ROLE OVERVIEW

We are looking for a DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer to join a small, high-impact research engineering team building a new micro-VM platform optimized for low-latency, high-density agentic workloads. The team operates at the intersection of systems research and product engineering, with direct impact on how cloud infrastructure runs AI workloads at scale.

In this role, you will own the full infrastructure stack that supports the team: provisioning and managing compute environments, building and maintaining benchmarking frameworks, and ensuring a robust CI/CD and test pipeline. Your work directly unblocks the engineering team's ability to iterate quickly, validate results with confidence, and ship toward production.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Infrastructure Setup
• Provision and manage multi-platform cloud compute environments
• Automate environment configuration and reduce setup overhead
• Coordinate host access and isolation across team workloads
• Maintain cloud subscriptions in a compliant, cost-efficient manner
• Improve development environment and agentic engineering

Benchmarking Infrastructure
• Own and extend the benchmarking harness for VM lifecycle measurements
• Track key metrics: boot latency, snapshot/restore, teardown, memory footprint, throughput
• Design experiments for single-instance and concurrent-burst scenarios
• Surface regressions and validation improvements across system baselines

Testing Infrastructure
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines across all project repositories
• Automate build, test, and validation workflows on every commit
• Manage binary delivery channels for kernel, VM, and agent artifacts
• Accelerate developer iteration loops and reduce feedback
cycle time

WHY THIS ROLE

This project is at an inflection point - having achieved a key performance milestone, the team is now transitioning from research prototype to production hardening. The infrastructure is on the critical path. The right engineer in this role will directly shape the team's velocity and the reliability of results that drive product decisions.
You will work alongside a senior team of researchers and engineers defining what lightweight AI sandboxing looks like at cloud scale. Your contributions will be visible, technically demanding, and tied to outcomes that matter across multiple product lines.
