About the Company

Our client is a Series A startup building proprietary, enterprise-grade AI systems that their customers own outright, deployed across mission-critical industries such as manufacturing, distribution, supply chain, life sciences, and defense.

  • Join a well-funded, fast-growing team where early hires get outsized ownership and direct customer impact
  • Backed by top-tier investors, with a small team of engineers from leading programs
