Founding AI/ML Engineer

We're hiring a researcher/engineer to solve deep AI challenges.

Join us in building state-of-the-art agent systems for previously unsolved domains. You'll work on diverse AI challenges that push the boundaries of what's possible with current models.

Your mission:

• Work on building and constantly improving a SOTA Agent for our domain

• Design robust learning pipelines (e.g. RLHF, RL) and build any custom environments needed for feedback signal

• Set up a durable eval strategy

• Train smaller models for scoped tasks

• Leverage a variety of open source text and image models

• Stay abreast of research — we will have budget for you to attend conferences

• Shape our technical and hiring strategy alongside the founding team

You:

• Have experience with AI agents, RLHF or reinforcement learning (even in academic projects/internships)

• Are extremely comfortable in Python and ML frameworks

• Have a builder mindset, whether through research projects, internships, side projects, or production systems

• Can make independent progress on shipping user-facing features

• (Bonus) Have an advanced degree

• (Bonus) Have started a company or been early at a startup

• A note on seniority: We believe in slope over y intercept, and are open to a broad range of experiences and seniority.

Why us?

• Learning & Growth: Direct mentorship from founders who've built Dover (raised $23M) and Heap ($960M valuation, acquired). You'll learn how to build and scale transformative products from people who've done it.

• Impact: The team is small and will stay small. We aspire to a very high revenue to headcount ratio. Every engineer directly shapes the product and company trajectory. No layers, no politics, just building.

• Ownership: We're a high-trust environment where you'll own significant projects from day one, with support when you need it.

• Ambition: We're redefining who can use design tools and how they work, with a massive potential audience and the technical challenges to match.

• Speed: We move incredibly quickly. You'll ship more in a month here than most engineers ship in a year.
