My co-founder and I have been building devtools together for the past 6 years. Last year, we started E2B - open source runtime for AI agents - based on our need when we were building an app with AI code execution. We've been focused on making it easy to run AI-generated code safely in cloud in our sandboxes.

I'm looking for product and infrastructure/cloud engineers interested in the AI space looking to join early fast growing startup with revenue and customers from seed to enterprise companies.
