About the role

WHO WE ARE We are an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents. We're the team behind Devin, the first AI software engineer, and Windsurf, an AI-native IDE. These products represent our vision for AI that doesn't just assist engineers, but works alongside them as a genuine teammate. Our team is small and talent-dense: world-class competitive programmers, former founders, and researchers from the frontier of AI, including Scale AI, Palantir, Cursor, Google DeepMind, and others. ROLE MISSION Research moves at the speed of the infrastructure underneath it. Every training run, evaluation loop, and experimental iteration depends on systems that are fast, reliable, and built to scale. This role exists to make sure nothing in the stack becomes the bottleneck that slows down the frontier. You will own the core systems that researchers depend on daily: distributed training infrastructure, experiment orchestration, data pipelines, and the tooling that turns raw compute into usable
