Job summary

KIND ADVISORY PTY LTD in Sydney is seeking one of the first Systems Engineers to help build an infinite compute engine. You will own end-to-end architecture to production, with deep work on the OS/virtualisation layer or security and encryption, shaping the platform from day one.

Spin-up capabilities, isolation of tenants, and reliable, low-latency remote machines are core. You will operate with founder-level ownership, in-person in Sydney with initial remote work and visa sponsorship options.

Qualifications

• You have deep systems fundamentals, and real depth in at least one of Linux, virtualisation, networking, storage, distributed systems, runtime internals or security
• You reason about concurrency, latency and failure modes, and debug methodically
• You can't leave an edge case alone
• You've built things other engineers build on: infrastructure, libraries, runtimes or open source
• You use AI every day and build a lot of your own projects
• You want founder-level ownership and are comfortable with ambiguity
• Nice to have: Firecracker, KVM, microVMs or remote desktop tech

Responsibilities

• Spin-up: snapshots, warm pools and copy-on-write images, so a VM is ready before the user notices
• Contention: packing guests onto hosts without one user slowing another
• Streaming: a remote machine that feels local, from network to pixels
• State: sessions that survive crashes, restarts and moves between hosts
• Concurrency: scheduling, cancellation and agents running in parallel
• Isolation: tenant boundaries, and sandboxes for untrusted agent code
• Encryption: keys, data at rest and in transit, and what the platform itself can't see
• Instrumentation: telemetry that shows what broke before a user does
