Engineering

Short version - You will make previews, sandboxes, deploys, logs, and telemetry feel instant, stable, and boring in the best possible way.

Why Mythos?

The builder experience depends on runtime reliability: every stalled preview or unclear deploy breaks trust.

This is high-leverage infrastructure work with a very visible product surface.

What you will shape

  • Own sandbox lifecycle, preview health, deployment handoffs, logs, and runtime observability.

  • Improve cold starts, caching, file sync, artifact storage, and recovery paths.

  • Build internal tools that let the team debug production incidents quickly.

  • Partner with frontend and agent engineers so system state is legible in the product.

What makes you strong here

  • You have operated production systems where speed, isolation, and reliability mattered.

  • You can design simple APIs around messy infrastructure constraints.

  • You like making hard systems feel uneventful for users and teammates.

  • You balance performance work with security and operational discipline.

How we hire

  • A short intro call focused on fit, motivation, and the work you want to do.

  • A practical craft conversation with the people closest to the role.

  • A work sample or paid trial when it is useful to see the collaboration style in motion.

  • A final founder conversation about ownership, pace, and how you want to shape Mythos.
