Infrastructure Engineer Intern @ Dedalus Labs
Mission
Dedalus Labs builds persistent computers for AI agents. Our flagship product, Dedalus Machines, gives agents an isolated environment where they can run software, keep files and state, and work over time.
We’re building the persistent compute layer that powers the next generation of autonomous software. Our platform spans distributed storage, virtualization, orchestration, networking, scheduling, and runtime infrastructure for long-running AI agents.
We’re looking for unusually high-potential engineers who want to learn how reliable systems are designed, built, broken, and improved.
What you'd do
- Think distributed systems are one of computer science’s most beautiful subjects.
- Want to understand why systems fail—not merely how to make the happy path work.
- Have built something technically difficult relative to your experience.
- Can explain the hardest part of a project, what failed, and what you personally contributed.
- Care about consistency, fault tolerance, concurrency, latency, and system correctness.
- Enjoy learning how operating systems, storage engines, schedulers, networks, and runtimes work.
- Read technical papers, source code, or engineering postmortems because you are genuinely curious.
- Prefer building and experimenting over collecting credentials.
- Learn unusually quickly and act deeply on feedback.
- Are comfortable working through ambiguity and taking ownership without waiting for detailed instructions.
About Dedalus Labs · Engineering
This is a paid, full-time, approximately three-month internship based in San Francisco. Applications remain open on a rolling, year-round basis. When we meet an exceptional or unusually high-slope engineer, we can invite them to join the team for a season. You’ll work directly alongside Dedalus engineers on real infrastructure, not a disconnected intern project.
