Founding Infrastructure Engineer/MTS

@alysha_lobo** (Aug 10, 2026): Hiring a Founding Infrastructure Engineer/MTS for a “Stealth-stage AI research lab. Funded. Building from Bangalore.” Focused on hard foundational problems (distributed systems, data infra, scaling, adversarial endpoints). While more infra than pure ML, it’s in an AI research context with “cracked founders” and uses the stealth framing. Form application required but still informal tone.[[8]](https://x.com/alysha_lobo/status/2086695907471560821) There are also several connectors (e.g. @boardyai) who post “I know a founder/hiring manager looking for [AI/LLM/applied AI engineer] — DM me for an intro.” These often represent stealth or early teams but are one step removed.[[9]](https://x.com/boardyai/status/2092115745803301029) ### Tips **Quiet hiring** on X tends to favor people who DM with concise, high-signal info (relevant experience, shipped work, why them specifically, resume/GitHub/papers if asked). Many of these roles emphasize frontier-level work, shipped systems, or specific sub-skills (post-training, agents, computer vision, long-horizon research, etc.). Posts can move quickly or fill quietly, so the most recent ones (Dylan Babbs, @_inception_ai, the YC/Gurgaon ML role, Zach’s stealth AI search) are likely the hottest right now. Search X directly with variations of “quietly hiring” + “ML engineer” / “LLM” / “DM me” + since:2026-06-01 for anything newer that appears after this. Would you like me to:
