Job Description

We’re an early-stage stealth startup building a new kind of platform for generative media. Our mission is to enable the future of real-time generative applications : we’re building the foundational tools and infrastructure that make entirely new categories of generative experiences and applications finally possible.

We’re a small, focused team of ex-YC and unicorn founders and senior engineers with deep experience across 3D, generative video, developer platforms, and creative tools. We're backed by top-tier investors and top angels, and we're building a new technical foundation purpose-built for the next era of generative media.

We’re operating at the edge of what’s technically possible : high-performance inference and real-time orchestration of multimodal models. As one of our founding engineers, you’ll play a key role in architecting the core platform, shaping system design decisions, and owning critical infrastructure from day one.

If you're excited about architecting and building high-performance infrastructure that empowers the next generation of developers and unlocks entirely new products categories, we’d love to talk.

We’re looking for a Founding Engineer with deep backend and infrastructure experience to build the foundation of our cloud compute platform. You’ll be responsible for architecting and scaling the systems that power real-time generative workloads for next-gen applications.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain our core Python platform, which includes :
  • Request routing, AI workload orchestration, GPU resource management.
  • Observability, authentication, rate limiting, and more.
  • Develop and maintain infrastructure using Terraform, Ansible, and cloud / bare metal provider APIs.
  • Own critical systems and tooling : Kubernetes, FluxCD, Nomad, Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, Loki, distributed storage, and networking.
  • Set the vision and roadmap for our infrastructure stack for the next 1 / 2 / 5 years

Requirements

About You

  • 5+ years of experience in cloud computing, infrastructure engineering, or DevOps roles.
  • Proficiency in cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and their associated services (compute, storage, networking).
  • Experience with container orchestration systems like Kubernetes, Docker, and serverless architectures.
  • Strong knowledge of cloud security best practices and data management strategies.
  • Demonstrated ability to optimize cloud resource usage effectively while balancing performance and cost.
  • Startup mindset : you thrive in fast-paced environments and take ownership of projects from concept to execution.
  • Minimum Qualifications

  • Expertise in cloud platforms and services.
  • Experience with infrastructure as code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Familiarity with CI / CD pipelines and automation of deployment processes.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to implement monitoring and alerting solutions.
  • Benefits

  • Competitive SF salary and foundational team equity
  • Create a job alert for this search
