Front-row seat to the biggest infra shift in decades
Durable runtimes like Restate are becoming the next foundational infrastructure component - and increasingly a critical piece for AI applications. As systems become more agentic, long-running, integration-heavy, and failure-prone, durable execution turns reliability from a bespoke engineering tax into a default property. In this role, you’re not watching that shift from the sidelines - you help build the platform that enables it.
State-of-the-art tech, built from first principles
Restate re-imagines durable execution as a lightweight self-contained stack - no database required - and ships as a single Rust binary with an optimized custom storage layer, low latency orchestration, and an analytics engine for observability.
Enterprise Traction
Restate is already used by Fortune 500 companies, including Tier 1 banks running critical financial workflows, and also by cutting-edge AI and infra startups pushing the boundary of what “production-grade agents” mean. You’ll work on problems where reliability, correctness, and operational simplicity are existential.
Work with world-class engineers
You’ll partner directly with engineers who’ve built and operated foundational systems at scale - creators of Apache Flink, and leaders from Meta’s messaging infrastructure. You’ll have the chance to work with incredibly talented individuals who care deeply about their craft.
Skills Required
- Proven experience building backend infrastructure, durable runtimes, or long-running systems
- Proficiency in Rust
- Experience with observability, orchestration, or custom storage layers for production systems
- Ability to work remotely from Europe or the United States
- Authorized to work without visa sponsorship
- Interest or experience with AI agents, workflows, or reliability-focused engineering
What We Do
Restate provides a lightweight runtime that enables developers to build innately resilient distributed applications. By turning AI agents, workflows, and backend services into durable processes, Restate removes the complexity of managing failure mechanics, allowing developers to focus on their business logic rather than the underlying infrastructure's resilience.
