At , we’re building an agentic AI platform that scales expert-level domain knowledge across entire organizations.
For more than a decade, we’ve worked at the intersection of scientific research, industrial data, and applied AI, helping researchers, engineers, and business teams reason over complex technical knowledge.
Our products - Neuralith, Axion, and RSpace - span the full GenAI lifecycle:
Data ingestion across text, tables, figures, and technical formats
Advanced RAG and indexing pipelines
Agentic orchestration and reasoning
Rigorous LLM evaluation and governance
What makes us different: we care deeply about accuracy, evaluation, and responsibility. We don’t optimize for demos and proof-of-concepts we optimize for systems that experts trust and use.
As a Senior AI Engineer at , you’ll join a remote-first, AI-native team focused on building production-ready systems powered by RAG, LLMs, and AI agents. You’ll collaborate with research scientists, engineers, and product managers to design and deliver AI features that go beyond generation - helping users navigate, reason, and act on complex knowledge.
You’ll work across the full development lifecycle, from design to deployment, and play a key role in shaping how next-gen AI is evaluated, trusted, and adopted in real-world workflows.
Own the full development lifecycle — from idea to architecture, implementation, testing, and delivery of real-world AI products
Design and build robust AI systems, including ’s proprietary Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and LLM Evaluation Frameworks used by leading R&D teams
Drive innovation by testing new approaches and bringing new AI research into production
Collaborate across teams — work closely with researchers, product managers, and fellow engineers to shape and ship powerful features
Build systems for performance and reliability, ensuring they are scalable, testable, and maintainable

If you want to do meaningful work and grow in a culture built on trust, rigor, and fairness — let’s talk.
We’re not your typical tech company. We believe in:
Real transparency — information is shared, context is open, and questions are welcome.
Fairness, designed in policies, opportunities, and growth are aligned across countries and teams.
Ownership and empowerment to make decisions without micromanagement.
Metrics that guide us — but they never replace human thinking or responsibility
