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 that regularly lights up tens of thousands of machines.
As an engineering manager, you'd drive our team toward magical tech. We have an extremely smart and fun team, so will be pretty fun.
Desired Experience
You have extensive experience as a tech lead or engineering manager for teams of 10+
You have extensive experience with some high performance language (C++, Rust, etc.)
You’re comfortable optimizing a system to an exceptional degree
You care about the problem of finding high quality knowledge and recognize how important this is for the world
Example Projects
Plan quarterly goals, and hold your team accountable on a day-to-day basis for accomplishing them
Architect how to recreate google-level search over 10 billion pages in 1 month
This is an in-person opportunity in San Francisco. We're happy to sponsor international candidates (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H1B, O1, E3). In addition to premium healthcare benefits (medical, dental, vision), we also offer fertility benefits and a monthly wellness stipend to all of our employees.
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.
