We are looking for a hands-on Platform Engineer to build the reusable, multi-tenant infrastructure that makes production AI agents secure, reliable and economical to operate. You will own the shared platform beneath business-specific agents while still shipping practical capabilities end-to-end. This is not a pure infrastructure, prompt-engineering or research role. You will work across agent runtimes, backend services, data, integrations, deployment and developer tooling. What you will own * Own the multi-tenant agent runtime, orchestration, state and governed memory. * Build secure tool execution, authentication, authorization and customer isolation. * Design approvals, audit trails, privacy controls and secrets management. * Create reusable connectors for APIs, databases and business systems. * Build evaluation infrastructure, testing environments and safe release gates. * Implement observability for quality, failures, latency, reliability and cost. * Establish deployment, versioning, backup, rollback and incident-response mechanisms. * Build platform APIs, operator interfaces and developer tooling. * Own cloud architecture, infrastructure automation, capacity, availability and disaster recovery. * Turn repeated workflow patterns into legible, reusable platform capabilities. What we are looking for * Production experience building and operating multi-tenant backend or platform systems. * Strong backend and distributed-systems engineering judgment. * Production proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript. * Strong PostgreSQL and cloud-hosted data-infrastructure experience. * Experience with APIs, queues, asynchronous jobs and event-driven systems. * Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, secrets management and data isolation. * Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure automation, monitoring and incident response. * Experience operating production workloads on AWS, GCP or Azure. * Practical knowledge of containers, networking, backups, rollback and disaster recovery. * Practical LLM experience including tool use, structured outputs, context management and evaluation. * Ability to debug across application, infrastructure and external-service layers. * Clear written communication and sound architectural judgment. Strong signals * You have shipped and operated a production agentic or automation platform, not only a demo. * You have built multi-tenant systems with explicit isolation and authorization controls. * You have designed evaluation, observability, approval or audit systems for AI workflows. * You have owned reliability and cloud infrastructure while remaining product-oriented. * You use AI development tools extensively while validating outputs and retaining technical ownership. * You can explain a system you built end-to-end, what failed and how you prevented recurrence. Nice to have * Experience with OpenAI Agents SDK, LangGraph, OpenClaw or comparable systems. * Experience with Supabase or PostgreSQL at production scale. * Experience with Lark/Feishu, Shopify, CRM, accounting or enterprise SaaS integrations. * Familiarity with knowledge graphs, ontology design or governed memory. * Early-stage startup or founding-engineer experience. Current stack OpenClaw, Python, TypeScript, Supabase/PostgreSQL, Lark/Feishu APIs and CLI, Shopify and other business-system APIs, Git-based development, automated testing, deployment controls, monitoring and rollback. What this role is not * Prompt writing without software ownership. * Pure machine-learning research or model training. * Pure DevOps, Kubernetes or cloud administration. * Frontend-only or backend-only feature delivery. * Building abstractions for hypothetical scale before real workflows require them. Success in the first 30 days * Complete an architecture, security and reliability review and identify the major risks and delivery bottlenecks. * Operate the current agent runtime and deployment environment independently. * Ship at least one meaningful production platform improvement. * Deliver one reusable platform capability with tests, telemetry and rollback. * Establish minimum quality, security and observability gates. * Document the reusable pattern for onboarding the next customer or workflow. * Produce a prioritized 60-day platform roadmap based on evidence from the first month. These outcomes are subject to timely access and platform readiness. How we work * We move quickly and build for permanence. * We prefer small, reversible decisions over speculative architecture. * Documentation, testing, evaluation and observability are part of the product. * AI accelerates the work; it does not remove engineering accountability. * We measure success through customer outcomes, revenue impact, cost reduction and lower operational attention. ## Related Videos - [Building a Multi-Agent Orchestration Engine That Actually Follows the Rules](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100159-building-a-multi-agent-orchestration-engine-that-actually-follows-the-rules) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Markdown, Liquid and Checkouts](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1814-wearedevelopers-live-markdown-liquid-and-checkouts) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Teini - an extremely small webshop leveraging awesome and free tech](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/286-teini-an-extremely-small-webshop-leveraging-awesome-and-free-tech) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Never delegate the understanding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/749-never-delegate-the-understanding) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care)
