About the Role
We are hiring a Platform Engineer to help design, build, and operate the infrastructure and internal platform behind Rox’s agent runtime. This role focuses on platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, real-time data infrastructure, agent orchestration, and developer productivity. You will work across foundational infrastructure and developer platform experience, ensuring reliable, scalable, and observable systems in production while enabling rapid team iteration. This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy end-to-end system ownership, from infrastructure primitives and runtime reliability to deployment workflows, tooling, and operational excellence.
Responsibilities
- Design and build core infrastructure powering Rox agents.
- Improve the reliability, scalability, and observability of distributed systems.
- Build and maintain cloud infrastructure, deployment systems, and platform tooling.
- Develop systems for real-time context ingestion and low-latency retrieval.
- Support execution frameworks for long-running agent workflows.
- Improve developer experience through automation, tooling, and self-service infrastructure.
- Partner with product and forward deployed engineers to enable rapid iteration in production.
- Establish engineering standards for monitoring, incident response, performance, and operational maturity.
- Ship production systems quickly and evolve them based on real-world usage.
Requirements
- Experience building and operating production infrastructure and backend systems.
- Strong experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or distributed backend systems.
- Strong intuition for reliability, scalability, latency, and operational tradeoffs.
- Comfort debugging production systems and solving problems across infrastructure and application layers.
- Bias toward shipping, learning from production, and continuously improving systems.
- Ability to work across platform and infrastructure domains based on company priorities.
Skills
- Kubernetes and container orchestration
- Cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP)
- CI/CD and developer platforms
- Distributed systems and event-driven architectures
- Observability and reliability engineering
- Real-time data or streaming systems
About the Company
- Rox is building the AI-native revenue operating system, designed for agents operating systems rather than humans operating dashboards.
- Rox runs continuous decision loops powered by real-time context, enabling agents to analyze signals, reason, and take action automatically.
- The company's infrastructure combines distributed data platforms, real-time decision systems, agent execution frameworks, low-latency context retrieval, platform tooling, and developer infrastructure.
- Rox is backed by Sequoia, GV, and General Catalyst.
- The Foundations team builds the platform and infrastructure powering Rox agents.
- The Foundations team owns systems for real-time context ingestion, agent execution and orchestration, reliability for long-horizon AI tasks, developer infrastructure and platform tooling, observability and operational excellence, and low-latency decisioning across distributed systems.
- At Rox, agents constantly retrieve context, make decisions, trigger actions, and update state.
- The Foundations team ensures these agent loops are reliable, observable, scalable, and easy for product teams to build on.
- Rox is building a new category of software where AI agents continuously reason, decide, and act in production environments, requiring unique infrastructure and platform systems.
