Senior Software Engineer | Kimchi (Agent Platform Team)

Why Kimchi?

Kimchi is the AI platform inside CAST AI. We started by helping companies run LLMs on their own Kubernetes clusters and now we're providing a managed variant of those same capabilities.

Our Infrastructure today

Multi-model inference (MiniMax, Kimi, GLM-5, Nemotron, DeepSeek) with intelligent routing, an OpenAI-compatible API and deployment ranging from our GPUs to your own VPC. The inference layer is the foundation and the API is what sits in front of it as the primary channel for broadly and reliably distributing our AI services and powers our own Kimchi harness.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will have the opportunity to work on different key features of our product. All of these are high-agency roles across multiple parts of the tech stack that minimize process friction that would otherwise prevent you from shipping.

In every team you will own features end-to-end: design, implementation, testing, production rollout. Most projects ship in 1-4 weeks. You'll work directly with product and other engineering teams on problems that don't have textbook solutions.

We are currently hiring Senior Software Engineers for the following teams Agent Platform Team:

The Agent Platform squad builds the infrastructure that lets teams run fleets of AI agents securely, whether in the cloud or self-hosted, so work can move confidently from a developer's laptop to production environments. The platform enforces least-privilege access to resources, requires human approval before agents can touch anything critical, and logs every action agents take for full auditability. The goal is to give engineering and operations teams the confidence to scale up agent usage without sacrificing security, control, or visibility into what their agents are actually doing.

Responsibilities:

Design and build distributed systems that run agent fleets at scale across cloud and self-hosted environments, with security at its core

Make every agent action observable, auditable, and governable

Develop a remote-first experience of working with agents

Requirements

Production experience with Go or Typescript is strongly preferred; candidates without either should demonstrate strong systems programming skills in a comparable language.

Strong debugging, optimization, and performance-tuning skills – including query profiling, index design, and database performance tuning beyond ORM usage.
