About the job
As a leading innovator, Simular is creating the future of computer user agents, developing AI systems that can operate your computer on your behalf. Our backend infrastructure powers everything from live VM orchestration to agent planning and execution.
We seek a versatile backend/infrastructure engineer who excels in uncertain environments, possesses strong architectural instincts, and is eager to take ownership of substantial and evolving components of our system. This role is not limited to traditional 'DevOps' or 'API engineer' functions; you'll play a pivotal role in shaping our platform's scalability and evolution for years to come.
Key Responsibilities
Architect and scale the systems that support Simular Cloud and our cross-platform agents.
Oversee essential backend services, including APIs, data flows, billing systems, observability, and deployment pipelines.
Address complex infrastructure challenges such as VM orchestration, reproducibility, parallel execution, and reliability.
Identify opportunities to split or refactor services and lead that evolution.
Explore new avenues as products expand, including microVMs, multi-agent orchestration, fine-tuned model endpoints, and community task galleries.
Collaborate with product teams and researchers to transform ideas into production-ready systems.
Ideal Candidate Attributes
Proficient in programming fundamentals with solid skills in languages such as Python, Go, Rust, or similar.
Experience with some aspects of cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, virtualization, and CI/CD; most importantly, the ability to learn and adapt to new technologies as required.
Think architecturally, understanding when to hack and when to design for long-term success.
Comfortable managing large, ambiguous problems from start to finish.
Bonus: Experience with GPU scheduling, large-scale ML infrastructure, or scaling SaaS applications.
