Job description

The Challenge

At Wisq, we believe HR has the power to transform organizations and lives-but only if it's liberated from the grind of repetitive, endless busywork.

As part of our Platform team, you'll tackle complex technical challenges that push the boundaries of what AI can do:

• Build no-code agentic orchestration frameworks that integrate seamlessly with enterprise systems.
• Design pioneering memory architectures that overcome traditional RAG limits, giving agents persistent context across complex processes.
• Train domain-optimized reasoning LLMs that unlock reasoning capabilities and reduce hallucinations for nuanced business scenarios.
• Engineer scalable backend services that power intuitive UIs for seamless human-AI collaboration on documents and processes.

Who You Are

We're looking for versatile, brilliant engineers who thrive across the full spectrum of AI challenges-from LLM fine-tuning to agentic workflows. You'll transcend traditional tech stack roles, build not only AI platforms but also leverage AI to multiply your productivity.

Whether you've demonstrated proven success through 5+ years developing distributed systems, implementing microservices, and creating ML/generative AI solutions, or through academic excellence at a top CS program and standout performance in your cohort-we value intelligence, drive, and work ethic above all.

Working at Wisq

Our platform tech stack includes (but isn't limited to) Python, Java, Kafka, vector databases, reactive programming frameworks, commercial and open-weight LLMs-though we're just as ready to adopt or invent new tools if the task calls for it.

Our high-velocity team moves fast, thinks big, and constantly pushes the boundaries of what's possible at the bleeding edge of AI technology. We work hard, but maintain a deeply collaborative and fun-loving atmosphere-from virtual lunches and draw battles to cooking classes that bring our distributed team together. While our headquarters is in Redwood City, CA, we operate as a hybrid/remote team across the US.
