Exa is building a search engine from scratch to serve every AI application. We build massive-scale infrastructure to crawl the web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to index it, and develop super high performant vector databases in rust to search over it. We also own a $5m H200 GPU cluster and routinely run batchjobs with 10s of thousands of machines. This isn't your average startup :)
Exa is building an API to the world's knowledge unlike any that have ever existed. The people need to know -- through badass demos, tweets, hackathons, API docs, and more. Want to get the world excited about the next-gen of search?
Desired Experience
You are a strong engineer, and can quickly ship high quality, viral applets in react/node
You understand the developer community inside and out — you’re deeply plugged into the latest trends, speak the language, and can create technical content and experiences that resonate with the people who matter.
Built and shipped tools/projects that have gone viral
You have engineering experience with APIs and care deeply about designing them well
You're excited to wear many hats (frontend, social media, marketing, support, etc)
You care about the problem of finding high quality knowledge and recognize how important this is for the world
Example projects
Create and demo viral applets that showcase how Exa’s search powers next-gen applications — fast
Create the greatest API documentation of all time -- GPT-4 chat with the documentation is an example interface
Manage our social media relationship with developers
Create a banger Exa hackathon
This is an in-person opportunity in San Francisco.
We're happy to sponsor international candidates (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H1B, O1, E3).

What We Do
Exa was built with a simple goal — to organize all knowledge. After several years of heads-down research, we developed novel representation learning techniques and crawling infrastructure so that LLMs can intelligently find relevant information.
