Urun - Founding Engineer - Platform
Requirements
• 7+ years as an engineer, with a proven track record architecting and owning large-scale production systems • Deep Kubernetes expertise, including GPU-heavy clusters (NVIDIA tooling, autoscaling on GPU nodes) and service-mesh patterns • Strong cloud and infrastructure-as-code: AWS, GCP, or Azure; Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent; networking and security (VPC, IAM, API-gateway-style routing) • SRE-style thinking and observability depth: Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, SLOs, incident response, and post-mortems • Proficiency in at least one of Python, Go, or TypeScript/Node.js for platform tooling, automation, and glue code • Experience with streaming or real-time systems: WebRTC, low-latency video pipelines, or comparable latency-sensitive workloads. This is central to the role, not a bonus • A track record of mentoring engineers and influencing cross-functional teams • THINGS THAT WILL GIVE YOU AN EDGE • Hands-on experience with GPU-constrained, memory-bound, or bursty workloads • Experience writing custom Kubernetes controllers, scaling logic, or other platform features in-house • Early-stage startup experience: owning ambiguous problems end-to-end and setting technical direction with limited scaffolding • WHAT YOU'LL GET IN RETURN • Competitive salary and meaningful equity in an early-stage AI infrastructure company. The band above is our target; for an exceptional candidate we'll go higher. Equity is real, you're early, and the grant reflects that. • Health, dental, and vision — full coverage • 401(k) — company-supported retirement savings • FSA/HSA — flexible spending accounts for healthcare costs • Paid time off — we trust you to manage your time • Top-tier tooling — access to the best AI tools available: Claude, Codex, Kimi, and whatever else helps you move faster • MacBook Pro and AirPods — the hardware you need, on us • HOW WE WORK (AND WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE DAY-TO-DAY) • We build the stage, not the show. We're an infrastructure company, a developer-tools company, and a production partner for model labs, and focus is a deliberate choice we've made and hold to. • Day-to-day, that means a small team, a high bar, and real ownership. You won't wait for permission or inherit a backlog of someone else's decisions, in a founding security role, the function is what you make it. • Watch our launch party video https://www.linkedin.com/posts/whatcanurun-ugcPost-7460358302183596032-Yhde?rcm=ACoAACk3J5EBo0AnESrfELpk5q0Fzw2bm2AHvq8&utm_medium=member_desktop&utm_source=share • Read the manifesto https://blog.urun.sh • Follow us on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/urunml/ • Follow us on X https://x.com/urunml
