Founding Infrastructure Engineer

About the Role You will be the technical owner of the platform's operational backbone. You will harden the platform for major launches, perform load testing, and build fallback routing and per-agent monitoring. You will implement end-to-end observability and integrated trace analysis across heterogeneous infrastructure, ship downtime warnings and fallback behavior, and implement routing transparency and endpoint provenance so users can verify which backend served their inference. You will improve performance of public endpoints, integrate programmatic infrastructure interfaces such as an MCP server, and make the utility more transparent and contributable. You will set priorities autonomously, operate production inference and ML serving infrastructure, and coordinate with cloud providers, HPC centers, and other infrastructure partners. Occasional travel for team workshops may be required.

Requirements Significant experience operating production inference or ML serving infrastructure (vLLM, model routing, multi-region deployments, GPU-backed services) Strong distributed systems and SRE instincts including observability, incident response, fallback design, and capacity planning Comfort working across heterogeneous infrastructure partners including cloud providers and HPC centers Experience orchestrating many stacks and integrating open-source projects Maintainer and integrator experience with pride in operational excellence Ability to work autonomously in a small team and travel occasionally for workshops
