About Resolve AI
  • At Resolve, we’re building Agentic AI that empowers software engineers by automating production engineering and SRE workflows. Our models deeply understand production systems — from code to databases — taking on repetitive, high-pressure tasks and handling critical incidents autonomously, so engineers can focus on building.

  • Our founders (Spiros Xanthos and Mayank Agarwal) are the core creators of OpenTelemetry and led Splunk Observability. They have had 2 successful exits to Splunk and VMware.

  • We raised a $35M Seed round from top-tier investors like Greylock, Unusual Ventures, Jeff Dean (Chief Scientist, Google DeepMind), Thomas Dohmke (CEO, GitHub), Matt Garman (CEO, AWS), Reid Hoffman (Founder, LinkedIn) and Fei Fei Li (Professor, Stanford).

Joining Resolve AI at this stage of our journey is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You’ve already decided that you want to work at an AI-native company that’s pushing the limits of how engineers work, and now you’re looking for the right one. 

What You'll Do
  • Design, build, and scale high-performance backend services and APIs that power complex, distributed systems in production environments.

  • Own the architecture and implementation of large subsystems, driving technical direction from early design through long-term evolution.

  • Engage directly with customers and design partners to deeply understand real-world problems and incorporate those insights into system design.

  • Build and manage critical platform assets, ensuring seamless integration, reliability, and performance across environments.

  • Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code with a strong emphasis on correctness and clarity.

  • Lead design reviews, code reviews, and test plan reviews, holding a high engineering bar and modeling best practices for the team.

  • Incorporate excellence in reliability, scalability, and performance into every layer of system design, particularly in distributed systems.

  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, learning, and technical excellence.

  • Drive improvements in coding standards, system design patterns, and development processes as the team and product scale.

  • Collaborate closely with product managers, frontend engineers, and other cross-functional partners to deliver high-quality, customer-impacting software.

  • Contribute to planning and execution of multi-team, high-impact projects with multiple stakeholders.

  • Help design and scale next-generation infrastructure that supports ambitious product and reliability goals.

What We're Looking For
  • 4+ years of relevant industry experience with a bachelor’s degree; or 2+ years and a master’s degree

  • Strong skills in building and deploying robust backend and storage services, emphasizing scalability and high performance in high-concurrency environments.

  • Experienced with cloud platforms (especially AWS) and Kubernetes, with a strong understanding of databases and messaging systems for secure, scalable cloud-native applications

  • Strong ability and desire to lead the creation and implementation of customer-facing features from start to finish, prioritizing users and owning customer success

  • Eager to deepen expertise in AI, with a keen interest and some experience in developing applications powered by Large Language Models (LLM)
