About the role

Search is our interface to information. A search engine with new capabilities -- creativity, memory, analogy -- will change what we know and how we think.

We're looking for research scientists and research engineers to join our team. We have a lot of compute per capita and have a good shot at defining a future technology. If that sounds up your alley, here's what we're looking for:

  • You have graduate level ML experience (or are an exceptionally strong undergrad)
  • You have an eye for fundamental, novel architectures that can scale
  • You're comfortable implementing your own ideas and creating large-scale datasets
  • (Research engineer applicants only) You have a good understanding of performance optimization and distributed computing

Still apply even if you think you don't fit all the criteria—exceptionally good researchers often don't follow conventional paths.

About Exa

At Exa, we're building a next-generation AI search engine—one that outperforms Google for power users. We help people find the information they can’t get anywhere else: https://exa.ai/websets

We're an SF team of ~20 from Harvard, MIT, Apple, Palantir, etc. We recently raised a Series A from Lightspeed + Nvidia, and we are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history.
