Hiring: Founding Privacy & Infrastructure Engineer | AI Agent Systems

Location: San Francisco preferred

Company: Early-Stage Consumer AI & Wearable Startup

We are partnering with an exciting early-stage AI startup building a next-generation personal intelligence platform that combines AI-powered hardware, contextual intelligence, and autonomous agents.

As the company prepares for its US launch, we're looking for a Founding Privacy & Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of its US production infrastructure, data privacy architecture, and secure AI agent systems.

This is not a traditional IT support role. They're looking for a hands-on engineer who can architect secure infrastructure from the ground up while enabling globally distributed engineering teams to collaborate through controlled, AI-powered workflows.

Key Responsibilities

Design and secure US-based cloud infrastructure and production environments.
Build privacy-first architecture covering data isolation, encryption, IAM, and access controls.
Develop secure AI agent workflows using LLM tool calling, MCP, and automated operational interfaces.
Enable international engineering teams to perform authorized production tasks without exposing sensitive user data.
Implement CI/CD, Kubernetes, monitoring, audit logging, and infrastructure automation.
Own production security, reliability, and incident response.

Ideal Background

Strong experience in Cloud Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, SRE, Security Engineering, or Privacy Engineering.
Hands-on expertise with AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Solid knowledge of Kubernetes, IAM, encryption, and infrastructure security.
Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or similar languages.
Experience with AI Agents, MCP, LLM Tool Calling, or privacy-preserving infrastructure is a significant advantage.
Must have US work authorization.

Why This Opportunity?

You'll join at a foundational stage, with the autonomy to shape the company's infrastructure, privacy architecture, and AI agent capabilities from day one.

This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of Consumer AI, Privacy Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure, and AI Agents, helping build the technical foundations of a new category of personal intelligence products.
