Who We Are

We’re building OpenHands, an open-source AI platform that empowers engineering teams to accelerate development, automate workflows, and integrate intelligent coding assistance into real-world software delivery.

The Platform team is responsible for the infrastructure and systems that power OpenHands, including our self-hosted enterprise product. It's a small, senior team and you'll have real ownership over meaningful parts of the platform, working on hard problems in infrastructure, orchestration, and enterprise deployment.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain our self-hosted deployment product: installation, configuration, and upgrades

• Support customer POCs and self-hosted deployments, helping ensure successful rollouts in diverse environments

• Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code and take features from design through to deployment

• Own the Cloud infrastructure running our SaaS product

• Debug complex cross-system issues and deliver sustainable fixes

• Collaborate closely with teammates across Platform and the broader engineering team to execute on the platform roadmap

• Contribute to infrastructure standards, observability, and reliability practices

• Help grow a strong engineering culture through code review, documentation, and knowledge sharing
  

What You Bring

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience

• Deep experience with Kubernetes and Helm; these are core to how we build and operate OpenHands

• Experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.)

• Solid understanding of networking, security, and operational experience with PostgreSQL and Redis

• Familiarity with authentication and identity systems (SSO, SAML, OIDC, RBAC) is a plus

• Experience with Replicated or similar embedded Kubernetes Installer platforms is a plus

• Track record of shipping reliable, production-grade platform or infrastructure systems

• Interest in AI/LLM-powered developer tools and open-source software (bonus if you've contributed to OSS)

Why Join OpenHands

• Competitive compensation: $175,000 - $225,000 base salary, plus equity and bonus

• Remote-first with flexible hours (core hours 12–4pm ET | 4–8pm UTC)

• Fully covered U.S. health, vision, and dental insurance

• Unmetered PTO + holidays

• High-impact role with early ownership of architecture, product, and culture

• Work with world-class engineers, product builders, and AI researchers

• Contribute to open source used by developers around the world

• A culture built on kindness, candor, autonomy, and learning
