General Intuition is the frontier lab for acting in space and time. We build large action models and world models that can perceive, predict, and act across virtual and physical environments. General Intuition builds on the strength of Medal, the world's largest and fastest-growing platform for gaming clips, where millions of gamers capture, share, and discover new games every year. We recently raised $320M at a $2.3B valuation led by Khosla Ventures with participation from General Catalyst, Eric Schmidt, and Jeff Bezos, to discover the next generation of real-world intelligence.
The RoleMedal's infrastructure handles billions of clips, video ingestion pipelines, and social features at a massive scale most engineers never get to touch. The work centers on reliability, incident response, scaling, and making sure our infrastructure keeps up with our growth. You'll own the on-call rotation, drive postmortems, and work directly with engineering teams to meet their infra needs. The right person probably came through startups and scale-ups, has been in the room when things broke at 2am, has scaled databases under pressure, and knows the difference between a durable fix and a patch that buys you a week.
What We're Looking ForInfrastructure-as-code: Strong fluency in Terraform, with real experience owning infrastructure-as-code at scale
Elasticsearch depth: Hands-on experience running ES for user-facing features, not just as a log sink
GCP depth: You know it maybe a little too well: Kubernetes, VPC, IAM, Cloud Logging, and the managed services ecosystem
Database scaling: Deep, hands-on experience scaling and sharding relational databases (MySQL, Postgres) in production
Incident response instincts: You can work a P0 calmly, communicate clearly under pressure, and run a postmortem that prevents recurrence
CI/CD: You've worked with GitHub Actions in a production environment
Communication (crucial!): You flag issues clearly and rapidly during incidents and lead/write actionable postmortems
Experience at startups: You are comfortable in an environment of rapid growth where scaling up is a priority
Great judgment: You know the difference between a durable, sustainable fix and a patch that buys you a week
Electron, React, Redux, Styled Components & other modern web-based technologies
C# and C++ for native Windows recording & more
Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android
Java, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kubernetes for backend
Terraform, Salt, GitHub Actions, CircleCI for IaC and CI/CD
Skills Required
- Strong fluency in Terraform and owning infrastructure-as-code at scale
- Hands-on experience running Elasticsearch for user-facing features
- Deep GCP knowledge (Kubernetes, VPC, IAM, Cloud Logging, managed services)
- Deep, hands-on experience scaling and sharding relational databases (MySQL, Postgres)
- Strong incident response skills, able to handle P0s and run postmortems
- Experience with CI/CD in production, specifically GitHub Actions
- Excellent communication for incident escalation and postmortem leadership
- Experience at startups or scale-ups and comfort with rapid growth environments
- Sound judgment to choose durable fixes over temporary patches
What We Do
General Intuition is an AI research lab and public-benefit corporation building frontier and world models that help machines predict and act in dynamic environments. Using billions of action-labelled gameplay clips from its sister company Medal, the lab trains systems on physics, human decision-making, and consequences. Its mission extends to agentic models, robotics, and AI agents inhabiting real and imaginary worlds.
