Build the Infrastructure That Keeps the World's Software Secure

AI is writing code faster than anyone can vet it. 98% of applications include open source, and most organizations have no idea how to successfully manage and secure it.

ActiveState does. We've been building the infrastructure to secure open source for 25+ years, and right now is the most important moment in that story.

Software Engineering

ActiveState secures open source for the AI coding era. Through our Curated Catalog, we deliver vetted open-source components that are built from source, continuously remediated in SLSA Level 3 infrastructure, and delivered through the tools teams already use, giving security and engineering teams a trusted foundation whether code is written by humans or AI.What You'll Be DoingAt ActiveState, we run highly scalable, 100% automated systems that rebuild open-source languages and libraries from source, securely and repeatably, across many languages and platforms, and deliver them to customers through our Curated Catalog. Doing this at scale is a problem of security, orchestration, and automation, and this team owns the systems that make it possible.You'll implement, maintain, and improve the infrastructure beneath everything we build, keeping our product and engineering organization productive. That means automating cloud deployments, strengthening the security and monitoring of apps and services running in Kubernetes, Nomad, and other cluster systems, and continually improving how we build and ship open-source at scale.We're a polyglot team that reaches for the best tool for the job, whether that's Golang, Javascript, Python, Docker, Kubernetes, GraphQL, or an AI agent, with practices built on GitHub, pull requests, code review, CI, measurement and testing, and agile development. Quality matters as much as speed, so you'll write solid tests and documentation and help us keep improving.Developers across ActiveState rely on you to handle the hard parts of networking, deployment, monitoring, reliability, and to make AI and agentic tooling safe and productive to reach for. Customers rely on that same work for a product that's stable, reliable, secure, and available.This job is a mixture of tools development and operations. Sometimes it makes sense to write our own tools, and other times to adopt, configure, and deploy open source projects or cloud-native services. Your experience and expertise will be essential in deciding which approach best suits our needs, including how we bring agentic AI capabilities into production safely and responsibly.The team is remote-first, primarily in the US and Canada, so we coordinate with each other and the rest of the company using Slack for chat, Zoom for video calls and screen sharing, Jira, and the Google Suite. We use open source software whenever possible, and we contribute back to the open source ecosystem. We embrace open sourcing both libraries and tools developed in-house as long as those are not customer-value core competency.If reducing complexity, improving reliability, and helping your fellow developers ship faster is the kind of work that excites you, we'd love to meet you.
