About Compresr

Compresr is an LLM context-compression API: send long context plus your query, get back a shorter context that keeps the answer-bearing tokens and drops the rest. Cut token cost and latency; at light compression, match or beat full-context accuracy. Python... Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

Hands-on supervision. We're around for brainstorming and high-level guidance, but you own your work and will be the person who knows it best. A well-defined project. We're early-stage and led by customer and market pull, so we work on several directions at once. You'll navigate this alongside the rest of us.

More about this role

Duration: 3 months, with a possibility of a full-time job afterwards

Start date: immediately

We're building state-of-the-art context compression. Our mission is to become the "Cloudflare for LLMs", a compression layer embedded into most LLM pipelines by default.

We're a team of ex-EPFL MSc/PhDs. We started by publishing papers, then got into YC and started making money helping companies cut their LLM costs.

Competitive compensation
