Tasklet is building the AI platform companies use to run their business on agents. A customer describes an outcome in plain English, and Tasklet gets the work done across their tools and systems—immediately or in the cloud 24×7. We’re looking for unusually strong systems engineers to build the core machinery that makes Tasklet’s agents capable, reliable, efficient, and scalable. The work spans our agent harness, context management, filesystem, and execution environment, as well as model serving, databases, Kubernetes, networking, and cloud infrastructure. This role has a deep systems center of gravity, but no fixed boundary. You may move from reasoning about model behavior to runtimes, storage, distributed systems, or production infrastructure in the course of solving one problem. We care more about intelligence, first-principles reasoning, and strong computer-science fundamentals than a conventional AI résumé or exact stack match. We’re open to candidates from mid-level to Staff+. Regardless of level, this is a hands-on IC role: everyone at Tasklet personally builds and ships.
