Job Description
About Arcade
Arcade is the MCP runtime powering AI agents in production. We connect agents to enterprise systems with built-in authorization, governance, and audit trails. Our platform enables Fortune 100 companies like Morgan Stanley and OpenTable to deploy AI agents safely and securely.
The Role
As a Distributed Systems Engineer, you'll define how AI interacts with the world and how humans build and manage those tools. You'll architect production-grade integrations and the services & toolkits that run them—building the runtime and registry for AI/LLM tools.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and build distributed systems that power the Arcade runtime
- Create production-grade integrations connecting AI agents to enterprise systems
- Develop services and toolkits for secure AI action execution
- Implement authorization, governance, and audit mechanisms
- Shape how developers build and manage AI tools at scale
Why Join
- Real Traction: Deployed with Fortune 100 customers including Morgan Stanley and OpenTable
- Exceptional Leadership: CEO previously founded Stormpath (acquired by Okta); CTO led vector database at Redis and contributes to LangChain and LlamaIndex
- World-Class Team: Engineers from Okta, Redis, Microsoft, Splunk, Ngrok, Google, Airbyte, Disney, and HPE
- Perfect Timing: Every enterprise racing to production with AI agents—the market is 10x bigger than founder's previous success
- Strategic Backing: Series A led by SYN Ventures with investment from Morgan Stanley and Wipro; earlier investors backed Databricks, Clickhouse, MongoDB, Perplexity, and Cohere
- Massive Market Opportunity: Building critical infrastructure for the biggest technological shift of our generation
The Vision
We're creating the definitive tools catalog, actions platform, and governance model unlocking AI's true potential—think Zapier for AI Actions and Auth0 for AI combined.
