Engineering Lead

Who we are Founded in New York and backed by top-tier venture capital firms, Plural is the AI-native operating system for enterprise infrastructure. The AI era has triggered a 10x explosion in code output, but the infrastructure underneath is still managed at human speed. Plural changes that — giving DevOps and platform teams an agentic execution layer that reasons across their entire estate and takes action faster and safer than any human team can. Our platform unifies the fragmented context spread across Kubernetes, Terraform, Git, observability, ticketing, and the cloud console into a single semantic graph. On top of that graph, we run always-on AI agents that investigate alerts, remediate CVEs, automate fleet-wide upgrades, and close infrastructure tickets — every action grounded in your real environment and surfaced as a reviewable pull request. Most tools stop at observation. Plural executes. The Plural team comprises exceptional talent from industry leaders such as MongoDB, Facebook, Amazon, and Bloomberg. Our values of transparency, inclusivity, open-mindedness, kindness, and excellence drive us to build something genuinely new at the intersection of AI and enterprise infrastructure.
