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 Senior Engineer on Stacklok's core platform team, you will own subsystems within Stacklok Enterprise, the production distribution of ToolHive, the open source platform for running and governing MCP servers.
What they're looking for
- Deep proficiency in Go, with a proven track record building production-grade backend or platform systems
- Knowledge of Kubernetes and container technologies, including operators, isolation, and networking in production environments
- Proven track record designing and shipping complete systems end to end, from architecture through production and iteration
- Demonstrated experience as a tech lead: mentoring engineers, driving code review, and raising the quality of a team's work
- Experience designing for reliability and observability, building systems with monitoring, testing, and evaluation in mind
- Proven track record building or operating platform services such as gateways, registries, runtimes, or deployment tooling. Familiarity with MCP 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.
This is a remote role based in North America, with a strong preference for candidates located in the U.S. Eastern Time Zone .
