logcat.ai is the AI engineering layer for the operating-system stack. We build agentic systems for Linux and Android devices: we ingest the diagnostic artifacts a device emits (bugreports, logcat, dmesg, modem traces, ramdumps, perfetto, pcap, CAN) and help device makers diagnose, remediate, test, and author features across their OS stack, grounded in their own BSP. A VC-backed startup with a small, senior team — you work directly with the founders.

Own the core platform end to end: ingestion and processing of very large system-log artifacts, the runtime under our AI investigation agents, and the infrastructure that keeps it all reliable for customers. This is a founding seat — architecture, tech selection, CI/CD, and reliability are your calls, and you'll have a real vote in what we build and who we hire next.

We're not hiring for a traditional lane. We want someone who builds the automation, agentic workflows, and self-scaling systems that let a small team ship like a large one.

Location: Bengaluru, India (on-site). Full-time.

The bar

• 5+ years building backend or distributed systems at product companies — you've personally owned a system under real load and can talk concretely about its failure modes.

• Full-stack capable: you'll ship the API, the pipeline, the infra, and sometimes the UI.

• AI-native: you build harnesses and evals, not just accept autocomplete.

• Startup DNA: you've worked at an early or high-growth startup, or genuinely want to now — ownership over lanes, speed over ceremony, many hats.

• Proficient in day-to-day work with CLI-based AI coding tools like Claude Code (or an equivalent). It's how the team operates, not a nice-to-have.

What you'll do

• Build ingestion and processing for very large system-log artifacts, and the runtime our AI investigation agents run on.

• Own the infrastructure that keeps the platform reliable for customers: architecture, tech selection, CI/CD.

• Build the automation and agentic workflows that let a small team ship like a large one.

Bonus

• Observability, logging, or tracing systems.

• eBPF, Perfetto, ftrace.

• OS internals.

• Public OSS track record.

Compensation and benefits

• Top-of-market salary and founding equity.

• Comprehensive medical insurance for you and your family.
