The company builds agentic AI for intellectual property and legal teams, and its platform serves Fortune 500 customers with long-running, document-heavy workloads. The purpose of the hire is to own the Kubernetes platform underneath the product. As concurrent agent sessions grow from hundreds to thousands, you'll keep the infrastructure fast, secure and resilient.
