About Percepta Labs

Percepta is a General Catalyst transformation company helping critical institutions actualize AI transformation. Backed by Techstars.

About the role

We’re hiring Applied AI Engineers who will work directly with customer executives, operators, and technical teams to define and deliver high-impact AI systems. We don't build prototypes or laboratory projects- you’ll design, build, and ship production-grade AI agents and workflows that drive millions in business value for customers.

What they're looking for

  • AI-nativeness : You're excited about the potential for AI to transform businesses and want to play a hands-on role in bringing frontier technology into critical institutions
  • Being generative and collaborative: You love constantly jamming on new “what if” ideas with teammates and partners
  • Extreme ownership : You’re willing to jump in and love being the one on the hook. You aren’t going to wait to be pointed at a task—you’re going to identify what you think we should do next, and then do it
  • Execution excellence and speed : You can build stuff in messy environments and know how to get code written and shipped quickly. You can hold the balance of speed and quality and know when to push the pace vs. when to slow down
  • Customer-obsession and respect : You’re motivated by understanding customer pain points and iterating directly with end users to deliver wins quickly
  • Hands-on experience with LLM tooling (LangGraph, Mastra, Agents SDK, etc)
