About Poly

Intelligent Personal Cloud Storage. Backed by Y Combinator and Felicis.

About the role

We are looking to grow from a team of three (we've accomplished a lot as just two engineers and one designer!) to a clan of around eight, so you'll be anywhere from engineer #3 to #7. You'll be tasked with bringing Poly to life as a robust platform, shaping our cloud architecture to store files at breathtaking speed and scale, and improving our AI architecture to become the "search engine for your life".

What they're looking for

  • In this role, experience with AI modeling or training is not required, though it is still highly desirable
  • An extreme appetite for learning that you've honed through recursive self-improvement. You should be able to demonstrate an exceptional aptitude for automating your own development processes
  • You thrive in independent, inter-disciplinary environments, and you are skilled at collaborating across domains and for productively engaging with people of all kinds
  • You are willing to leave judgments about gender, race, creed, background, belief, or politics for outside of the workplace so that we can focus on building the world's best file storage platform for everyone
  • You are capable of (and excited to) work in-person 5-days a week in SoMa, San Francisco

We are adamant that Poly is the future way to store files for everyone because:

  • Our product is intelligent -- all your files are indexed and searchable with an AI that can find and even sort and organize your files, search by image and many other file types, and soon ask questions about your files and watch as an AI system references your own files to give an answer.
  • We’re maximally multimodal. We support any audio, video, document, office file, slide deck, text file, PDF, and a whole lot more. We even support saving web links and youtube videos to your Poly file system and asking the AI about them.
  • We’re completely, 100% cross-platform -- Our product looks identical across web and desktop, with zero compromises in the UI/UX, and...
