Specific Intelligence for Your Business. Backed by Kleiner Perkins and Lux.

About the role

As an applied research engineer, you’ll own customer engagements end-to-end: understanding their data, their workflows, and their problems, then building and deploying agents that deliver real value. For our largest customers, you'll train custom models tailored to their specific needs. For others, you'll take what you learn and bring it back to improve our general agents. Train and post-train models for enterprises, from environment design through deployment

What they're looking for

  • Meaningful AI research experience, either in industry or academic work
  • Comfort diving into unfamiliar codebases and training models on real-world, messy data
  • Strong problem-solving skills, especially in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
  • Ability to work directly with customers: listening, empathizing, and understanding how their organizations operate
  • Desire to own problems end-to-end and deliver outcomes
