About this role
<h2><strong>AI Infrastructure Engineer - Agent Sandbox Platform</strong></h2> <p>As a Software Engineer on the AI Infrastructure team, you&39;ll help build and evolve our agent sandboxing platform — the secure, high-performance code execution layer powering our agentic workflows, deployed across both internal and customer-managed environments. This is a role for someone who cares as much about the experience of the engineers and researchers using this system as they do about the kernel internals underneath it.</p> <p>You&39;ll combine deep systems expertise (isolation, virtualization, performance) with an obsession for developer experience: clean APIs, clear error messages, good docs, and a client library that feels well-crafted. You&39;ll partner closely with internal teams to understand how they use the platform, debug their issues, and shape a roadmap that balances immediate needs with long-term architecture.</p> <h3>You will:</h3> <ul> <li>Design and build the sandboxing platform, client library, and API surface for secure code execution across containerized and virtualized environments</li> <li>Ensure strong isolation, security, and reproducibility of execution across user sessions and workloads</li> <li>Optimize for cold-start latency, memory footprint, and resource utilization at scale</li> <li>Drive down error rates through systematic debugging, monitoring, and proactive fixes</li> <li>Partner closely with internal teams using the platform to understand their needs, debug issues, and build tooling that serves their use cases</li> <li>Respond to incidents and production issues with urgency, conducting root cause analysis and implementing preventive fixes</li> <li>Help develop and maintain a product roadmap for sandboxing, balancing immediate needs against long-term architectural investment</li> <li>Lead
