Founding Software Engineer - Infrastructure

About InsForge

InsForge (https://insforge.dev/) is an agent-native cloud infrastructure platform. Think AWS or GCP, but built for AI coding agents to operate end to end.

About the role

Building an agent-native cloud requires rethinking traditional infrastructure.

You’re not simply deploying containers—you’ll build the runtime that schedules workloads, manages networking, provisions compute, scales infrastructure, and gives AI agents the APIs they need to operate production systems.

You’ll work across Linux, virtualization, networking, storage, distributed systems, and our control plane to make infrastructure that is reliable enough that developers never have to think about it.

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role with direct influence over the architecture and future of InsForge.

What you'll do

• Design and build the compute runtime powering InsForge
• Build container scheduling, placement, autoscaling, and lifecycle management
• Improve cold starts, provisioning speed, and deployment reliability
• Design systems for stateful and stateless workloads
• Build networking primitives including service discovery, load balancing, and private networking
• Work closely with Linux, containers, microVMs, and virtualization technologies
• Optimize storage systems, snapshots, cloning, and persistent volumes
• Improve platform observability, debugging, monitoring, and operational tooling
• Write design documents that take projects from proposal to production

What we're looking for

We’re looking for engineers who enjoy building infrastructure from first principles.

You probably have:

• Strong understanding of distributed systems
• Experience building production infrastructure or platform software
• Deep knowledge of Linux internals
• Experience with containers, Kubernetes, Docker, Firecracker, or virtualization technologies
• Familiarity with networking fundamentals including TCP/IP, routing, load balancing, DNS, and service discovery
• Excellent written communication and system design skills

Bonus points if you have experience building agent-native infrastructure, AI developer platforms, or tools designed for AI coding agents.
