The posting

ABOUT US

We are a well-funded, early-stage AI lab focused on building the next generation of frontier multimodal AI models. Founded by former DeepMind researchers, including Andrew Dai, who was previously a leader on Gemini. Our team currently consists of 20 world-class scientists and engineers. We recently raised $55M in seed funding from Striker Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Altimeter Capital, and NVIDIA. We are tackling some of the hardest problems in artificial intelligence, and we are growing fast.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a software engineer to design, optimize, and scale the core systems that serve our foundational visual reasoning models. Your work will make inference, backend services, and distributed execution faster, more cost-effective, and highly reliable, so our researchers can focus on advancing multimodal model reasoning capabilities rather than managing backend bottlenecks.

Our focus is on performant, efficient systems for frontier visual intelligence—both to power real-world, high-throughput applications and to accelerate fundamental research. This role owns the backend and systems software that ensures every deployment, distributed evaluation, and execution pipeline runs seamlessly at scale for our visual foundation models.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Architect and own the core distributed backend services, APIs, and data execution pipelines that power our visual reasoning model ecosystem

- Solve fundamental scale, concurrency, and reliability challenges across large-scale distributed clusters to achieve maximum throughput and sub-second latency

- Build event-driven streaming frameworks, distributed task scheduling, and state management systems designed for high-volume multimodal data workloads

- Lead the technical design for fault tolerance, high availability, and auto-scaling across our entire backend service topology

- Partner closely with research and engineering teams to translate cutting-edge visual AI capabilities into high-performance, developer-facing systems and APIs

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- 3+ years of software engineering experience building, scaling, and maintaining high-impact distributed backend systems handling massive data volumes and high-throughput traffic

- Deep understanding of distributed systems principles, high concurrency, event-driven architectures, and fault-tolerant design at scale

- Proven track record of managing and optimizing large-volume data architectures, including distributed task queues, streaming pipelines, and low-latency communication frameworks.

- Strong proficiency in modern systems/backend languages.

- Track record of shipping mission-critical backend features, eliminating system bottlenecks under heavy load, and operating high-throughput production systems

NICE TO HAVE

- Direct experience working inside an AI frontier lab, AI research institute, or core platform engineering team supporting foundation model development

- Practical experience building backend systems or data pipelines for multimodal models.

LOGISTICS

- Location: Palo Alto, CA (Hybrid, 3 days in office)

- Type: Full-time

- Compensation: $300k – $450k + meaningful equity stake + full health/wellness benefits

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
