Software Engineer, AI Platform

About the Role

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to build the AI platform behind fab2.

This is a greenfield role with broad ownership across our AI stack. You’ll build the infrastructure and agent systems that turn engineering knowledge and workflows into useful tools for teams across fab2.

Responsibilities

• Build the infrastructure for using AI models across cloud providers and our own on-prem compute.
• Develop agents, shared skills, MCP servers, and sandboxed execution environments.
• Create evals and benchmarks to measure where agents work, where they fail, and how to improve them.
• Turn engineering knowledge and repeatable workflows into shared AI tools teams can build on.
• Develop AI systems for automated experimentation, defect detection, engineering analysis, and fab operations.
• Explore systems that can analyze results, propose what to do next, and eventually interact with physical equipment.
• Help shape how AI gets used across Fab2 and inside the fab.

Required Experience

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience shipping production systems.
• Comfortable working across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and data.
• Effective with AI coding tools while still able to read, write, debug, and reason about code independently.
• Strong product instincts and an ability to turn ambiguous problems into working systems.
• Strong technical communication and a high degree of ownership.

Nice-to-have

• Founding engineer, CTO, or early-stage startup background.
• Experience building AI agents, developer tools, evals, or ML infrastructure.
• Hands-on work with GPU or on-prem compute infrastructure.
• Exposure to robotics, hardware, scientific computing, or automated experimentation.
• Experience building software for regulated environments.

• Working at fab2
• We’re an early-stage hardware startup with solid funding, world-class advisors, and labs/offices in Austin, TX, Lockhart, TX, and San Francisco, CA.
