Job description

Scalable API and Backend Systems Fast Growing

LiveX AI builds the human–AI interface for the physical world. Our vision — pursued in partnership with NVIDIA on the AI City initiative — is AI that meets people where they are: walk up, have a face-to-face conversation, and get help with the decision in front of you, whether that is in a store aisle, a hotel lobby, a hospital, an airport, or a stadium. Our 4K full-body AI agents speak 140 languages, show products in 3D, give interactive instruction, and run on-premises or in the cloud. They are already live with Walmart, PUMA, the NFL Super Bowl, and others.We are one company behind every layer — IP design, hardware, interaction, enterprise AI agent, and deployment — so the experience works as one product, not five vendors. Our two form factors, Gateway (freestanding, life-size) and Portal (wall-mounted, shelf edge), carry the same experience and the same content. We are an early-stage startup based in Palo Alto.
