About the role

Gray runs on the user’s own box. Their keys, their data, nothing sent to us. That promise is an engineering problem. A self-hosted runtime that installs in minutes, updates itself safely, and never loses a session. You will own it.

What you will own

Own the self-hosted runtime. Install, update, recovery, observability
Make setup feel guided. Scan a code, paste a tailnet URL, connected
Build the device-to-box transport. Tailnets, NAT traversal, reconnection
Keep the runtime honest on small machines. A Raspberry Pi is a valid prod box
Write the docs operators actually read. Short, exact, copy-pasteable

What you bring

Deep Linux fluency. Systemd, networking, containers, the unglamorous parts
You have shipped self-hosted or on-prem software and supported it
A backend language in production, and the judgment to keep it boring
Empathy for the person at 2am with a broken box

Nice to have

Tailscale or WireGuard experience
You maintain a self-hosted stack at home
Packaging for many distros without crying

About Gray

Gray is voice-first AI you operate like a terminal. You speak and it runs real work across your machines. SSH sessions, multi-agent jobs, files, scheduled tasks. Then it speaks back. It is self-hosted, private by architecture, and built for the people who run the internet’s plumbing.
