What you need
- Strong software engineering fundamentals: writing, debugging, and reasoning about code independently of AI tooling, with a track record of building, not just maintaining

- Production-level AWS experience, including VPC design, EC2/ECS/Lambda, IAM, RDS, S3, and Kubernetes
- Terraform proficiency as a primary tool, not a secondary skill
- GitHub Actions or equivalent CI/CD pipeline experience at a production scale
- Comfort operating with significant autonomy on a small team where you ship fast, handle ambiguity, and self-enforce process
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience building or operating AI agent workflows using tools such as Claude Code, LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, or equivalent
- Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) server architecture and LLM context injection patterns
- Background in cybersecurity, incident response, or compliance-adjacent engineering environments
- Experience at a startup or high-growth environment where moving quickly, wearing multiple hats, and operating without a large support structure is the norm
What you get
- Competitive compensation plan and equity for all team members
- Remote workforce
- Generous paid time off plan and floating holidays
- Employer paid premiums for both team members and their dependents for medical, dental, and vision
- Comprehensive health, vision, dental, 401K matching program, disability, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health Savings Account (HSA), Life and AD&D benefits
