As the first engineering hire, you will architect Mubit’s core infrastructure from scratch. You’ll build high-performance systems for sub-80ms memory retrieval and shared state management, directly solving the "forgetful agent" problem. This role involves deep distributed systems work, SDK development, and close collaboration with the founding team to scale production AI agent fleets.
Backend/Infrastructure Engineer at Mubit — AI memory infrastructure startup
Mubit is hiring its first Backend/Infrastructure Engineer in London to build the 'operational memory' for AI agents. Currently, agents are like goldfish—they forget context, causing engineers to spend hours on manual fixes. You'll architect high-performance systems from scratch to give agents sub-80ms recall and shared state. If you have 4-8 years of experience in distributed systems and want to own the plumbing for the next generation of AI, join this well-funded founding team in Canary Wharf.
Overview
Why this role stands out
Company
Mubit - Well-funded AI infrastructure startup building the operational memory layer for production agents.
Responsibilities
What you will do
- Design and implement the core storage and retrieval architecture to handle agent execution history at massive scale.
- Build and maintain the SDK that developers use to integrate Mubit with frameworks like LangGraph, CrewAI, and AutoGen.
- Profile and optimize system bottlenecks to ensure consistent performance under heavy load while scaling infrastructure 100x.
Candidate profile
Who this is a fit for
- Proven experience building and running high-scale, latency-sensitive production systems using performance-oriented languages like Rust, Go, or C++.
- Deep understanding of distributed systems, storage engine trade-offs, and serving data within a hot execution loop.
- A self-directed builder who thrives in ambiguity and has extensive experience with LLM orchestration frameworks and agentic memory patterns.
What makes it remarkable
Why this role is remarkable
- Founding engineer impact: As hire number one, you co-own the architecture and technical direction of a critical infrastructure layer for the AI era.
- High-performance engineering: Tackle complex distributed systems challenges where sub-80ms latency is the baseline requirement for production agents.
- On-site collaboration: Build alongside a well-funded founding team in a high-energy Canary Wharf office, fostering rapid iteration and deep technical ownership.
