• Visa: US citizenship/visa not required
• Skills: Go, Kubernetes

Help us expand what AI agents can build. Limrun runs development tools and applications as cloud services that agents can use from wherever they run. We're hiring an engineer to build and scale that platform.

The role

You'll help decide what to build and own projects from design through ongoing maintenance. You'll also join the on-call rotation, investigate production incidents, and fix their causes.

What you'll do

• Build and launch new tools, features, and cloud services, including the Go services, APIs, and Kubernetes controllers behind them.
• Reduce startup times, improve scheduling, and make better use of compute as demand grows.
• Build and maintain the tenant isolation, access controls, and networking that protect customer workloads and data.
• Automate host provisioning, upgrades, and recovery from failures.
• Work with customers to understand their workflows and turn problems they encounter into better APIs, tooling, and product features.

What we're looking for

• You've built, operated, and scaled production cloud infrastructure, with responsibility for deployment, observability, and reliability.
• You've written and maintained Go services in production and can reason about concurrent code.
• You understand Kubernetes architecture and controller patterns well enough to build on them and debug their behavior.
• You can investigate failures across application code, networking, and operating systems.
• You've shipped production software or infrastructure using AI-assisted development.
