Software Engineer - Infrastructure

Austin, TX, USA Hybrid Full Time
Compensation: $100,000 to $150,000 Annually

The Role

We’re hiring a Software Engineer - Infrastructure to help build and scale the APIs, services, and infrastructure that power the Targon ecosystem. You’ll work on performance-critical systems at the heart of a permissionless compute network — designing services that schedule and route workloads across thousands of GPUs, optimizing for latency and throughput, and building new capabilities from scratch. This is a deeply technical role for an engineer who cares about systems that are fast, reliable, and secure at scale.

You’ll be focused on:

  • Developing and maintaining the API layers and backend services that power Targon, Sybil, and the broader ecosystem.
  • Building and scaling the systems that orchestrate confidential workloads across a distributed network of GPUs, including TVM and TargonOS attestation and scheduling paths.
  • Benchmarking existing and new services to identify bottlenecks and ship measurable performance and reliability improvements.
  • Designing and operating resilient, observable infrastructure that keeps enterprise-grade latency and throughput guarantees.
  • Creating new services and applications from scratch to expand the Targon platform.

Ideal Experiences

  • Proficiency with Golang for backend development.
  • Experience working with Kubernetes in production.
  • Familiarity with Python for scripting and tooling.
  • Strong background with Unix/Linux systems.
  • Experience with distributed systems, networking, or high-throughput service design.
  • Exposure to confidential computing, TEEs, or secure infrastructure.
  • A bias toward ownership, comfortable taking an ambiguous problem and driving it to a shipped, well-tested solution.

Bonus Skills

  • Experience optimizing database performance and designing scalable architectures.
  • Experience with AI/ML inference, training, GPUs, or model deployment.
  • Experience working on permissionless systems or building market-related products.
  • Familiarity with tools like GitHub, Discord, Notion, and Linear for modern team collaboration.

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive Compensation Structure
  • 401K Matching
  • Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Fully covered Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Access to 24/7 Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects in a fast-paced startup environment
