Help us reshape how enterprise companies build with LLMs. You'll collaborate with founders, other engineers, and partners to create the management layer for composable high-performance agents. Expect to tackle the hardest challenges surrounding scaling agents and inference while working at the cutting edge of opensource models and accelerated compute. We’re at an inflection point: demand is exploding, new customers are pushing us to scale faster than ever, and we’re looking for ambitious engineers to help us meet it head-on.
We move fast and solve hard problems at every level of the stack. You'll be working on high-performance distributed systems that power our agent infrastructure, ensuring agents run reliably and efficiently. Our backend is built with Go and Python, running on Kubernetes across AWS and GCP, with Terraform. You'll optimize base agent functionality like routing, orchestration, and processing, as well as backend latency, ensuring responses are quick and accurate. You’ll also work on agent evaluations and composability - ensuring new customers can get started same day as onboarding. On the frontend side, you’ll contribute to our Portal (React/TypeScript), where customers build agents, configure guardrails, fine-tune models, and test. If you love working across the stack, making systems faster and more reliable, and solving real production AI challenges, you'll thrive here.
Maitai helps companies build the world’s fastest, most reliable AI agents for their missing critical real-time applications. We also maintain a suite of features that allow users to improve their agents over time with extensive test suites, a robust fine-tuning pipeline, and thorough observability. We're growing fast, well-capitalized, and seizing a massive opportunity to redefine how enterprise companies build with AI. Top YC startups and public companies rely on us to manage their models and agents.
Maitai makes building reliable AI applications easy. We autocorrect faulty model output in real-time and automatically fine-tune models that learn from their mistakes. This means our customers get more reliable results immediately, and over time, they gain custom models built specifically for their application that only get better and faster. You wouldn’t hire an employee who doesn’t learn from their mistakes—so why use a model that doesn’t? Maitai is here to deliver the next generation of reliable AI inference.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
