We're a small, high-leverage team organized around three pillars: Platform & Tooling, Infrastructure & Hosting, and Applied AI Builds. This role anchors the Infrastructure & Hosting pillar. This is the runtime layer everything else depends on.
What it asks for · 5
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time in infrastructure, platform, or backend engineering
- A track record of building internal platforms or paved paths that other engineers and teams adopted, not just maintained, with excellent communication skills collaborating across security, IT, and business teams
- Strong system design skills and experience architecting resilient, observable production systems
- Hands-on experience with LLM operations: model gateways or routing, agent runtimes, evals, or cost/usage instrumentation
- Experience with identity and access management in an enterprise environment (e.g., Okta, SSO, secure service-to-service auth)
Also a plus
- Experience building internal AI platforms or workspaces (the Ramp Glass / JPMorgan LLM Suite category) or developer platforms at a comparable scale
- Familiarity with MCP, agent orchestration frameworks, or skill/plugin registry patterns
- Experience working within audit and compliance programs (SOX/ITGC) or building systems with audit requirements
- A history of being the first infrastructure hire on a small team, comfortable setting standards from scratch across a broad scope of responsibilities
What the job covers
- Design and build the hosting golden path for internal AI applications, bots, and agents, including runtime patterns for long-running workflows, scheduled jobs, and agent execution
- Build the model routing layer that directs tasks across frontier and lower-cost models based on cost, capability, and policy with a full audit trail
- Stand up observability, usage analytics, audit logging, and per-team cost attribution for AI workloads across the company
- Integrate identity, access, and security patterns (Okta-connected by default) so every internal AI app is safe on day one, including the sanctioned path for workflows touching customer, financial, or people data
- Partner with engineers on our product AI infrastructure teams to share gateways and telemetry rather than building parallel systems
- Help shape the team's platform strategy, roadmap, and engineering best practices as a founding member of the infrastructure pillar
