OpenClaw Foundation, Remote (US) +1
The OpenClaw Foundation is seeking exceptional Members of Technical Staff (MTS) to serve as full-time maintainers, builders, and stewards of the OpenClaw ecosystem.
You will operate as both an open-source maintainer and product engineer, responsible for designing, building, maintaining, and evolving core components of the OpenClaw platform while supporting the broader contributor community that helps shape it.
The Foundation's technical staff are responsible for the long-term health of the ecosystem. They ship production code, review community contributions, guide architectural decisions, improve developer experience, maintain infrastructure, and help establish the technical standards that will underpin the future of agentic AI.
Unlike engineers at traditional startups, success is measured not only by what you build yourself, but by how effectively you enable an entire community to build alongside you.
This role is ideal for engineers who love open source, enjoy engaging with contributors, and want to work on infrastructure that may become foundational to the next generation of AI systems.
Modeled after the governance structures that shaped the open web and modern computing infrastructure, the Foundation serves as a neutral, multi-stakeholder convening body — the equivalent of W3C or the Linux Foundation for the agentic AI era. Major laboratories and infrastructure providers collaborate under its umbrella on shared, vendor-neutral infrastructure, with no single organization controlling the roadmap or direction.
The OpenClaw Foundation believes that individuals should have full sovereignty over their AI: their data, their interactions, and the behavior and personality of their agents. Open source is not incidental to this mission but central to it — code must remain free to use, modify, and build upon. The future of agentic AI will be defined by a broad, developer-driven community, not prescribed by any single commercial interest.
Candidates are not expected to have expertise in all areas.
The OpenClaw Foundation is the steward of the world's largest open source AI agent project. Its mission is grounded in a foundational conviction: that AI must be open, safe, and ultimately owned by the individuals and communities who use it.
