Stacklok is led by CEO Craig McLuckie and CTO Joe Beda, two of the creators of Kubernetes. Kubernetes helped give enterprises more freedom over where and how they run software. As AI agents take on more autonomous, long-running work, enterprises need infrastructure to run them securely and reliably at scale, without giving up control of their data, systems, or models. We’re building open, Kubernetes-native infrastructure that brings together agent execution, secure access to tools and systems, and centralized controls for identity, permissions, and policy. This is an opportunity to help shape a foundational layer for enterprise AI while the architecture is still being defined.

Our open source projects include ToolHive, an MCP platform that secures more than 20 million tool calls each month, and Mecatl, a cloud-native agent harness. Our commercial offering, Stacklok Enterprise, extends these capabilities with an AI gateway, centralized identity, policy enforcement, and observability.

This is a remote role based in North America, with a strong preference for candidates located in the U.Enterprises are moving AI agents into production, and they want to run them the way they run everything else: on their own Kubernetes clusters, behind their firewall, and connected to the identity systems they already use. Stacklok Enterprise, our commercial platform for running and governing AI agents, is built for that, by a team whose founders co-created Kubernetes.

As a Senior Engineer on the core platform team, you will design and build major parts of the platform and own them from design through production. That work runs in customers’ Kubernetes environments, so your design tradeoffs shape how the product holds up in the field. The areas you own will shift as the product grows, and you will mentor the engineers building alongside you.

As one of the key engineers helping them reach production, you will also work with some as design partners on our newest features and products.



It is a high-ownership role in an emerging category, with a short path from customer feedback to what ships.

Designed and shipped a complete subsystem end to end that is now running in production for enterprise customers.

Helped take one or more customers from proof-of-concept to production on their own Kubernetes, and turned their feedback into a platform feature.

Raised the team’s bar by mentoring engineers and strengthening the product engineering culture.

Write production Go code for commercial software that runs reliably in customer Kubernetes environments, with observability, testing, and error handling built in.

If this role excites you and you bring most of it, we encourage you to apply.

Proficiency in Go, with a proven track record designing and shipping complete production-grade distributed systems as part of a commercial software product.

Hands-on experience deploying and running applications on Kubernetes in production, ideally across different customer cloud environments, such as AWS, Azure and GCP.

Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers, driving code review, and raising the quality of a team’s work.
