About The Company

Our client is an early-stage, venture-backed AI startup building infrastructure for large-scale agent orchestration. Founded in 2024, the team is small (:10 people) and moving fast in one of the most competitive areas of AI. Engineers here operate as hands-on individual contributors with outsized ownership over the product.

About The Role

This is a hands-on IC role building and scaling the distributed systems that power large-scale agent orchestration. You'll own meaningful infrastructure end to end, working directly on the hard distributed-systems problems that sit at the core of the product. This is a builder seat, not a management track.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build and scale distributed services that orchestrate very large numbers of AI agents processing high volumes of tokens in real time
• Solve parallelization challenges including race conditions, real-time streaming of agent outputs, and write-throughput optimization
• Design and deploy production infrastructure as a primary individual contributor
