About TextLayer

TextLayer helps enterprises and funded startups build, deploy, and scale advanced AI systems, without rewriting their infrastructure.

We provide engineering teams with a modular, stable foundation, so they can adopt AI without betting on the wrong tech. Our flagship stack, TextLayer Core, is maintainable, tailored to the environment, and deployed with Terraform and standardized APIs.

We’re a team on a mission to help power enterprise clients with AI-enabled tools and processes. We’re looking for sharp, curious people who want to meaningfully shape how we build, operate, and deliver.

If you're excited to work on foundational AI infrastructure, ship production-grade systems quickly, and help define what agentic software looks like in practice, we’d love to meet you.
