Systems Engineer
Dedalus Labs, Inc., San Francisco
About the job
About the role
Dedalus Labs builds persistent computers for AI agents. Our flagship product, Dedalus Machines, gives agents an isolated environment where they can run software, keep files and state, and work over time.
You'll build the core technology our customers depend on. We're looking for a systems engineer who wants to understand where time and memory go, why a system fails, and what a better design would make possible. You enjoy following a problem through application code, the operating system, storage, and the network until you can explain it and improve it.
This role covers two areas: the control plane, which creates, schedules, and manages Machines, and our Rust virtual machine monitor (VMM), the software that runs each virtual machine. We are looking for depth in either area, with room for someone who spans both.
You'll work directly with our CTO and engineers, with substantial freedom to investigate and choose an approach. We want someone who takes pride in the craft, moves with urgency, and cares about the details other engineers will have to live with. You'll carry work from the first experiment through implementation, verification, rollout, and operation.
