What are the responsibilities and job description for the Platform Engineer position at REALM?
We’re partnering with a venture-backed AI startup in New York building autonomous software for engineering teams. Their AI agents investigate production issues, find root causes and ship fixes. They’re backed by a top-tier Series A and are hiring a Platform Engineer to build the foundations the company runs on.
The role:
You’ll own the backend services and data systems that the AI agents, product and customer integrations depend on.
What you’ll do:
- Design the schema, storage and access patterns for the data the agents rely on
- Build backend services in TypeScript on top of that data
- Develop the integration layer connecting agents to customer environments, including authentication
- Improve service infrastructure on Kubernetes, including deploys and observability
What we’re looking for:
- 3 years in backend or platform engineering, ideally at a startup or AI-native company
- Strong TypeScript and production Kubernetes experience
- Strong systems design and data modelling skills
- Heavy daily use of AI tools in your workflow
- Bonus: OAuth or API gateways, OpenTelemetry, Kafka or ClickHouse, or LLM and agent systems
Why join:
- Small team with real ownership and direct access to the founders
- Frontier agentic AI work on a product engineers relate to
- Meaningful early-stage equity alongside a strong base
Compensation: $200,000 to $300,000 base, flexibility to go higher for exceptional candidates, plus equity
Location: On-site in New York City
