About us
LightSprint brings product and engineering teams into one shared workflow for building software. Coding agents work on real codebases in isolated sandboxes, with previews people can inspect before changes go through engineering review and merge.
We want it to feel simple to the person asking for a change and dependable to the engineer responsible for the code. The infrastructure underneath has to make both possible.
The role
We’re looking for a senior software engineer to work on the systems that launch, run, and retire sandbox environments for agent-driven software changes. You’ll own infrastructure work from design to production operation, and work closely with the product and engineering team to make each session fast to start, useful to collaborate in, and safe to review.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can move between application code and cloud infrastructure. You should enjoy debugging a failed environment as much as designing the system that prevents the next one.
What you’ll do
- Build reliable sandboxes. Improve how environments are provisioned, configured, isolated, observed, and cleaned up as agents work on customer codebases.
- Make previews dependable. Help teams get working preview environments quickly, diagnose setup failures, and understand what happened when a run goes wrong.
- Design for safe execution. Think through permissions, secrets, network boundaries, resource limits, and lifecycle controls for code that runs in isolated environments.
- Connect the work to engineering review. Build and maintain the paths between an agent’s changes, the repository, checks, and the human review process.
