They work in person five days a week in their San Francisco office, moving quickly, solving hard problems, and avoiding micromanagement. The Role This position focuses on designing and scaling distributed systems that support huge ML and ETL workloads across petabytes of video. You will own core infrastructure: compute scheduling, orchestration, throughput, reliability, cost efficiency, and the internal tooling that keeps the entire engineering group moving at pace. The company is beginning to scale its infrastructure footprint aggressively, and this role will become central to that growth. It is a hands-on IC position suited to someone who has operated critical systems before and wants to shape the foundation of a rapidly expanding platform. What You'll Work On • Architect and scale distributed systems for large-scale ML and ETL workloads • Build compute orchestration and scheduling across thousands of GPUs • Improve uptime, resilience, and execution speed of high-volume data pipelines • Design pipelines capable of handling petabyte-level video datasets • Lead the development of CI/CD and internal tooling for fast iteration • Partner closely with research engineers delivering new video models and algorithms • Operate in a high-trust environment with strong autonomy and clear ownership Requirements • 3+ years building foundational distributed systems or data infrastructure • Experience running critical systems at significant scale • Proficient across cloud architectures • Strong coding experience with Go (preferred) and Python • Background building or maintaining large-scale pipelines • Experience with ML-focused CI/CD and automation • Video domain experience is not required • Operates as a strong IC who leads through action • Fully onsite in San Francisco, Monday to Friday Culture Fit • Enjoys ambiguity, problem discovery, and self-direction • Communicates clearly and concisely • Shows strong intellectual curiosity • Low ego, collaborative mindset • Motivated by building core systems in a small, high-caliber team Red flags include weak communication, low curiosity, or unclear motivation for the domain. Interview Process Intro call focused on culture, curiosity, and communication Technical discussion on background and complexity of past work Problem-solving session with a research engineer Onsite research problem and collaboration exercise

Agent Systems Engineer - San Francisco or Redwood City A company who are building AI systems with general physical ability are looking for a Senior Agent Systems Engineer to design and implement the planning, orchestration and tool-use behaviors that allow AI Agents to operate complex physical and experimental workflows. What Will I Be Doing: Build agent planners, tool-call flows, and state machines using LangGraph or similar frameworks. Design schemas, action adapters, and cross-tool interfaces enabling deterministic, traceable LLM tool use. Develop error handling, timeout strategies, retries, rollbacks, and replay mechanisms for robust agent behavior. Collaborate with systems architecture, infrastructure, and ML teams to integrate agents into real engineering toolchains. What We're Looking For: Strong experience building agent systems, LLM tool-calling pipelines, or structured orchestration frameworks. Deep understanding of schemas, action abstractions, reproducibility, and deterministic multi-step execution. Ability to reason about system-level failure modes, edge cases, and safe tool interaction. Comfortable working across AI, systems, and domain-tooling interfaces in a fast-moving, high-precision environment. Above all, we're looking for candidates who demonstrate world-class excellence. What's in It for Me $200k - $300k dependent on experience and meaningful equity The chance to build foundational agentic infrastructure for physical AI Ownership of end-to-end, real-world systems that directly drive scientific breakthroughs A role at the core of a rapidly growing, deeply technical team The opportunity to define how AI interacts with the physical world Apply now for immediate consideration!
