CopilotKit is the #1 open-source platform for building AI Copilots—intelligent agents designed to work alongside people inside real products. In under 18 months, we’ve built a fast-growing and highly active community (20k+ GitHub stars, tens of thousands of weekly installs, millions of copilot interactions, double-digit MoM growth), are already monetizing at the enterprise level, and are used by companies ranging from startups to Fortune 100s—powering both SaaS Copilots and “Cursor for anything” coworker Copilots.
We’re emerging as the default for a critical part of the AI stack: the user-interactive Agentic Application Layer. CopilotKit brings agents out of demos and terminals and into production—grade applications through deep integrations with the leading AI infrastructure companies and hyperscalers.
Backed by $6.5M (lead by SignalFire), our small, fast-moving team is building the infrastructure that will define how user-interactive AI is actually used in the real world. This is a unique opportunity to join as a founding engineer on one of the most exciting and high-leverage surfaces in AI—with significant scope for technical, product, and leadership growth.
As a Cloud Platform / DevOps Engineer at CopilotKit, you'll architect and build the enterprise-grade infrastructure that powers our commercial platform. You'll create the closed-source, cloud-native backend systems that serve as the enterprise counterpart to our open source offering, delivering the robustness, security, and scalability that enterprise customers demand.
You'll own two critical areas: (1) the cloud infrastructure for our enterprise offering and (2) the CI/CD pipelines for our open source packages. This dual ownership requires balancing startup speed with enterprise readiness—building infrastructure that lets us move quickly and iterate rapidly while still providing the stability and security enterprise customers require.
This is a backend-focused role with complete infrastructure ownership. You'll work primarily with TypeScript, Kubernetes, Docker and cloud-native technologies to build systems that maintain our startup agility while meeting enterprise-grade requirements. Your infrastructure will be the foundation of our enterprise business—directly enabling our ability to monetize at scale while preserving the innovation speed that drives our growth.
