About Crustdata

Real-time B2B data via simple APIs. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

Skills: Python, PyTorch, NLP, LLMs, Information Retrieval, Entity Resolution, Text Classification We're building the gateway to the internet for AI agents. Our APIs already power hundreds of customers — and we went from 0 to $7M ARR in our first 12 months. Now we need someone who can push the boundaries of what our ML systems can do.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years building and shipping ML models in production — NLP, information retrieval, or entity resolution
  • Strong with transformer architectures — you've trained and fine-tuned encoder models, not just called APIs
  • You know how to build and evaluate retrieval systems, classifiers, and embedding models
  • Comfortable with contrastive learning, metric learning, and representation learning
  • Experience using LLMs for structured extraction, classification, or data generation at scale
  • Strong Python and PyTorch
