About the Role

Infrastructure Engineers at Cognition build the systems that power our AI products, including Devin, the first AI software engineer, and Windsurf, an AI-native IDE. You will own and build the compute, orchestration, networking, and platform systems essential for these products, focusing on reliability, scale, and the craft of building excellent systems.

Responsibilities

  • Own agent execution infrastructure: Design and operate sandboxed compute environments for task execution, including VM orchestration, container management, resource scheduling, and isolation at scale.
  • Build and maintain the developer platform: Create internal infrastructure including CI/CD pipelines, deployment systems, developer tooling, and abstractions for fast shipping.
  • Drive reliability and observability: Define SLOs, build monitoring and alerting systems, lead incident response, and conduct postmortems.
  • Scale with the product: Anticipate capacity and architecture needs to stay ahead of product growth.
  • Partner across engineering: Collaborate with product engineers and researchers to design infrastructure that meets their needs without unnecessary complexity.

Requirements

  • Deep systems engineering experience: Designing and operating large-scale distributed infrastructure with a focus on reliability, failure modes, and operational excellence.
  • Cloud and container expertise: Hands-on proficiency with Kubernetes, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals: Proficiency in Python and experience owning complex systems codebases.
  • Observability instincts: Experience instrumenting systems, building dashboards, and designing effective alerts.
  • Security and isolation mindset: Experience with sandboxing, network isolation, and secure multi-tenant compute.
  • Relevant industry experience: Prior experience at a frontier AI lab, applied AI company, or developer tools company.
