About the role
- A critical part of this role is enabling and supporting self-hosted deployments for enterprise customers who require on-premises or private cloud installations.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and operate large-scale distributed systems that power Serval's AI agents, workflow orchestration, and data pipelines.
- Write and maintain Terraform modules to provision and manage cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, or Azure environments.
- Build internal tools and platforms that enable product engineers to deploy, test, and operate services efficiently.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to design resilient, scalable architectures that support both cloud-hosted and self-hosted deployment models.
- Profile and optimize system performance, including compute, storage, networking, and database layers.
- Implement security best practices and ensure infrastructure meets enterprise compliance requirements for both managed and self-hosted deployments.
- 3+ years building and operating large-scale distributed systems in production environments.
- Growth: Build a fundamentally new AI product offering with the support of our experienced team and investors.
Requirements
- Deep knowledge of at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including compute, networking, storage, and managed services.
- Proficiency in Python, Go, or similar languages for building automation, tooling, and infrastructure services.
- Strong understanding of networking, databases, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and orchestration systems.
- Experience with monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident management tools (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, PagerDuty).
Nice to have
- Experience with Kubernetes in production, including cluster management and workload orchestration.
- Experience with workflow orchestration systems such as Temporal, including long-running workflows, retries, and failure handling.

- Previous work at a high-growth startup or experience scaling infrastructure rapidly.
Company info
- Serval http://serval.com is an AI-native automation platform transforming how enterprises operate. We build intelligent agents that understand real-world workflows and execute them end-to-end - replacing manual processes and rigid legacy systems with adaptive, learning software. Founded in early 2024, Serval is already trusted by companies like Fox, Notion, Perplexity, Vercel, and Brex to automate high-volume, high-friction operational work across their organizations.
- At the core of Serval is an agentic AI platform that turns natural language into production-grade workflows. Our agents don't just respond to requests - they reason, take action across systems, and continuously improve with usage. What began with operational use cases has quickly evolved into a horizontal AI automation layer used across IT, HR, Finance, Security, Legal, and Engineering.
- Our mission is to eliminate repetitive, manual work across the enterprise and give teams leverage through intelligent automation. Long term, we're building the universal AI operations layer - a system of agents that sits across business functions and runs the workflows that keep modern companies moving.
- We're backed by leading investors including Sequoia Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Meritech, First Round, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, and others.
