Machine Learning Infrastructure Engineer

Build the infrastructure to serve personal AI models privately and at scale.

We're building the first truly private, personal AI – one that learns your skills, judgment, and preferences without big tech ever seeing your data.

Our core ML systems challenge : how do we serve the world’s best personal model, at low cost and high speed, with bulletproof privacy?

What you'll do

• Build the infrastructure that lets us create & deploy thousands and eventually millions of personalized finetuned models for our customers
• Monitor & optimize in-the-wild model serving performance to hit low latency & cost
• Interface with the TEE-based privacy stack that lets us guarantee user data & models can only be seen & used by the user—not even us—and integrate the privacy architecture with the finetuning & inference code

About Workshop Labs

We’re building the AI economy for humans. While everyone else tries to automate the world top-down, we believe in augmenting people bottom-up.

Our team previously created evals used by Open AI, completed frontier AI research at MIT / Cambridge / Oxford, worked in Stuart Russell's lab, and led product verticals at high growth startups.

Our founders' essay series on AI’s economic impacts and the technology we’ll need to keep humans relevant, The Intelligence Curse , has been covered in TIME , The New York Times , and AI 2027 .

Our vision is for everyone to have a personal AI aligned to their goals and values, helping them stay durably relevant in a post-AGI economy. As a public benefit corporation, we have a fiduciary duty to ensure that as AI becomes more powerful, humans become more empowered, not disempowered or replaced.

We’re an early stage startup, backed by legendary investors like Brad Burnham and Matt McIlwain, visionary product leaders like Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky, philosopher-builders like Brendan McCord, and top AI safety funds like Juniper Ventures. Our investors were early at Anthropic, Slack, Prime Intellect, DuckDuckGo, and Goodfire. Our advisors have held senior roles at Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and UK AISI.
