Infrastructure Engineer (Equity-Based)
Company: Coherence OS Location: Remote (Global) Compensation: Equity-Only (Slicing Pie) → Cash at Break-Even We’re building Coherence OS because we believe the next era of technology requires more than speed and scale — it requires meaning, integrity, and systems that hold over time. This role isn’t for someone looking for a job. It’s for someone who wants to build infrastructure they can stand behind years from now, alongside a small, serious team that values fairness, clarity, and real ownership. We use the Slicing Pie model because it’s the only compensation system we’ve found that actually treats people like adults: contribution in equals ownership earned, dollar for dollar. If that resonates with you — not as a gamble, but as a principle — you’ll probably feel at home here. About Coherence OS Coherence OS is an AI-native operating system focused on preserving human meaning, identity, and ethical coherence in the age of advanced automation. We are building foundational infrastructure intended to support long-lived, global-scale systems — not short-term SaaS experiments. This role is for someone who wants to build the substrate, not just ship tickets. Company Stage & Visibility Coherence OS is in its earliest build phase. We are intentionally operating with a minimal public footprint while core systems, filings, and internal foundations are being finalized. We do not have a public website yet. Full context about the company, mission, and roadmap will be shared during the interview process. This role is part of the initial engineering team and is best suited for candidates who are comfortable joining early, helping shape foundational systems, and building before everything is public.

In this role, you will work closely with engineering, data, and security teams to ensure our systems are scalable, reliable, secure, and highly available.
