Systems Engineer

Mission

Dedalus Labs builds persistent computers for AI agents. Our flagship product, Dedalus Machines, gives agents an isolated environment where they can run software, keep files and state, and work over time.

We are building a new compute primitive for long-running autonomous software. Our platform spans virtualization, distributed systems, storage, networking, scheduling, orchestration, and low-level runtime infrastructure. Every millisecond, syscall, and scheduling decision matters.

We are looking for systems engineers who want to understand computers all the way down and build infrastructure that feels simple, fast, and inevitable to the developers using it.

You might thrive here if you

• Think abstractions are most useful when you understand what is underneath them.

• Care about latency, throughput, memory usage, correctness, and tail performance.

• Enjoy debugging problems that take days to understand and minutes to fix.

• Treat reliability and performance as product features.

• Read kernel commits, infrastructure blogs, source code, or systems papers because you are genuinely curious.

• Have informed opinions about
