Founding AI Engineer

About the role

You don't need experience training models from scratch, but you need a deep understanding of LLMs, embeddings, NLP, and agentic architectures; as well as an innate intuition what actually moves the needle on agentic quality.

Responsibilities

• Within 30 days, own our core agentic query loop — the experience of serving our customer's AI agents the right context at the right time.
• Within 60 days, work on our most ambitious projects: building a continuously updating, self-referential memory network; building procedural memory and memory for multi-user agents.
• Within 90 days, productionize our memory features, present your work at conferences, and will already be working on the problems AI agents will be facing a year from now.

Requirements

• 3-5 years of experience in applied machine learning, AI engineering, or Natural Language Processing
