About Vibecode
We're democratizing software creation. Our platform lets anyone describe an idea and instantly turn it into a working application—no coding required.
We're solving one of computing's fundamental challenges: bridging the gap between human intent and software execution. This requires breakthrough advances in AI reasoning, code generation, and user experience.
We've raised a large seed round from some of the best investors in the world including Alexis Ohanian (776), Arielle Zuckerberg and Cyan Banister (Long Journey), Ali Partovi and Suzanne Xie (Neo), and a whole host of amazing angels who are leaders at Google, Expo, OpenAI, etc.
About the Role
Want to be at the forefront of designing infrastructure for a mass-market consumer product? This role is for you.
We're looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to build the systems that power millions of AI-generated applications. You'll architect the platform that securely runs thousands of user-created apps simultaneously while maintaining blazing-fast performance and bulletproof reliability.
What you'll do:
Design and implement secure sandbox environments for running untrusted AI-generated code at massive scale
Build orchestration systems for stateless containers that can spin up 10,000+ apps concurrently
Architect backend API services that handle real-time code generation, compilation, and deployment
Create monitoring and observability systems for complex, multi-tenant application infrastructure
Design auto-scaling systems that handle unpredictable traffic patterns from viral consumer apps
Build security-first infrastructure that isolates user applications while maintaining performance
This isn't typical infrastructure work. You'll be solving novel problems around code execution at scale, building systems that don't exist yet, and creating infrastructure patterns for the AI-native era.
About You
4+ years of infrastructure/platform engineering experience with high-scale consumer products
Deep expertise in containerization, orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP)
Strong background in security, sandboxing, and multi-tenant architecture
Experience with high-throughput API design and real-time systems
Proficiency in Go, Rust, or similar systems programming languages
Track record of building infrastructure that scales from thousands to millions of users
Bonus points if you have:
Experience with code execution platforms, serverless computing, or developer tools
Background in security sandboxing or container isolation technologies
Understanding of AI/ML infrastructure and model serving at scale
