About Us

We’re on a mission to redefine how AI interacts with the world—bringing human-like understanding, perception, and communication to the forefront of technology. Our cutting-edge research in multi-modal AI powers everything from text-to-video AI avatars to real-time interactive experiences that are reshaping industries like healthcare, education, sales, and beyond.

Backed by top investors, we’re rapidly scaling and looking for exceptional talent to push the boundaries of AI-driven communication. If you're ready to own data strategy at a high-growth AI company, this is your chance to make an impact.

The Role: Data Architect, Builder, and Innovator

Data isn’t just fuel for our AI—it’s the foundation of everything we build. As Senior Data Engineer, you won’t just clean datasets and maintain pipelines. You’ll own the entire data lifecycle, from sourcing and structuring to optimizing for next-gen AI models.

We’re looking for someone who thinks beyond conventional data engineering—you anticipate what’s next, push boundaries, and make sure our AI has access to the best data possible.

• Be a data visionary – You see beyond the present and anticipate the data needs of future AI models, ensuring high-quality, diverse, and structured datasets that drive innovation.
• Own data end-to-end – You don’t just process data—you strategically source, structure, and optimize multimodal datasets (text, video, images, and more) for maximum AI effectiveness.
• Shape AI model training – Work closely with ML engineers to curate and fine-tune datasets that elevate AI performance, efficiency, and inference accuracy.
• Be a data hunter – Whether it’s web scraping, third-party integrations, or unconventional sources, you know how to acquire the right data and scale data procurement.
• Master video data – AI-generated video presents unique challenges. You’ll define classification, segmentation, and structuring techniques to optimize video datasets for AI training.
• Optimize labeling & automation – Develop automated pipelines that make data cleaning, labeling, and structuring seamless while maintaining gold-standard quality.
• Turn internal data into insights – Our own platform is a goldmine of information. You’ll uncover, organize, and optimize internal data for strategic impact.
• Move fast, but don’t break data – You balance speed and precision, ensuring every pipeline, dataset, and workflow is scalable, reliable, and built to last.
• You don’t just maintain—you build. From zero to fully running pipelines, you make things happen. You take charge of how we leverage data for AI-driven decisions.
• Extreme ownership – You don’t wait for someone to tell you what data we need. You proactively identify, source, and structure data for AI breakthroughs.
• Product-minded approach – You understand the bigger picture and align data strategies with company goals.
• Experience with multimodal AI data – Background in LLMs, video, text, and image data is a huge plus.
• Automation first – You know how to automate data cleaning, structuring, and labeling to ensure efficiency and scale.
• ML-first mindset – You get that better data = better models and optimize datasets for maximal AI impact.
• Technical expertise – You’ve got Python, SQL, and large-scale data processing tools locked down.
• Speed + accuracy – You move fast but never compromise on precision.
• You set the standard – We’re solving problems no one has solved before. You create best practices, not just follow them.

Why Join Us?

When you join our team, you’re joining a fast-moving, diverse, and collaborative environment where your work has direct impact. We offer:

• Flexible work schedules & remote-friendly culture
• Unlimited PTO & top-tier healthcare
• A high-energy, supportive team that loves what they do

We aren’t just looking for someone to fit in—we want culture creators who bring new perspectives and push boundaries. If you’re ready to take data engineering to the next level and drive the future of human-AI interaction, let’s talk.
