What you need
- 7+ years of experience building and operating complex software and compute infrastructure
- Experience deploying an agentic harness such as OpenClaw, Hermes, SybilClaw, or a comparable system in a real work environment
- Strong Linux and macOS systems experience, including debugging services, processes, storage, permissions, and networking
- Experience operating physical infrastructure, VMs, or containers in production
- Strong networking fundamentals including routing, VLANs, DNS, and firewalls
- Ability to build software, scripts, CLIs, and integrations when existing tools aren't sufficient
Nice to have
- Experience with ITAR-regulated, air-gapped, export-controlled, or similarly constrained environments
- Experience operating local LLM inference with Ollama, MLX, vLLM, llama.cpp, or similar
- Experience with model routing, context management, tool execution, agent state, or multi-agent systems
- Experience building internal developer infrastructure used daily by other engineers
- Experience deploying systems into customer or forward-deployed environments
What you get
- Competitive salary and equity
- Generous PTO and sick leave policy
- Parental leave
- Annual learning and development stipend
Worth weighing
- In-office presence required at least three days per week, which may limit remote work flexibility
- Compensation is based on experience and qualifications, with a specified range but no guarantee of the higher end
- The role involves working with physical infrastructure, which may not appeal to those preferring fully remote or cloud-based roles
