Job description

A fast-growing developer infrastructure company is building a new AI Governance team focused on helping enterprises adopt coding agents securely and responsibly.

The team owns two core products. The first is a centralized gateway between coding agents and leading model providers, giving enterprise customers visibility into usage, cost, authentication, and audit activity. The second establishes secure network boundaries around agents, controlling which services, domains, and methods they can access from within development environments.

This is a hands-on Staff level role spanning Go backend services, distributed systems, security, developer tooling, provider integrations, and user-facing product features. You will work closely with product, design, enterprise customers, and external technology partners while contributing to a growing open-source ecosystem.
