Ultimately, our goal is to make AI accessible and we see machine-learning for discovery (e.g. TikTok "For-You Page", FB "News feed" and YouTube "What to watch next") as the best place to start.

Shaped is a seed stage start-up backed by top investors (e.g. Y-Combinator, Susa Ventures, Tribe Capital etc...) and executives (e.g. Google, Amazon, Uber, Dropbox etc...). Our team comes from Meta, Google, Apple and Uber. We're remote but have an office in Brooklyn, New York.

We're excited to work with you. Come build the future of AI with us!

  • In-depth knowledge of mathematics, statistics and algorithms.
  • Operate well within fast paced, small teams 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Become an expert at using the Shaped ranking platform
  • Experiment with ranking models for customer's discovery use-cases
  • Analyze data to identify performance improvements for customers' models swiftly
  • Experiment with pre-trained image, language, audio and video embedding models that understand our customer's discovery data
  • Build strong relationships with customers' technical teams and leaders to ensure long-term success with Shaped
  • Deliver technical demos to showcase the Shaped's capabilities to customers.
  • Proactively communicate with customers on timelines, updates and next steps
