About The Position

Join our mission We're proud to work with many incredible companies, accelerating their ability to build their products. We've spent years watching talented engineering teams lose momentum to the same frustrating bottleneck: waiting. Waiting for CI to finish. Waiting for builds to complete. Waiting for tests to run. After experiencing this pain firsthand at companies of every size, we set out to build the developer infrastructure platform we'd always wanted to use. Something that would seamlessly integrate with our workflows and the tools teams already love—but make everything dramatically faster and more cost-effective. Today, we're already accelerating hundreds of companies around the world, helping them ship features instead of waiting for infrastructure. We've built something that feels almost magical in its simplicity: change your runs-on line, mount your toolchain cache directory and suddenly your builds are 5x faster. About the role Namespace's approach is low-friction, designed for immediate integration into existing developer toolchains, empowering teams to experience tangible results within just five minutes. With an end-to-end stack optimized for high performance—including compute, memory, storage, and networking—Namespace delivers capabilities and efficiencies unmatched by traditional cloud providers. As the Product Engineering Lead for Namespace in the US, you'll establish the US presence for Namespace. Apart from building a high performing team, you'll also lead technical decisions and develop products that significantly enhance developer productivity. You'll build intuitive, performant user-facing applications and integrations that seamlessly fit into developers' existing workflows, directly impacting their ability to ship faster and more efficiently.
