More about this role
Y/n is creating a new form of entertainment: interactive stories. Y/n lets people play a character in a book, finally letting anyone meddle with the universes and characters they care about.
Our mission is to build a superhuman A.I. storyteller and distribute it to billions of people. We're giving the technology to creators, so they can turn their most ingenious ideas into stories others can live in.
To date, people have sent over one billion messages on Y/n. Teenagers and twenty-somethings are going to imaginary schools, falling in love with fictional people, and living out entire lives in A.I.-generated stories made for them.
Soon, billions will play stories too, across every genre, in text, in video, alone or with their friends. By 2030, playing stories will become the dominant form of entertainment.
- Story quality determines Y/n's success, so we hire people obsessed with making stories great.
- We are commercially minded. We want people who use their abilities to make numbers go up.
- We run Y/n like a hedge fund: a small group of people making very big bets on model training and network effects. We hire people who think rigorously and own their domain.
