About the job
Infrastructure Technical Staff Member
On-site | Full-time
Compensation: CA$190K – CA$280K
Join our innovative team at mlabs as we create open-source browser infrastructure that drives the future of AI agents. With over 6,000 stars on GitHub and millions of browser sessions served monthly, our platform has experienced phenomenal growth, expanding 50x in 2025 alone. Our technology empowers developers to create seamless web interactions through our robust API.
As one of the pioneering team members, you will collaborate with a high-performance group of four talented individuals, backed by top-tier investors, as we tackle the most challenging issues in distributed systems—from kernel-level debugging to global VM orchestration.
The Role
As an Infrastructure Technical Staff Member, your mission will be to build and enhance the distributed systems that support millions of browser sessions. Given the resource-intensive nature of browsers, your focus will be on optimizing performance, ensuring rapid startup times, and maintaining strong multi-tenant isolation across our infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities:
- Global Orchestration: Design and maintain VM orchestration using technologies such as Nomad, Firecracker, and Kubernetes, with a focus on intelligent scheduling and achieving sub-second cold starts.
- Systems Engineering: Implement kernel-level observability with eBPF and enhance resource isolation through cgroup v2 and NUMA scheduling.
- Networking: Develop high-performance networking layers, including anycast routing and cross-region failover.
- Infrastructure as Code: Manage multi-cloud deployments across AWS, GCP, and Azure while overseeing customer VPCs with Pulumi.
- Product Ownership: Create developer tools for reliable browser automation and actively contribute to our open-source ecosystem.
Requirements
- Experience: A minimum of 5 years in operating production-scale distributed systems capable of processing thousands of requests per second.
- Linux Internals: Extensive knowledge of the Linux kernel, syscall optimization, and eBPF.
- Security & Isolation: Proven experience with multi-tenancy, resource limits, and security boundaries.
- Network Fundamentals: Competency in diagnosing complex production issues such as packet loss or routing failures at the protocol level.
- Execution: A proactive approach to ownership of outcomes from architecture through to deployment.
