Chaos Labs is building a new AI platform for the enterprise, focused on how organizations operate and create value in an AI-native world. We’re bringing years of experience building applied AI and mission-critical infrastructure to a new category of enterprise software. Previously, Chaos Labs built the leading risk management platform for on-chain finance, processing more than $5 trillion in financial volume and managing tens of billions of dollars in assets.
We’ve raised $65 million from Haun Ventures, Lightspeed, Galaxy, General Catalyst, Bessemer, F-Prime, PayPal, and others. We’re currently operating in stealth and building with a small team around a technically ambitious problem we believe will become increasingly important as AI reshapes how companies work.
How We Work
Chaos is built around high-agency, high-talent individual contributors. We keep teams small, give people meaningful ownership, and expect them to operate with autonomy, strong judgment, and a high bar for their craft. We hire people who can take an ambiguous, important problem and drive it forward — not just execute against a predefined roadmap. Titles matter less than impact, and the people closest to a problem are trusted to make decisions and own outcomes.
We move fast, stay close to the work, and care deeply about building things exceptionally well. Ownership over instruction. Impact over hierarchy.
The Role
We’re hiring a Senior Full-Stack AI Software Engineer to own the design, development, and operation of full-stack applications and infrastructure that power our enterprise AI platform.
This is a high-impact role with significant ownership from day one. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, and other cross-functional partners to build reliable, scalable, and high-performance products across the frontend and backend, taking problems from ambiguity through execution and measurable impact.
You’ll work across the stack — from responsive React applications and backend APIs to cloud infrastructure, databases, integrations, and deployment pipelines — with opportunities to build AI-powered product capabilities using modern LLM technologies.
What You’ll Do
- Own the design and development of full-stack product experiences end to end, building responsive frontend applications exclusively with React and TypeScript and scalable backend services and APIs using Python and Rust.
- Drive the development of reliable, scalable, secure, and high-performance applications, continuously improving application performance, reliability, security, and cost.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, and cross-functional teams to translate ambiguous product and technical problems into production-ready solutions.
- Build and improve the underlying cloud infrastructure, databases, integrations, automated tests, and CI/CD pipelines, integrating applications with AWS infrastructure.
- Develop AI-powered product capabilities, where relevant, using LLMs, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, and AI agents.
- Identify technical and product opportunities, form strong points of view, and turn them into action.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Strong proficiency in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Expertise with RAG, embeddings, vector databases, AI agents, and prompt evaluation techniques.
- Production experience building applications with React.
- Experience building backend APIs and distributed systems.
- Expertise with AWS.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes.
- Experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases.
- Strong communication, product thinking, and problem-solving skills.
- Comfort taking ownership of ambiguous technical problems and driving them from design through production.
- Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Strong Python and JavaScript/TypeScript skills.
- Production experience with React.
- Backend API and distributed-systems experience.
- Familiarity with AWS, Azure or GCP.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes
- Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases.
- Experience with Rust, Go, or another statically typed language is a plus.
- Familiarity with RAG, embeddings, vector databases, AI agents, and prompt evaluation.
- Strong communication, product thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Rust, or another statically typed language.
- Familiarity with RAG, embeddings, vector databases, AI agents, and prompt evaluation.
- Familiarity with profiling tools and performance optimization techniques.
- Based in NYC with the ability to work from our Brooklyn office, or remote with the ability to travel up to 30% of the year to collaborate with the team in person.
Benefits
- Paid Time Off – 21 vacation days + 7 sick days + 8 observed U.S. company holidays
- Health Coverage – 100% employer-paid options (medical, dental & vision) for you and your dependents
- FSA / HSA Options – depending on selected health insurance plan
- Wellness Programs – OneMedical, Teladoc, Talkspace, and EAP
- 401(k) - with a 100% company match on the first 6% contributed
- Career Growth – opportunities in a rapidly expanding, global technology company with personalized professional development
- Pre-tax Commuter Benefits
- Compensation & Equity – competitive package aligned with growth and merit
- Salary and Seniority level commensurate with experience (range: $196K- 212K)

What We Do
Decentralized blockchain applications introduce a myriad of technical challenges, security vulnerabilities and attack vectors. With DeFi (decentralized finance) protocols now securing hundreds of billions in value in production, the stakes have never been higher. With new technological primitives and bustling innovation, new security paradigms are required. dApps leverage open source modules and often consume other protocols in order to create new applications. This introduces a dependency heavy software architecture which makes it an ideal candidate for runtime verification. Chaos Labs is a cloud platform which enables teams to create high-fidelity agent and scenario-based simulations on mainnet forks, offering a real-world testing environment. By providing a rich library of customizable agents and scenarios, teams can rapidly speed up development and reduce their go-to-market time, helping them stay competitive without compromising on the security of their protocol. Additionally, Chaos Labs focuses on developer tooling and cloud infrastructure, allowing teams to move fast on stable infrastructure. The platform is currently live for protocols on the Ethereum network and later expanding to additional blockchains such as Terra, NEAR and Polygon.
