At Tasklet, we're building the cloud agent OS for work. Our agents are a complex orchestration of LLMs, virtual machines, storage infrastructure, external integrations, triggers, and other systems that all work together to make AI feel like magic.

We're looking for a staff-level software engineer to help us design & build the next generation of our core agent infrastructure. This is a leadership role with generous equity intended for a truly exceptional candidate.

Compensation

  • $280k → $380k salary
  • 0.4% → 0.8% equity
  • Competitive benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, 4 weeks PTO, free lunch, etc)

Responsibilities

  • Own the architecture & continuous improvement of core parts of our agent's technical infrastructure
  • Identify, design, build, ship, and improve new agent features
  • Become a world expert at context engineering, including following the latest research & tech. Do whatever is needed to keep us at the frontier.
  • Define abstractions that enable the entire team to ship rapidly and reliably on top of your code
  • Step up to solve challenges wherever needed—this is a startup, and we're all in it together!

Our ideal candidate

  • Very strong CS fundamentals & a systems engineering or distributed systems background
  • Exceptional, AI-native programming skills using an ultra-modern stack
  • You were the technical lead for a large scale cloud system that's currently in production
  • You're AGI-pilled & deep into relevant AI tech. You're currently building an AI agent system.
  • You could easily be an engineering leader on an agent product at a top AI lab — but you want the outsized impact of a startup and you believe Tasklet can win.
