This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of AI agent infrastructure at a massively ambitious scale, backed by industry veterans and technical leaders, NVIDIA Inception, Google for Startups, and Microsoft for Startups.

We're building the foundational infrastructure for the next wave of AI companies, enabling frontier AI developers (many leaving labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind) to build products powered by enormous networks of highly capable next-generation AI agents.

We're looking for technical leaders who have scaled startups before and are excited about tackling fundamental challenges in AI infrastructure. These roles offer the impact and ownership of early-stage work combined with the resources to execute at scale. If you've built and scaled technical teams before and are excited about shaping how the next generation of AI systems will work together, we want to talk - even if you're not sure exactly what role would be the perfect fit.
