## Job Description

## About the AI control plane
Our platform enables enterprises and fast-moving startups to get the most out of Claude, Codex, Cursor and other providers by:

* Leveraging enterprise identity systems to secure access to MCP servers
* Securing agent sessions to ensure sensitive data and enterprise policies are respected.
* Providing easy to use primitives to build new mcps, skills and assistants (secure claw)
* Deeply understand AI usage within an organisation from tool use, token spend, and complete agent sessions.

## About the Role
This is a unique, high-impact opportunity to join a passionate team about an intuitive craft to enable solving green field and hard product problems. You’ll be working on an early product with a fast moving team that’s done this before and collaborating with founders (and customers) directly on a daily basis. Some of the ways you will have impact:

* Identify architectural changes to improve reliability, performance and availability.
* Foster a culture of reliability across Speakeasy's engineering organization.
* Design and implement key operational processes such as deployments, upgrades, rollbacks, and postmortem review.
* Join a core engineering team and participate in on-call rotation, responding to production incidents.
* Build monitoring systems that ensure the highest quality service for our customers.
* Debug production issues across all services and levels of the stack.

## You’re a good fit if...

* You want to join a talent-dense team made up of ex-founders and domain experts across various developer tools, languages, and infrastructure (in fact over a quarter of the team).
* Ownership excites you in the full lifecycle of development: building, shipping, running support, maintaining infrastructure and measuring impact.
* You have a record of full agency in improving a product's reliability and uptime.
* You have an exceptional ability to learn, pickup new frameworks, and can work across the stack from backend to frontend.
* Ability to participate in on-call rotation and respond to production incidents.
* Ability to work in person in our San Francisco Office
