Job Description

Member of Technical Staff - Islo

Engineering teams want background agents that pick up tasks, run on their own, and hand back real results - PRs, fixes, verified outcomes.

Islo is the runtime for autonomous coding agents. We run agents in isolated environments connected to real tools with a policy layer that blocks what you didn't approve. Enterprise teams use us to deploy agents they can actually trust.

We're a small team in Tel Aviv. Engineers figure out what to build, talk to customers directly, and ship it. We're growing fast and hiring people who want to own product - not just tickets.

If you're ready to solve hard problems in a space that's being invented in real time, come join us.

As a Member of Technical Staff

You will engineer innovative cloud solutions:

• Build robust, scalable cloud services in Rust, Python and TypeScript for Islo's agent runtime.
• Design and implement secure, isolated agent environments using MicroVMs, virtualization, containers, and other isolation techniques.
• Develop developer-facing surfaces creating clean abstractions over low-level infrastructure.
• Build agent orchestration, policy engines, and verification layers that let background agents pick up tasks, use real tools, and hand back results humans can review.
• Build resilient, high-performance solutions.

You will shape the product:

• Own problems end-to-end - from understanding the user's pain to shipping the solution.
• Talk to customers regularly: discovery calls, onboarding sessions, debugging their workflows, gathering feedback on what we shipped.
• Turn messy, ambiguous requests into clear product decisions - what to build and what to cut.
• Write lightweight specs and design docs when it helps the team move fast; skip the ceremony when it doesn't.
• Prioritize the backlog based on customer impact and what the team learns in the field.
• Demo new capabilities to customers and iterate based on what you learn in the room.
• Join customer calls - technical deep-dives, onboarding, troubleshooting live agent runs.
• Attend and speak at conferences and meetups on agents, developer tools, and AI infrastructure.
• Be the technical face of Islo with early adopters: answer hard questions, collect real-world failure modes, bring insights back to the team.

We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't perfectly align with all requirements. We prioritize a positive attitude and potential over an exact match in experience or skills. Juniors are welcome - if you've shipped something, enjoy talking to users, and want to learn how autonomous agents actually run in production, we'd love to hear from you.
