## About the role

Building an agent-native cloud requires rethinking traditional infrastructure. You’re not simply deploying containers—you’ll build the runtime that schedules workloads, manages networking, provisions compute, scales infrastructure, and gives AI agents the APIs they need to operate production systems.

## What they're looking for

- Work directly with the founders to design and build the compute runtime powering InsForge
- Own major infrastructure systems from initial architecture through production
- Build container scheduling, placement, autoscaling, and lifecycle management
- Improve cold starts, provisioning speed, and deployment reliability
- Design systems for both stateful and stateless workloads
- Build networking primitives, including service discovery, load balancing, and private networking
