Model & Agent Hosting
  • Build agent deployment platform (isolated environments, scheduling, state)
  • Implement model hosting strategy (external APIs self-hosted inference)
  • Capture full agent telemetry
  • Build CI/CD for live agent updates (zero downtime)
Infrastructure & Ops
  • Monitoring and alerting systems
  • AWS/EKS infrastructure management
  • Incident response and reliability

Requirements
  • Staff-level backend engineer (Go, Python, TypeScript)
  • Experience building systems from scratch
  • Real-time systems experience (low latency, websockets)
  • Strong DB experience (Postgres, Redis, analytics DBs)
  • Kubernetes (AWS EKS)
  • Full ownership of production systems
Bonus Skills
  • LLM/model serving infra (vLLM, TGI, etc.)
  • Trading / fintech systems
  • Onchain infrastructure
  • Multi-agent systems
  • CI/CD for live systems
