About the job
🚀 Founding AI Engineer (Berkley, Onsite)
We’re building the first fully agentic social platform, starting with dating. Our AI understands user preferences, finds compatible matches, and even sets up real-life dates. The product has already gone viral across campuses, facilitated tens of thousands of real dates, and is backed by top-tier VCs and Google.
This is an early role on a <10 person team, working directly with the cofounders.
What you’ll do:
- Own agentic matchmaking end-to-end: retrieval, reasoning, tool use, safety — from research to production
- Build and evaluate prompts, models, and policies (offline + online, A/B testing)
- Design chat agents that feel fast, reliable, and human
- Build context pipelines (RAG, memory, summarization, grounding)
- Stand up agent observability: traces, costs, failures, hallucinations
- Ship internal tools and SDKs used by engineers — and by other AIs
What we’re looking for:
- 2–4+ years of experience or an exceptional portfolio of LLM/agent products
- Strong CS fundamentals and clean, maintainable code
- TypeScript + Python
- Experience with multiple LLM providers, tool/function calling, and fallbacks
- Hands-on RAG and prompt engineering with strong intuition for failure modes
- Comfort defining metrics (accuracy, latency, cost, safety) and iterating quickly
- Batchelors degree in Computer Science or other related field
Bonus points!!
