Description

What You’ll Do: [Role focuses: Context Engineering, Memory and System]

  • Own the entire intelligence layer of the vision from scratch, driving end-to-end implementation of a highly personalized AI assistant across multimodal signals, context engineering, memory, and actions.
  • Shape an AI architecture that fiercely protects user privacy and data boundaries.
  • Build and own the pipelines, model workflows, APIs, storage, evaluation, monitoring, and privacy-first data handling behind all of it.
  • Work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to transform ambiguous human needs into robust AI capabilities.

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science or a related field.
  • At least 3 years of full-time work experience in related fields.
  • At least 2 years of gen AI experience building and shipping applied generative AI systems end-to-end.
  • Hands-on experience building and shipping AI systems with large language models (LLMs), vector language models (VLMs), or multimodal models, including the ability to run, adapt, and evaluate open-source models like DeepSeek, Qwen, Llama, or similar.
  • Deep understanding of context engineering—RAG, memory systems, embeddings, retrieval/ranking, MCP servers, agent frameworks, or other ways of making models reason over context they did not see in pretraining.
  • Strong Python and backend/systems engineering skills. Ability to stand up pipelines and take ambiguous ideas all the way to working systems.
  • Action-driven: when you hear a vague idea, your hands start moving. Absolute ownership in a fast-paced and high-intensity startup environment.
  • Clarity of thought, excellent communication.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive base salary.
  • Meaningful early-stage equity.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Immigration support: H1-B and green card sponsorship available for qualified candidates.
