Joining the OpenShell team offers a unique opportunity to work on a highly advanced platform that enables this future. This core system provides secure, sandboxed runtimes essential for autonomous AI agents. The OpenShell platform is sophisticated, incorporating a control-plane gateway, a privacy-conscious inference router, declarative policy enforcement, and specialized container and VM-based sandbox execution environments. This is a chance to make a lasting impact on the world alongside some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people on the planet.\nWhat you’ll be doing:\nWork across the full stack of a distributed systems platform, from crafting gRPC contracts to building secure sandbox runtimes.\nImplement and harden network security features, including policy enforcement, L4/L7 proxies, and secure inter-service communication using mTLS.\nDevelop core platform components such as inference routing, ensuring model provider adapters, credential management, and protocol translation integrate seamlessly with the sandbox and gateway.\nBuild reliable configuration and control plane systems that handle state divergence, implement reconciliation loops, and support safe merging and hot-reloading policies.\nOwn the operability experience by creating effective CLI tools, managing release automation, and instrumenting all systems for observability with structured logging and distributed tracing.\n\nWhat we need to see:\nMinimum of a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.\n8+ years of meaningful experience.\nProficiency in systems programming, including building and debugging long-running services, async runtimes, and handling OS-level integration.\nDeep knowledge of distributed systems/control planes, including reasoning about state divergence, building reconciliation loops, and designing crash recovery paths.\nExperience with Container/Sandbox Internals, managing isolated workloads, process lifecycle, capabilities, and network namespaces.\nFamiliarity with gRPC and Protobuf, including crafting machine-to-machine APIs with clean streaming semantics and version safety.\nExperience operating and extending workloads on Kubernetes, including working with compute drivers, image management, and detailed debugging.\nAbility to secure inter-service communication using mTLS, gateway registration flows, and non-browser identity verification.\nProficiency in instrumenting systems with structured logging, health checks, and distributed tracing for production observability.\n\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nFamiliarity with virtualization technologies and alternative runtimes, such as microVMs (e.g., libkrun).\nExperience improving operator experience through CLI/TUI development, status reporting, and clear error messages.\nComfort working at cross-language boundaries, specifically between Rust, Python, protobuf codegen, and shell scripting.\nNVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people on the planet working for us. If you're creative, passionate and self-motivated, we want to hear from you!
