Role
Who you are
- A builder at heart
- Motivated by solving real problems for real customers
- Energized by understanding and talking to users
- Someone that loves to sweat the details
- Able to navigate ambiguity and work independently without explicit directions
- Either experienced or interested in being a founder of a software product company
- Experienced with React/Typescript and Python
What the job involves
- In this role, you’ll have the unique opportunity to shape our product and help build 0-1 — not just the technologies that we use, but the overall direction of our product as it evolves. You will be responsible for building across our entire stack, understanding customer needs, and contributing to our product roadmap
- This role is a particularly good fit for anyone who either has previously been, or would like to be, a founder of a software product company
- We are looking primarily for good product intuition and judgment — someone who understands what actually matters and then makes that happen
- Conduct user interviews and ask insightful questions while shadowing current or potential users
- Implement rough prototypes for potential product ideas or iterations
- Collect, parse, and ideate on feedback generated from both internal and external users
- Quickly assemble code abstractions to enable fast iteration, and exercise judgment to delete code that doesn’t contribute as strongly to product fit
- Ship backend and frontend code against various interfaces (web, CLI, IDE, etc.)
- Collaborate with our product design team to transform promising ideas into new product features
Application process
- All submissions are reiewed by a person, so we encourage you to include notes on why you're interested in working with us
- If you have any other work that you can showcase (open source code, side projects, etc.), certainly include it
- We know that talent comes from many backgrounds, and we aim to build a team with diverse skillsets that spike strongly in different areas
- We try to reply either way within a week or two at most (usually much sooner)
Our take
Since the widened attention placed on generative AIs such as Chat GPT, it seems that investors have intensified their interest in general intelligence. Imbue is one of the most recent AI research and training companies to step into the limelight after it achieved unicorn status in a $200 million Series B funding round in 2023.
With competition including the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic, Imbue researches and improves the reasoning of AI models. Its focus on foundational AI means that its training has a wide range of lucrative applications. Using a full-stack approach (essentially building its tech from scratch) enables the creation of feedback loops that gradually develop even better AI models.
