
  Rust
  , or Python
  .
• Experience building from first principles - compilers, interpreters, query engines, databases, or simulation systems.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (PhD preferred).
• Ability to design and ship independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

• Experience with modern compiler design, Dev Ops/CI/CD, or AI-assisted developer tools.
• Background in real-time engines, simulation, or gaming systems (C++/Unity/UE5).
• Research or startup experience building new systems from scratch or in environments that scaled to acquisition.
• Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and computational theory.

• A systems thinker who loves deep technical challenges.
• Someone who builds for scale and takes pride in elegant, well‑architected solutions.
• A curious engineer who experiments, learns fast, and loves the energy of small teams solving hard problems.
• You’ve probably built your own tools before - a compiler, a rendering engine, a database, or an experiment that just wouldn’t let you sleep until it worked.

• Join a mission‑driven startup defining the next frontier of AI‑driven software engineering.
• Work with a small, world‑class team that values technical depth and creative problem‑solving.
• Competitive compensation and equity package.
• On‑site culture in Mountain View, CA
  , working hands‑on with the founders and engineers shaping this space.

At Morph, we’re not just writing code - we’re building the systems that will teach AI how to code. If that excites you, we’d love to meet you.
