Benchify is looking for a Founding Engineer to design and optimize containerized environments that can boot, run, and heal code in milliseconds, and build infra that validates, repairs, and runs AI-generated code at scale.
Requirements
- Have strong experience with containers, runtimes, and DevOps tooling (Docker, K8s, Fly.io, OCI images, AWS, etc.).
- Are fluent in TypeScript, Node.js, or Python.
- Especially if you know a decent amount about the underpinnings of these languages – e.g., if you can explain why uv is faster than pip, if you have strong opinions on Parcel versus Vite, or if you feel that Python “doesn’t really have a type system”.
- Care about performance and correctness, not just “works on my laptop.”
- Are curious about compilers, testing, or program analysis (bonus points).
Responsibilities
- Design and optimize containerized environments that can boot, run, and heal code in milliseconds.
- Build infra that validates, repairs, and runs AI-generated code at scale.
- Work across the stack when needed — but especially on the dev/ops side of things.
- Talk to customers and ship features that solve real-world problems.
- Help shape our engineering culture (lots of esoteric memes).
Other
- We are looking for grit, creativity, and the ability to pick up new skills quickly.
- Like working in fast-moving, small-team environments with big ownership.
- In person in San Francisco or New York City
- Competitive salary + meaningful equity
- Start date: ASAP
