Building embeddings-based search infrastructure
The Role

Exa is building web-scale systems for search. We routinely run batch jobs with >1000 machines and develop production services that involve many terabytes of text. Up for the challenge?

Desired Experience

  • You have extensive LLM prompt engineering experience, or would be excited to ramp up very quickly
  • You have experience with some high performance language (C++, rust, etc.)
  • You’re comfortable optimizing the crap out of a system
  • Care about the problem of finding high quality knowledge and recognize how important this is for the world

Example Projects

  • Recreate google-level search over 10 billion pages in 1 month
  • Manage and optimize the prompts across any LLM calls
  • Revamp our document parser to work for any website
  • Make a custom vector database run over a billion vectors in under 100ms

We are open to sponsoring International candidates (e.g STEM OPT, OPT, H1B, O1, E3)

This is an in-person opportunity in San Francisco. We're big believers in in-person culture!
