Your Impact

This role transcends maintenance; at Gradient Labs, you will take charge of critical systems — from initial architectural choices to production, scaling, and navigating obstacles along the way.

You will engineer the infrastructure that underpins reliable autonomous AI agents in real-world scenarios. This requires designing for resilience, ensuring observability, and deploying with assurance rather than waiting for an elusive perfect specification.

  • Develop the OS for AI Agents — Build a secure, scalable platform that allows rapid iterations on autonomous agent capabilities, ensuring AI performs effectively in production.

  • Implement Resilient Systems — Design and manage systems that withstand failures and resource constraints, with comprehensive observability integrated. Reliability is a fundamental expectation.

  • Transform Products from Concept to Scale — Initiate projects from scratch, make pivotal architectural decisions, and retain responsibility as they expand. We are committed to our builds and see them through.

  • Embrace Agility — Work in small, iterative cycles. Frequent deployments are expected. Comfort with uncertainty is imperative — our mission evolves faster than any roadmap.

What You Bring

  • Extensive experience developing production software in a fast-paced environment, ideally within fintech, AI, consumer technology, or similarly high-stakes industries.

  • Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to engineering challenges.

  • Familiarity with modern software development practices and methodologies.

  • Ability to work collaboratively within a team and communicate technical concepts effectively.
