Lead AI Systems Engineer
We're seeking an exceptional Senior Software Engineer to join our team in building the backbone of the future of agent-based development.
This is a unique opportunity to design and implement core systems powering our AI Gateway, including the model router, MCP gateway, and control plane. You will build infrastructure that supports dynamic model selection, auto-failover, cost-based routing, and policy enforcement.
About the Role:
You'll own critical capabilities such as secure credential storage, session summarization, caching, and rate limiting. Develop APIs for developers building with OpenAI-compatible interfaces and the Model Context Protocol.
Key Responsibilities:
Build a unified abstraction layer across diverse model and tool providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, AWS Bedrock)
Implement secure and scalable identity and credential vaulting for tool and model access
Create infrastructure to support real-time and historical analytics of AI agent behavior
Ensure policy enforcement and logging works end-to-end—from prompt to tool to response
You'll also develop seamless developer experiences through intuitive APIs and first-class observability.
About You:
To be successful in this role, you'll need 6+ years of backend engineering experience with production-grade systems. You should have deep knowledge of distributed and highly scalable systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and API design.
Familiarity with Go, Rust, or similar languages is a must, along with experience building secure, high-throughput services (e.g., gateways, proxies, load balancers, policy engines).
A strong product mindset, ownership mentality, and bias for shipping, learning, and iterating are essential qualities for this position.
