Cake is on a mission to make cutting-edge AI accessible to enterprise teams. Enterprises want to move faster with AI, but are constrained by infrastructure complexity, high operating costs, and the governance required to run AI systems safely at scale. Cake removes those barriers, enabling teams to deploy and operate AI/ML platforms 10x faster and 10x cheaper than traditional approaches—without sacrificing reliability or control.

Cake runs inside the customer’s own VPC, giving enterprises full ownership of their data, security, and operations. Cake solves the full infrastructure problem across 4 layers: compute infrastructure management, open-source ML components, common integrations, and pre-built project components. Built-in security, monitoring, and governance ensure clean ownership, enforce guardrails, and provide a dependable path from experimentation to production at scale.

Backed by top investors, Cake is seeing strong adoption and is positioned for rapid growth in the next 12 months. Our culture emphasizes ownership, clear communication, and collaboration, with a high bar for operational excellence and production-ready systems. What you’ll do As a Staff Software Engineer, you will play a critical leadership role in building and operating the infrastructure that powers Cake’s AI platform.

This is a high-ownership role for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of distributed systems, clou
