About this role
Own the runtime and the self-hostable story.
Temper is an agentic integration platform for the real economy. You are our first infrastructure hire, working directly with Nick (CTO), on a leadership track. You start as the person who owns infra and grow into the person who leads it.
A mini cloud platform. Basically a Vercel for integration runtime: durable execution, sandboxed isolation, self-healing when things break.
The agent infrastructure. Coding agents that write, test, and deploy integration code, running at scale in production.
Observability and self-hosting. Full observability into every integration and agent, shipped as a single-tenant, self-hostable product.
3+ years at a high-growth startup. Fast, ambiguous, under-resourced environments.
You have run Kubernetes in production. Operated it, scaled it, debugged it at 2am.
You have owned infrastructure or a platform end-to-end. Owned, not contributed to.
You code with AI agents and lean into it, but have the taste not to ship slop.
- Top-quartile pay (cash and equity)
- Founding-team equity: every decision is yours to shape
- A top-tier office in San Francisco
- Equipment for maximum productivity: M5 MacBook Pro and more
- Full health coverage, 401(k) match
