Software Engineer, Infrastructure & Performance

📋 Job Overview

Dedalus Labs builds persistent computers for AI agents. Our flagship product, Dedalus Machines, gives agents an isolated environment where they can run software, keep files and state, and work over time. We're looking for an infrastructure engineer who's bothered by a slow build, an unexplained latency spike, or a workflow that makes engineers do the same work twice. You want to understand where the time went. Then you want to fix it, measure the improvement, and make sure everyone who uses that system benefits from it.
