Founding ML Engineer (Remote)

A stealth startup, born from research at Stanford's Human-Centred AI Lab, is building an AI Chief of Staff, designed to revolutionize how we work. Most companies building AI agents are automating routine work. But we want to hold AI to a higher bar – an AI that “reasons” and helps humans deal with cognitive overload. Come work at the intersection of cutting-edge NLP, generative AI and graph learning ML techniques. Help build technology that empowers, not exhausts! Team : Stanford founder with background in data science, investing, and startups; Staff engineer at Amazon; and top-tier AI practitioners as Advisors (ex-Head of AI at Spotify, Senior Eng Director at Pinterest, AI 2030 Global Leader among others). Harvard and Stanford engineers contributed to early product development. Role : Founding ML Engineer, full-time Location : India. We can sponsor visas to relocate to the US based on fit.
