What You’ll Do

  • Use AI agents as integral tools for exploration, debugging, and code generation—moving fast through iterative prototyping and testing to find what works best.

  • Test - build automated test pipelines and tools to ensure that AI generated outputs meet functional and performance standards.

  • Design and implement core runtime components in a highly performant and secure environment.

  • Collaborate across product, systems, and AI initiatives to expand runtime capabilities—enabling deeper visibility, control, and intelligence within running workloads.

  • Prototype and product ionize interfaces where AI systems interact safely with low-level software (e.g., introspection hooks, event streams, telemetry).

  • Drive projects end-to-end: design, build, test, deploy, measure, and iterate.

  • Contribute to our engineering culture of curiosity, rigor, and technical excellence.

  • Work primarily in-office from our South Park / SOMA location, collaborating closely with a small, deeply technical team.

What You’ll Bring
  • You have 1–5 years of software engineering experience
    —or you’re a strong recent graduate—ideally with exposure to systems or runtime development like compilers, instrumentation, observability, distributed systems, or optimizing performance-critical code paths

  • Strong proficiency in Go and/or Type Script, with a deep understanding of performance, concurrency, and systems fundamentals.

  • Comfortable using AI and agentic systems to move fast—balancing experimentation with sound engineering judgment on when to trust the tools and when to dig in yourself.

  • Experience deploying production software in cloud-native environments (Docker, Kubernetes, modern CI/CD, Terraform/Pulumi).

  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills; comfortable in a fast-moving, low-ego engineering culture.

Nice to Have
  • Experience with Claude Code.

  • Background in observability or introspection tooling.

  • Interest in how AI can enhance system visibility, security, or automation.

Why You’ll Love Working Here
  • Work on cutting-edge runtime technology at the intersection of security, observability, and AI.

  • Collaborate with an experienced, thoughtful team that values deep technical understanding and craftsmanship.

  • A collaborative, in-person environment in the heart of San Francisco’s South Park / SOMA district.

  • The opportunity to shape how modern developers build, ship, and secure software in the AI-accelerated era.

Compensation
  • Equity and benefits available.

  • Non-elective 401k contributions.
