About the role

Code Metal is strengthening Quality Engineering across its code-transformation platforms, language toolchains, and AI-assisted engineering workflows. Our teams already have meaningful validation practices in place. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Significant experience in systems software, compiler or language tooling, developer tools, embedded software, or low-level execution environments
  • Production-grade programming proficiency in Python and C++, plus the ability to read and debug unfamiliar C and Rust code
  • Experience designing and scaling automated test frameworks, distributed execution systems, or evaluation pipelines for complex systems software
  • Strong understanding of memory models, concurrency, runtime performance, and architecture-dependent behavior across CPU, GPU, embedded, or other constrained targets
  • Hands-on experience with Linux, containerized environments, continuous integration platforms, and modern build systems
  • Ability to translate ambiguous quality risks into measurable validation plans, explain tradeoffs clearly, and lead technical work across team boundaries
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.
