About the role
About Kilvin
Kilvin is an AI-native software agency that builds custom internal tools for non-technical teams. We deliver everything through our platform: a shared workspace for our clients to access and interact with their software. We believe strongly in the principle of personal software: technology purpose-built for the individual, and that AI-enabled software generation provides the greatest opportunity to bring personal software to the masses.
Founded by Chris and Jorrie - MIT CS grads and former Googlers.
The role
We are able to deliver faster than traditional agencies in thanks to our proprietary build pipeline and hosted workspace platform that's been battle-tested in client deployments across healthcare, finance, and operations applications. We're now investing in the next iteration of that platform: transforming it into a self-serve tool for a more technical audience.
As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll own core pieces of that system. You'll work directly with our CTO and Head of Engineering on the infrastructure that turns "we need a tool for X" into a running, integrated, access-controlled application. This is a high-ownership role: small team, real users from day one, and decisions that shape the product for years.
What you'll work on
- The app runtime and workspace - how custom apps are deployed, isolated, and served to clients inside a single secure environment.
- The build & deploy pipeline - the AI-assisted system that takes a user request from requirements to specs to software takes requirements to working software.
- Multi-tenancy and access control - tenant isolation, fine-grained permissions (who can open which app and see which data), and the auth model underneath it.
