## About the role

AI has nailed objective domains and can generate anything. The hard part left is judgement: what fits, what feels like you, what's actually GREAT. We're turning that into something measurable, starting with design. You'll build the AI systems that power taste agent harnesses, memory, evals, tooling, data collection, index, search, graph, crawling, scraping, security and more.
