Software Engineer

Salary: $150k - $210k

Company Description: Stealth stage AI venture startup

Job Description:
You will design and scale the core distributed systems orchestrating thousands of autonomous AI agents. This role involves building fault-tolerant infrastructure, optimizing API performance, and developing local GPU systems. Joining a small, high-trust team, you will bridge the gap between complex infrastructure and real-world business automation in a stealth environment.

Location: San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable:

  • Work on agentic systems that run entire businesses rather than just simple chat interfaces.

  • High-impact opportunity at a stealth startup backed by top-tier VCs and experienced founders.

  • Design for massive scale from day one using a cutting-edge tech stack and GPU infrastructure.

What you will do:

  • Architect distributed systems to coordinate thousands of autonomous agents with real-time monitoring.

  • Drive horizontal scaling and optimize API rate limits across various model and data providers.

  • Develop local GPU infrastructure and observability tools to ensure system health and cost efficiency.

The ideal candidate:

  • Strong experience in Python and designing scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems.

  • Deep understanding of PostgreSQL, Redis, and asynchronous job queue systems for data isolation.

  • Ability to work in a high-discretion environment with a commitment to security and privacy.

Who are Jack & Jill?
Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.
And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

Next steps
Step 1. Visit our website .
Step 2. Click 'Talk to Jack' .
Step 3. Talk to Jack so he can understand your experience and ambitions.
Step 4. Jack will make sure Jill (the AI agent working for the company) considers you for this role.
Step 5. If Jill thinks you're a great fit and her client wants to meet you, they will make the introduction.
Step 6. If not, Jack will find you excellent alternatives. All for free.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
