Build the OS for agentic applications.
We're a small team in San Francisco and globally distributed — shipping a Rust-native compute engine that checkpoints agent state to S3 and runs anywhere there's CPU or GPU. Come make infrastructure boring, so everyone else can build magic on top.
Unlock your data — wherever it lives.
Our core mission is to give teams the best tools to parse, extract, and manipulate data, then build agentic automation on top. Less plumbing, more putting knowledge into action.
We're hiring engineers who want to build the operating system for agentic applications and AI data workflows — the boring, reliable substrate magic depends on.
A compute engine from the ground up, in Rust.
We checkpoint application state to S3, schedule across CPUs and GPUs on any cloud, and isolate tool/code execution in Firecracker microVMs that cold-start in under a second.
Developers ship agentic applications and data workflows that run reliably at scale — without managing infrastructure, retry logic, or sandbox fleets.
The fine print, front and center.
