Java Developer

We are an early-stage, venture-backed AI infrastructure company building production-ready Kubernetes-based systems for GPU-intensive workloads. Our platform helps companies go from bare metal to fully operational AI clusters in days, and we're looking for a Java Developer to join our small, high-impact engineering team.

• Compensation details were not provided for this role.
• This is a full-time position at an early-stage, VC-backed company where equity participation is typical.
• Details will be discussed during the interview process.

• Understand customer requirements and translate them into robust, scalable Java-based solutions.
• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and infrastructure tooling that supports our distributed systems platform.
• Collaborate closely with product and infrastructure engineers to deliver features end-to-end.
• Contribute to the reliability and performance of systems handling AI inference pipelines, distributed training, storage orchestration, and GPU scheduling workloads.
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.

• Required: Solid hands-on experience with Java development and the JVM ecosystem.
• Familiarity with distributed systems concepts and cloud-native environments.
• Experience working with or around Kubernetes, containerization (Docker), or related infrastructure tooling.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, early-stage environment.
• Clear communication skills — we are a small team and direct collaboration matters.

Nice to have:

• Experience with GitOps workflows or tools (e.g., Flux, ArgoCD).
• Exposure to GPU scheduling, ML infrastructure, or high-performance computing environments.
