About Tessera Labs

Tessera Labs is redefining how enterprises adopt and operationalize Artificial Intelligence. Backed by Foundation Capital and led by a world-class founding team, we build multi-agent AI systems that automate complex business workflows across platforms like SAP, Salesforce, Workday, Snowflake, DataBricks, and more.

AI Platform Engineer

About Tessera Labs

Our mission is simple but ambitious: bring real AI automation to the enterprise - with speed, precision, and measurable impact. We move fast, operate with extreme ownership, and build at the frontier of applied AI.

About The Team

The AI platform team builds and operates the foundational AI agent infrastructure that lets Tessera run reliably, securely, and consistently across customer environments. This includes a portable cloud infrastructure that makes each environment production-ready: container orchestration (Kubernetes), networking, and automation that ensures our product behaves the same regardless of the underlying cloud provider.

The Role

As an AI Platform Engineer, you’ll design and own production-grade AI agent infrastructure that supports Tessera’s AI systems across multiple cloud providers. You’ll work on everything from Kubernetes and Terraform to observability, security, and reliability with real ownership over architectural decisions.

Design and build CI/CD pipelines, own the end-to-end automation of build, test, and deployment workflows for both infrastructure and application code
Build and maintain a reusable automation framework for day-to-day DevOps and developer workflows, covering environment provisioning, secret rotation, dependency updates, compliance checks, and release management
Automate operational runbooks and recurring processes, identify manual work across the engineering org and systematically eliminate it through scripts, pipeline stages, and self-service tooling
Champion an automation-first mindset across the team, if something is done twice, it should be automated; if it's automated, it should be observable and maintained like production code
