DeepSeek is hiring 150 engineers, and none of them will touch a model

The New Stack · 1 month ago · 4

DeepSeek announced it is hiring about 150 engineers to build and maintain the server-side infrastructure for running and evaluating AI agent sandboxes, rather than doing AI model research. The hiring targets September 7, with roles focused on Agent Elastic Compute and related systems like scheduling, storage, and virtualization. As workloads scale to hundreds of thousands of concurrent sandboxes, DeepSeek plans upgrades and rewrites to its backend, including DSec and its sandbox environment and recovery mechanisms.
