Stacklok gives enterprises an open, Kubernetes-native architecture to run AI agents securely with no vendor lock-in. Led by the co-creators of Kubernetes. Backed by Accel and Madrona.
About the role
Enterprises are moving AI agents from experimentation into production, and they need infrastructure that is secure, auditable, and runs behind their own firewall. As a Software Engineer II on Stacklok's core platform team, you will help build and harden the systems behind Stacklok Enterprise, the production distribution of ToolHive, the open source platform for running and governing MCP servers.
What they're looking for
- Proficiency in Go, writing clean, testable code that accounts for edge cases and error handling
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes and container technologies such as Docker, including isolation and networking, ideally in self-hosted environments
- Demonstrated ability to deliver features independently across a backend or platform codebase, from implementation through testing and into a release
- Experience building or operating platform services such as APIs, gateways, Kubernetes operators, or release and deployment tooling
- Demonstrated ability to write clear design docs and give thoughtful code reviews that raise the quality of shared work
- Comfort collaborating in an open source environment. Familiarity with MCP or AI-agent infrastructure is a plus
More about this role
Stacklok is led by CEO Craig McLuckie and CTO Joe Beda , two of the creators of Kubernetes. As AI reshapes how software is built and used, we're building the foundation enterprises need to adopt it with confidence.
We're building the control plane for enterprise AI agents, enabling organizations to run, govern, and secure them on the infrastructure they already trust. Through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers running across Kubernetes and private cloud environments, AI agents can securely connect to internal data and systems while meeting the security, compliance, and operational requirements of highly regulated and security-conscious organizations. We've also extended this foundation to the model layer with an enterprise AI gateway.
The Stacklok Enterprise Platform is built on ToolHive , our open source MCP platform, and is already being adopted by leading technology companies and organizations in regulated industries. We also help maintain the official MCP registry and contribute openly to the community shaping the future of enterprise AI.
