Founding Platform Engineer

Hyperspell is a company focused on creating the Memory & Context Layer for AI Agents. As a founding platform engineer, you will be responsible for building the infrastructure that supports the product, ensuring it is fast, reliable, and scalable while tackling various engineering challenges.

Responsibilities:

• Build the infrastructure that makes Hyperspell feel like magic — fast, reliable, and effortlessly scalable
• Own the foundation that our entire product is built on
• Design and evolve the systems that let us absorb 10x traffic increases without anyone noticing
• Build the concurrency control, deduplication, and fault tolerance that ensures every single one is processed correctly, exactly once
• Profile, benchmark, and ruthlessly optimize — shaving latency from search queries, eliminating bottlenecks, and making every API call feel instant
• Build the dashboards, traces, and alerts that let the team understand what's happening in production at a glance — and get paged before customers notice
• Treat uptime, performance, and developer experience as features, not afterthoughts
• Map out our biggest bottlenecks and help us migrate legacy services to scalable alternatives
• Spin up a continuous monitoring across environments and use agentic AI to resolve problems before they arise
• Build a scalable, distributed ETL pipeline for our continuous ingestion and memory extraction that works for our smallest startup customers and large enterprises alike
