Software Engineer, Infrastructure & Platform

About 10a Labs : 10a Labs is the safety and threat-intelligence layer trusted by frontier AI labs, AI unicorns, Fortune 10 companies, and leading global technology platforms. Our adversarial red teaming, model evaluations, and intelligence collection enable engineering, safety, and security teams to stay ahead of evolving threats and deploy AI systems safely. Software Engineer, Infrastructure & Platform About the Role We are seeking a Software Engineer, Infrastructure & Platform to build the systems and infrastructure that power advanced AI evaluations, including evaluations focused on autonomous model behavior, agentic systems, and loss-of-control risks. This is a hands-on engineering role at the intersection of backend systems, infrastructure, and AI. You will build secure and reproducible environments where frontier models can interact with tools, execute code, complete complex tasks, and operate across realistic multi-step workflows, including machine learning research and engineering. The ideal candidate has strong backend and infrastructure fundamentals, enjoys debugging complex distributed systems, and is excited to apply those skills to difficult problems in AI safety and evaluation. What You'll Do Design and build sandboxed evaluation environments where AI models can safely execute code, use tools, interact with services, and complete complex tasks. Build backend services and infrastructure supporting large-scale, repeatable AI and agentic evaluations. Develop agent scaffolding and evaluation harnesses, including tool-use loops, context management, retries, state management, token budgets, and multi-agent or subagent workflows. Build systems for provisioning and orchestrating isolated environments using technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, VMs, and cloud infrastructure. Design secure approaches to networking, permissions, secrets, credentials, and resource isolation for model-driven environments. Develop APIs, internal tools, and automation that allow r
