- BS/PhD/MS in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or related areas

What the job involves
- You.com is hiring a Senior/Staff AI Engineer to lead the development of AI across both Generative AI (e.g. LLMs) and Search
- This role is dedicated to researching, building, and deploying new product experiences using the latest advances in AI that push the boundaries of what AI assistants can do
- Augment and manage the core you.com LLM & AI infra as well as surrounding backend infrastructure
- Drive the development of new projects from ideation to deployment. This includes deep expertise in areas such as early ideation & prototyping, research, infrastructure, scalability, monitoring, and evaluation of AI systems
- Ability to quickly iterate on a product based on user feedback in a rapidly changing environment
Our take
The pressure for enterprises to adopt AI is mounting, but even with impressive advancements to the technology it can be difficult to implement effectively. Foundational models fail to meet the needs of enterprises, which require something they can more easily customise.
This is what you.com recognises and addresses, supplying solutions to empower its clients to build the artificial intelligence that best serves them. The company's enterprise AI product, combined with search and agent APIs and consulting, enables each business to adapt AI intelligently to its industry and aims.
Its a valuable proposition that has not gone unnoticed by the industry, with you.com raising a substantial amount of funding in 2025. This will be used to "build the infrastructure for the agentic era", as the company aims to support its clients into this next age of AI-empowered operations.
