E2B is hiring: 14 open roles
Overview
E2B provides JavaScript and Python SDKs that start isolated cloud sandboxes and run shell commands inside them. Companion packages add a Code Interpreter (runCode/run_code) and a Desktop SDK for mouse, keyboard and screenshot control. The runtime can be self-hosted with Terraform on AWS, GCP, Azure or a generic Linux machine; the hosted service needs an API key.
Who it is for: Developers who need sandboxed code execution for agents or app builders
Strengths
- Official JavaScript/TypeScript and Python SDKs with a matching sandbox API
- Separate Code Interpreter and Desktop SDKs cover code execution and computer use
- Self-hosting supported on AWS, GCP, Azure and generic Linux via Terraform
- Apache-2.0 license; cookbook repo has examples for several LLMs and frameworks
Weaknesses
- Hosted use requires an E2B account and API key
- Self-hosted runtime lives in a separate repo, e2b-dev/runtime
- README gives no resource requirements, pricing or sandbox limits
- Provides sandboxes only; agent logic and LLM integration are left to you
What it needs
- Python
- Needs E2B API key (hosted), Terraform (self-hosting)
- Docker
