Platform Engineer @ umanitek

Opis delovnega mesta

We’re building something that doesn’t exist yet: an AI immune system for humans.The Umanitek Guardian Agent protects people from deepfakes and digital impersonation by combining intelligence with systems built for verification and scale. If you’re excited by the idea of building reliable platforms and backend systems for agents that reason, not just predict, you’ll feel right at home.

As a Platform Engineer, you’ll build and operate the platform powering the Guardian Agent ecosystem. You’ll work across backend engineering and infrastructure, building production-ready services while ensuring they can be deployed, monitored, and scaled reliably. Your primary focus will be developing backend services, REST APIs, MCP tooling, and agent runtimes using Node.js and TypeScript. You’ll also own key parts of the platform layer: CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments, deployments, observability, and infrastructure automation. This is a hands-on role where ownership and systems thinking matter. You’ll help ensure Guardian services are secure, scalable, observable, and easy for the team to evolve.

Responsibilities
-Build and maintain backend services, REST APIs, MCP servers, and agent tooling using Node.js and TypeScript
-Design and operate cloud infrastructure on AWS
-Own CI/CD pipelines, deployments, release workflows, and production environments
-Build and maintain containerized services using Docker and infrastructure automation tools
-Ensure reliability through monitoring, logging, alerting, performance optimization, and security best practices
-Troubleshoot production issues across application and infrastructure layers
-Collaborate on architecture decisions around AI agents, decentralized systems, and scalable production infrastructure

Od kandidatov zahtevamo

Technical Experience
-4+ years of experience in Backend Engineering, Platform Engineering, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering
-Strong Nest.js, TypeScript and Node.js experience building production backend services
-Experience with REST APIs, Express, Nest.js, and microservice architectures
-Experience deploying and operating production systems in cloud environments (AWS, DigitalOcean, or GCP)
-Strong experience with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure automation concepts
-Experience with monitoring, logging, and production troubleshooting
-Solid understanding of databases, networking, Linux systems, and security fundamentals

Nice to Have
-Familiarity with Turborepo and monorepo workflows
-Experience with MCP tooling, AI/LLM applications, or agent-based systems
-Experience with Docker or advanced container orchestration
-Experience with Terraform or infrastructure-as-code workflows
-Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, or background workers
-Familiarity with decentralized systems or knowledge graph technologies

O podjetju

Umanitek is a Swiss AI and data infrastructure company building systems to reduce AI-driven harm at scale. We operate at the intersection of large language models, social platforms, and digital identity, focusing on risks that cannot be solved by any single platform alone, hallucinations, impersonation, coordinated abuse, and content misuse, while preserving privacy and jurisdictional boundaries.

Our core product, the Guardian Agent, continuously monitors how individuals, brands, and organizations appear across LLMs and social platforms. It detects misrepresentation, fake accounts, deepfakes, and coordinated narrative attacks, computes live risk scores, and generates cryptographically verifiable evidence showing when content appeared, how it spread, and how it evolved. Guardian runs on decentralized infrastructure that allows platforms and institutions to signal and verify harmful content without sharing raw data, enabling fast takedowns, corrections, and enforcement without compromising privacy or competition.

Zakaj bi želel delati za vas

We are solving problems that are technically hard and structurally unsolved: hallucinations, impersonation, coordinated abuse, and misinformation embedded directly into AI systems, where privacy, jurisdiction, and scale actually matter. You work with people who have already built companies and shipped complex systems, in an environment with high standards, real ownership, and freedom to push ideas into production. You shape the product, the architecture, and the direction of the company from day one. Think American-scale ambition, built in Europe, with the goal of defining how AI safety is actually done.
