About Code Metal

Code Metal: Verifiable, AI-enabled code translation. For companies doing edge development, code portability, and code modernization across industries like automotive, defense, semiconductors, and aerospace. Speed time-to-market, meet safety and compliance... Backed by Accel.

About the role

Code Metal's engineering teams are building AI-driven code transpilation, modernization, optimization, modeling and simulation solutions. They all need the same foundations: models to serve, agents to run, context to manage, and results to measure. Our AI Platform team builds those foundations. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Production-grade Python and strong platform engineering fundamentals: API and service design, distributed systems, containers and Kubernetes, CI/CD, and testing
  • Shipped production agentic systems, with a clear sense of where they break and how to make them reliable
  • Experience with context engineering: retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, vector / hybrid search, and memory for agents, ideally over code or large technical corpora
  • Experience instrumenting services (for example, with OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics) and operating AI services against SLOs
  • Staff-level technical leadership: owned architecture across multiple systems or teams, written design docs and RFCs, turned ambiguous needs from several internal customers into a roadmap, and mentored engineers
  • Highly desirable: Production experience running an LLM gateway or proxy such as SMG or Bifrost, or equivalent experience building an API gateway, including routing, auth, rate limiting, quotas, failover, and cost attribution
More about this role

Code Metal is the leader in automated software engineering you can trust. As AI writes more of the world's code, the bottleneck in software has shifted from writing code to verifying it works, and AI cannot verify its own work with certainty. Code Metal takes a fundamentally different approach: constrain AI to what it does reliably, verify every step independently of the model using formal methods, and keep engineers in the loop on the decisions that matter. The result isn't code that probably works — it's code that is provably correct, with auditable proof. Customers including the U.S. Air Force, L3Harris, RTX, and Toshiba use Code Metal to modernize legacy code, optimize performance on real hardware, and move prototypes to production, fast. Founded in 2023 with offices in Boston and San Francisco, Code Metal is funded by Accel, Salesforce Ventures, B Capital, Smith Point Capital, J2 Ventures, Shield Capital, Overmatch, RTX, and others.
