Building AI for Infrastructure. This is not a DevOps, SRE, or platform role — this is a product-focused software engineering role, centered on building developer tools for the infrastructure layer. We are looking for a passionate software engineer who loves to build great things! They are on a mission to create an intelligent DevOps agent: Smart enough for developers to never worry about infrastructure. Secure and reliable enough for infrastructure engineers to trust it. They have already made waves: Built a widely adopted open-source runner for IaC. Co-founded OpenTofu , the open MPL fork of Terraform. You will join a team of three founders with past experience at Amazon, Fitbit, and Palantir. They recently raised their seed round from Initialized Capital and a dream lineup of devtools angels, including Olivier Pomel, David Cramer, and others. About You You’re excited to be the first engineering hire in a small, fast-moving team where you’ll have real ownership across the stack. You bring 2–3+ years of industry experience, ideally in early-stage startups. You’ve shipped real products and know how to move fast without breaking things. You’ve used IaC tools like Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, or Kubernetes—not necessarily as a DevOps engineer, but you’ve been close to the metal. You’re comfortable reasoning about distributed systems , and you enjoy building both delightful UIs and robust backends . You write clean, high-quality code quickly. We use TypeScript and Go today, that can change quickly, but we are tool-agnostic. You have a solid grounding in computer science fundamentals and math. Experience with infrastructure tooling — AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Golang. Active contributor or advocate for open-source — we live and breathe it. You’ve worked on developer tools and love talking to users. What You’ll Work On You’ll lead development across their open-source products: backend services, frontend UIs, infrastructure, and CLIs. While their open-source tooling is the current focus, we expect the scope to evolve quickly as we build toward broader adoption. Some problems you’ll tackle: Should an open-source TACO have a UI? What kind, and for whom? We’ve built three versions — help us get it right. How should we manage Terraform state? Today we support external state (S3, GCS, Azure), but owning state unlocks powerful use cases around drift detection, dependency management, and more. We currently run on GitHub Actions for compute — should we expand to managed runners or integrate with other CI/CD platforms and Kubernetes? This space is still nascent. They have built maybe 10% of what’s needed and need you to come and help build the remaining 90% of this exciting product. Compensation 0.5% - 2.0% equity Health insurance Free lunch in the office Meet founders for 30-45 minutes each. The whole thing should fit in a 2-hour block. They will ask you a series of technical, product as well as totally random questions. No coding puzzles as they will have a look at your github for that. They will be interested to understand how you go about building software products and businesses. We will get back to you with a decision or offer in 24 hrs.
