Job Description

About Kernel

We’re building the developer platform that lets AI agents use applications, starting with browsers. Our edge is an infrastructure platform that’s extensible, observable, and built for scale from day one.Our platform handles the hard stuff: spinning up browsers quickly and efficiently at scale, providing great observability into their activity, and enabling both humans and AI agents to interact with them. If you’re interested in building critical infrastructure for the next generation of AI applications, we’d love to chat.

About the role

As New Grad Software Engineer at Kernel, you’ll build the core systems that power our AI agent platform end-to-end. You’ll own critical developer-focused APIs + frontend surfaces from conception to production, working with bleeding edge tech that needs to be both reliable and low latency. You’ll also play a foundational role in how we build Kernel’s culture.

What you’ll do

  • Design, develop, and scale new our product suite of developer tools, CLIs, APIs, frontend interfaces

  • Ship quickly and iterate on our product based on user feedback

  • Shape Kernel’s hiring decisions and culture as we grow

What we’re looking for

  • Must be a current or recent graduate (< 2 years of work experience) in computer science

  • Must be Cincinnati-based and in-person alongside our CTO

  • Low ego, high impact: you care more about building something meaningful than who gets credit

  • Start-up ready: early stage sometimes means figuring it out as we go, and that energizes rather than drains you

  • Excited to crush it: we’re moving fast and looking for people excited about high velocity, high impact work, and having fun along the way.

What you can expect as a Kernel

  • Industry-competitive salary

  • Premium medical + dental coverage + dependent coverage

  • Small, trusting team of senior + staff engineers

  • Directly work and receive mentorship in-person with our CTO

  • $1k / mo budget for LLM usage fees #vibecheck

  • Daily lunches on us

  • Unlimited PTO

  • 401k + company match

  • Relocation assistance

Hiring process

We have a simple process focused on real world collaboration and jointly getting to know each other:

  1. 30 minute intro calls with each of Kernel’s co-founders (1 hour total)

  2. Half-day on-site (virtual or in-person) working with our team and co-founders on relevant technical challenges.

  3. Offer!
